It's nearly impossible to win back to back MNCs in football.

That said, have our odds for winning a MNC in 2016 improved since we didn't win it in 2015? The obvious answer is yes, but I'm no statistician.

....and.....
1) Stoudt hits pass to a wide open Leggett who is across the goal line.
2) Lakip makes one of two missed FG's.
3) Alexander doesn't slip at line and shuts down the play Greene made a 75 yard easy uncovered TD.
...any single one of those to happen different (only needs one of them), they'd have lost last time they all played in Tallahassee in regulation. Took all 4 times going wrong for FSU to get a chance at OT to win it last time. I wouldn't count Clemson out this time around either.

Don't forget the TD they took back and the next snap from the half yard line went about 25 yards.
Also the fumble around FSUs 10 with less than 2 mins to go.
That game still pizzes me off, FSU got as lucky as you can get.

We had a 2 in 10 chance of winning it last year and a 1 in 5 chance of winning it this year. So thats completely different odds.

Nope independent events - look at each game as having a

Given probability of winning. Each season winning 15 games is the multiplication of those individual games.
Next season, it starts over - previous season has no correlation.

It's also hard to go 14-0 2 seasons in a row.

I think BrazzyB said 2015 was our year so ...

based on that I'll say, No. Apparently we missed our chance.

I don't even know what MNCCS stands for but that ain't the way to do it.
Back to back national championships is done one game at a time.
100% is the same as 1 50% is the same as 1/2 or .5
Clemson vs coots =1
Clemson vs SCState = .5
.5 X 1 = .5
There is a 50% chance we will beat SC and SC State; both games.
It is best to predict a games score after the game is played. Even Yogi Berra knew that.
SO, after the first 12 games are over, post your predictions and date them todays date.
Then win one game, and then win one game, then win one game.
OH! Almost forgot The week before the NACHGM be sure to look ahead to playing The Furman Paladins the following year. That may seem crazy to look ahead like that but not any more crazy than any other looking ahead games.
