ESPN Bowl Projections for Clemson |
Clemson fans are feeling pretty optimistic after watching their team whip Virginia Tech 31-17 last week. It was the Tigers' third win over a top 25 team in the first five games for just the second time in school history.
ESPN released their bowl projections for this week and had Clemson in the Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl respectively. Both analysts had them winning their first playoff game and having a classic rematch with Alabama for Clemson-Alabama III. The Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Cali. had (2) Clemson vs. (3) Oklahoma projection according to CBSSports.com's latest article. Brett McMurphy also had a Clemson vs. Alabama projection. "When exactly did Clemson and Alabama turn into the Harlem Globetrotters and every one else the Washington Generals? Clemson and Alabama have been so dominating that it’s almost a foregone conclusion they will meet for the national title for a third consecutive season." Clemson is a three-touchdown favorite over Wake Forest for homecoming on Saturday. The Demon Deacons are more talented than their normal teams so the Tigers will have to play well for the win.
