The 2019 College Football season is finally upon us. Here are our complete staff predictions for conferences, playoff berths and the Heisman.

After a long wait, we finally have College Football.

The Florida Gators and Miami Hurricanes will kickoff the 2019 season with a game played in Orlando, followed by Arizona at Hawaii for the night cap.

Just a few days after those two games are played as part of “Week Zero,” we will have the rest of the College Football world open up their season, including Clemson against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets at 8 p.m. Thursday in Death Valley.

The Tigers and Yellow Jackets will match up live on the newly-launched ACC Network. The game will be featured on ESPN College GameDay as part of the opening weekend of College Football.

As we enter the 2019 season, there are many questions to be asked both locally and nationally. Can Clemson replace the talent it lost on the defensive side of the ball? Can the Tigers repeat as National Champions? Will Alabama be set on revenge? Is it Tua Tagovailoa or Trevor Lawrence for the Heisman, or could it be someone else? Will a team emerge to compete with Clemson and Alabama?

The pageantry, the excitement, the atmosphere. It’s all upon us.

As we prepare for the 2019 College Football season, here’s a look at the complete staff predictions for conferences, playoff berths and the Heisman. We’ll begin first by looking at our staff conference-by-conference predictions, followed by the Heisman picks and our National Championship predictions.

We’ll have Shawn Spencer (site expert), Tyreese Ingram (contributor), Cole Little (contributor) Nick Young (contributor), Sean Watterson (contributor) and Barry Shuck (contributor) dishing out picks.
