Stealing ideas
I'm going to steal two things from my buddy Bryan Hanks over in Kinston.
1. His praise of the Prep Yearbook available over at ncpreps.com. It's well worth the $17.
2. His idea of breaking down a schedule game-by-game. My choice? The Clemson Tigers...
Sept. 3 - vs. Florida State - Everyone seems convinced that the Seminoles are somehow going to come out and hammer people this year, just because of the all-star group of assistants that Bobby Bowden brought in. Me, I tend to focus on the facts that Clemson has won three of the last four in the series and two in a row against the 'Noles at home. I'll take Clemson in a close one, 21-20.
Sept. 8 - vs. UL Monroe - The Skyhawks are pretty good for a Sun Belt team, which is to say that they might beat Duke. Maybe. Clemson wins, 45-14.
Sept. 15 - vs. Furman - Not exactly murderer's row here. Clemson wins, 42-0.
Sept. 22 - at N.C. State - Clemson wins this game on paper, but Tom O'Brien is a Tiger killer. I'm a little worried about this one, but I'll take the Tigers, 28-21.
Sept. 29 - at Georgia Tech - At this point, Clemson will be ranked and a little too cocky. I like the Jackets here, 23-21.
Oct. 6 - Virginia Tech - The Hokies are a national championship contender. Clemson is not. Hokies win, 28-13.
Oct. 20 - Central Michigan - This is a decent team, but the home field edge will be enough for Clemson, 35-24.
Oct. 27 - at Maryland - These games are always close. This one will be, too. Clemson wins, 27-21, in OT.
Nov. 3 - at Duke - Duke has no shot here. Clemson rolls, 49-17.
Nov. 10 - Wake Forest - The Deacs blew a late lead last year. They implode a lot sooner this time. Clemson wins, 35-20.
Nov. 17 - Boston College - I'm really interested to see what this team does with a new coach. My guess is they falls short here. Clemson wins, 28-14.
Nov. 24 - at South Carolina - It pains me to write this, but the Gamecocks are looking good on paper. That defense and the home field will swing this one to SC, 28-24.
That's 9-3 for the Tigers and, assuming FSU loses another league game along the way, a berth in the ACC title game.
Anything less and there'll be one less Bowden in the ACC.
