3. Clemson goes undefeated

I don’t care who you are, it’s hard to go undefeated.

I went back and forth on this prediction because I’m just not sure if it will really come to fruition. My other ones I feel pretty good about, but this one is tough.

It’s just so hard to when every single game.

You have to have an elite level of focus. You also have to be able to take every single team’s best effort and find a way to win. It’s a really tough thing to do.

The reason that I think this Clemson football team can do it, though, has to do with their focus and talent. This team seems much more focused than last year’s team. They are out for revenge and want that National Championship.

I think that makes a difference.

Another factor is the difference in talent between Clemson and the rest of its schedule. In all truthfulness, there’s no team on the Tigers’ schedule that they aren’t better than. The only one that may come close is Florida State. After the Seminoles, could Boston College, South Carolina, Texas A&M, NC State, Georgia Tech or Louisville be the next best team? I’m not sure.

My point is that I just can see a scenario where this team is able to dominate those other teams unlike other years.
