I'm piggy backing off of others, but have some original HOT TAKES for this thread.

1. Clay Helton and Tom Herman Switch positions.
2. Lamar Jackson wins the Heisman, JT Barrett finishes 2nd and Watson isn't invited to NYC.
3. Les Miles is the head coach at Kentucky next year.
4. Ohio State and Michigan both make the playoff.
5. Texas A&M Wins the SEC West, loses to Tennessee in the SEC Championship, and Bama and Tennessee are the other 2 final 4 teams.


Bonus: the Big XII adds Houston, BYU, Cincinnati and UConn this offseason.

Man, I think Tennessee is awful. I think they may end up with 3-4 losses. I've watched them play about 3 times. Overtime vs. App St, winning by like 4 against a bad OU team, and having to come from behind in other 2 games and win on a hail mary. But, I guess that's why they call it a bold prediction.

I agree--I think they're the worst undefeated team left.

Exactly, I don't expect more than 1 of my predictions to be right.

After watching Houston get beat by Navy, I'd say Tom Herman's head is already in Austin...yup, he'll be the Longhorn's coach next season.

Lamar Jackson is last person invited to heisman ceremony

Alabama loses to an unranked team and misses the playoffs.

LSU doesn't lose a game the rest of the year.

Wisconsin makes the playoffs.
Last one could happen. Middle two awful. First one is trending up but probably a miss.

Texas fires Charlie Strong and hire Tom Herman

Both Ohio State and Michigan make the playoff

Playoff is OSU, Michigan, Alabama, ACC Champ (Clemson)

Lamar Jackson gets injured and doesn't win the Heisman
First one bad. Second one good. Third one is interesting. Fourth is close. Fifth no injury but could lose heisman.

I don't know about last, but I think Lamar Jackson doesn't win the Heisman now. I thought that was a pretty solid pick seeing how it seemed like such a lock at one point.

I posed the question the other day, but I'm still not sure who would get it over him?

Don't think I could have been more wrong on the first one, lol. Forgot I said that one. If Michigan hadn't lost to Iowa I think I would be looking really good on both related to them.

True, no one has really come out and ran away with it. Maybe if Browning goes nuts on Colorado?
