Does anyone here think Clemson will lose? And if so, why?

Just curious to see what some other viewpoints are.

Why would anyone here think clemson would lose unless they are coot or bucknut lurkers?
Only way Clemson loses this game is if we turn the ball over.

Because maybe some people are Clemson fans but think OSU is just better? Doesn't mean you can't be a diehard Clemson fan if you think they'll lose. Like I doubt Clemson would beat 2001 Miami.

I believe without a doubt that DW4 and our Tigers will win this game. It will be a good game though. I think Clemson will be too much in the end. Way too many weapons for the Tiger "O". Ohio State hasn't seen anything like this yet this year.

I absolutely do not think Clemson will lose to OSU. I see a similar game to the last time we met. However, this OSU offense is not as good as the last one we played. Our offense is better than the one that played last time. Clemson's defensive line will assert itself and Barrett might be hurting by the 3rd quarter. That's just how I see it. Clemson wins 31-20.

Clemson should beat 2001 Miami. Most of those guys are almost 40 now, many out of shape, probably haven't played in years.
Clemson wins in a blow-out.

Think we will lose? No. Could we? Absolutely.

Oh St is talented and well coached. I expect D to mix some man coverage with their good DBs, maybe put a spy on DW, and mix in some of the D Pitt used against us (and I believe VT gave some of the same looks.) Perhaps they slow us down.
If JT Barrett is in and they're running game gets going, their O can be explosive. Brent will have to have these guys disciplined and focused, which is usually the case.
Lastly, can we limit TOs, esp in the red zone.
This will be a good game. I get the feeling folks on tnet are banking on a NCG spot, but this Oh St team will be a tall task.. they are #3 in the country for a reason. I'm pulling for a Tiger victory, but its a 1 game season with a huge test ahead. Go Tigers!!

I said something similar below -- took me a little longer to get my thoughts written, though! If I had updated the thread before posting, I would have just responded "Agree" to your post!
TU for letting me read your mind.

My least orange-colored thoughts on the game

I understand the OP. You can be a true fan and believe we are not the best team on the field/court at times.
That said, I believe the 2016 Clemson Football Team to be talented enough to win any remaining game that we might have, regardless of opponent. It is not merely my desires, but I really believe this intellectually (head) and emotionally (heart). Far from a cliche that most teams throw around, I think that Clemson is actually the only team that can beat Clemson.
This does not take anything away from OSU or Bama, if we end up facing them. The reality is that we may lose the Fiesta Bowl. If that happens, it will not be because OSU was lucky or bad refs. A good team can beat a good team on any given day. OSU is a good team. If they outplay or outcoach Clemson, we will lose.
"A" game vs. "A" game, however, will produce a Clemson win.

I agree. Watson is a game changer!! If he plays a clean game with the rest of the offense I don't think that anyone can beat him.
