College Football Week 8: 5 bold predictions

Here are five bold predictions heading into Week 8 of the college football season.

Week 7 brought us some great games. There were a few top 10 matchups, some huge conference games and a few top tier teams just escaped with their lives. A few things became apparent to me as well this week. The first is something that I should have already known, but that is to never bet against Alabama. Poor Tennessee. They got beat up and down the field all game. Alabama truly is the best team in college football.

The second thing is that the ACC’s immortal giants (Clemson and Louisville) looked, well, mortal. Both did win, but not in any convincing way. Louisville should have been able to post at least double what they actually scored and Clemson got off the hook when NC State missed a game-winning field goal. This isn’t the first time that Clemson has looked less than spectacular.

Week 8 has some decent games, but it has the looking to be a rather slow college football weekend. Only one big time matchup. That doesn’t mean that the games themselves won’t be great though. The matchups aren’t very sexy but as it goes, that is why they play the games. So here are some bold predictions to get your ready for the half point of the college football weekend.
