College Football: 25 Bold Predictions for Top 25 in Week 13
Bold Prediction: Clemson sacks Jake Bentley six times. South Carolina is allowing 2.3 sacks per game, seventh most in the SEC. Clemson has registered an average of 3.6 sacks per game, second best in the ACC. Bentley is a solid passer, but he can’t block for himself.
Bold Prediction: Malik Rosier accounts for five touchdowns. The narrative against the Canes has adapted each week. First it was their week schedule. Now it’s transitioned to an inconsistent quarterback. Miami isn’t going to miss another chance to make their case for the top spot in the College Football Playoff and Rosier will lead the way.
Bold Prediction: Alabama turns the ball over three times. The Crimson Tide rank fifth in the nation with a +12 turnover margin. They’ve only turned the ball over seven times and have a ballhawking defense, but that rate is not sustainable. The turnover bug bites them against the Tigers and knocks them out of the SEC Championship game at the minimum.

Rivalry week doesn’t ever seem to disappoint. The Iron Bowl, Egg Bowl and Apple Cup all figure to be exciting contests. Other games such as the Palmetto Bowl (South Carolina vs. Clemson) and Clean Old-Fashined Hate (Georgia vs. Georgia Tech) show promise too. The best bet is to stay in front of the tv all weekend.
