Alabama only goes 9-4 in a semi-rebuilding year.

Texas wins 11 games.

Notre Dame plays in a BCS game.

Teddy Bridgewater becomes a Heisman finalist.

Matt Barkley gets injured and misses a large portion of the season.

NC State plays in the ACC championship game.

Pitt wins 8 games.

Honestly, **** all of you picking ND to do good, jinxes.

For real, ND is lucky to win 6 games and Kelly gets canned and we hire a homerun.

The most unlikely prediction in the entire thread.

I already know FSU isn't going anywhere -- Herbstreit, Pollack, Steele and Packer have all picked us to win the BCS title.

Really weird since your choking has been just as bad as Clemson's for the last 15 years.

Not really, we've just haven't been very good and overrated the majority of those years, particularly during "The Lost Decade". I'd say we choked and undereachieved in 2003 and 2011, but most of those other teams just weren't very good. Heck, Bowden probably overachieved just keeping our bowl streak alive during my time at FSU with Drew Weatherford/Xavier Lee at QB.

Oh, and we've been down long enough it doesn't need to be exaggerated into 15 years. We have a national title and three BCS title game appearances in the last 15 seasons.

You and I both know if we hire someone in 4 month it'll be the coach who wins the MAC title

Ducks win the Natty.

Our rebuilding Alabama predictions aren't looking too good, guys.

I was right about Arkansas being overrated. Even with Bobby Petrino, they wouldn't have enough defense.

hobojoe · 09-12-2012, 06:08 PM

I'm feeling good about most of my predictions except the Glennon one.

JonMatrix · 09-12-2012, 07:22 PM

Pitt may go winless this season. I'd be shocked if Virginia Tech wins by less than 4 TDs.

I'm probably wrong on Alabama rebuilding, NC State to the ACC title game, and ND to a BCS game.

Jury's still out on Texas, Barkley is still healthy...but

Bridgewater is off to a great start this year. With the Big East schedule, Louisville should get a high enough ranking to earn some hype for their QB.

**BlueBaron** · 09-12-2012, 08:15 PM

Nick Saban must've read this thread and said I'll show you rebuilding mother ****ers!

ATLien · 09-13-2012, 05:56 AM

We'll see, but the SEC West is terrible and they don't have to play Georgia, South Carolina, or Florida in the East so it looks good for them.

**Dissonance** · 09-13-2012, 10:58 AM

Told ya, ATL, they'd reload. They're like my SEC team if I had one haha. I know they're recruting.

ATLien · 09-13-2012, 11:01 AM

Still gave up 6 sacks to WKU at home.

**Dissonance** · 09-13-2012, 11:04 AM

How many were given up before the game was a blowout?

Obviously, they're not perfect, probably still have things to work on though.
