Clemson -7 v G Tech

I held off posting this, because there is alot of resistance to this pick from some very good handicappers.

Nevertheless, I like the value here.

The key IMO is the Clemson pass rush on the Yellow Jackets will be too much. Clemson's stats are overrated by a couple creampuff opponents (FAU anyone), so I won't quote them as evidence. Let's just say that Clemson has been able to overcome numerous early injuries on the defensive side of the ball and emerged as big play animals. Here's a classic test of Reggie Ball to not make the big mistakes. I don't think he accomplishes that. Even with the beast known as Calvin Johnson, I see G Tech's offense sputtering. I almost expect a pick 6 in this game. The power rankings I like (Sagarin predictor, Dunkel, and my own) all give the edge to Clemson at home here. I gotta go with that.

Clemson 31
G Tech 7

Clemson's defense did what I expected, but I don't think anyone anticipated the rushing game they brought.

Big Winner
