College Football Playoff Predictions

The time for the 3rd ever college football playoff is coming up once again, and each year the matchups seem to be more intriguing than the last. Who will claim to be the best of the best? I will preview each game with a score prediction as well.

Peach Bowl

Alabama (13-0) vs. Washington (12-1)
Dec. 31, 3:00 p.m.

Preview: This game will feature the dominate defense of Alabama versus the pro-style offense of Washington led by Jake Browning. This will probably be the best quarterback the Tide has played all season. Let's be honest though, the only offensive scheme that slightly bothers this SEC team is the spread offense. We all saw the absolute pummeling when Bama sent USC home crying, and Washington runs almost the same exact offense. This game will be close, when kickoff happens. Alabama will win by a landslide to take them to the national championship. Husky fans cover your eyes, for your own sake.

Score prediction: Alabama 41, Washington 13


Fiesta Bowl

Clemson (12-1) vs. Ohio State (11-1)
Dec. 31, 7:00 p.m.

Preview: The Tigers versus the Buckeyes will give us multiple interesting matchups to watch. For one, getting to see J.T. Barret head to head against Clemson's Deshaun Watson is going to be very fun in watching two great playmaking quarterbacks. Another good matchup is comparing the defenses because they both have been hot lately. Although I will say for season-long consistency, Ohio State has the better resume. Finally, the last thing to watch is the coaching matchup. Two of the best coaches in the game right now Urban Meyer (Ohio State) versus Dabo Swinney (Clemson) will be a game to remember. The question is, who opens up the playbook more and risks more? This will be a competitive game up until the very end. I predict Clemson will have more poise to close the game out to crush Ohio State's championship hopes.

Score prediction: Clemson 31, Ohio State 28


College Football Playoff National Championship

(Prediction) Alabama vs. Clemson
Jan. 9, 2017 8:30 p.m.

Preview: A rematch of last year's national championship? Can Watson go the NFL with a ring under his belt and end his college career right? Not if the Crimson Tide have anything to say about it. Who would have guessed this last year but, Alabama's defense is better than last time Clemson faced them. Watson will have his way for a while, but I presume at halftime Bama will make the necessary adjustments to contain their offense enough to take the lead behind the true freshman Jalen Hurts. Sorry Clemson, but once again, so close yet so far away. Who can dethrone Alabama?

Score Prediction: Alabama 35, Clemson 24

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
