Clemson Football will beat Alabama. There, I said it.

I’m so sick of hearing the national pundits and Bama fans say the Tide will steamroll the Tigers. Here’s a news flash: Clemson football will beat Alabama.

This week, I’ve gotten several emails, tweets, and messages telling me just how bad Alabama will beat Clemson football on Monday in Glendale, Arizona. As a matter of fact, I received a message last night telling me just how wrong I was to write a “5 Reasons Clemson Football Will Beat Alabama” article because the Tigers clearly stood no chance.

The Alabama faithful (and/or bandwagoners) and the national media have already given the National Championship Trophy to the Crimson Tide. If you go to any news outlet, even some Clemson websites, it’s all about what Clemson must do to win the game and how all the pressure is on the Tigers to not make any mistakes. For instance, just take a look at this ESPN FPI Prediction for the game.

I’ve got a newsflash for all you out there: Clemson football will win the game and it doesn’t have to be a perfect-out either.

I know it’s blasphemy, right? For me to even utter those words make me a “homer” and a “terrible analyst.” Maybe I’m wrong, but let me tell you why Clemson football will win this game and, no, it won’t be an “upset” and it won’t be a “shocker.”
