I’ll say this, it’s very difficult to pick against the spread. 

Not only did I think Clemson would beat LSU, but I figured the two opponents would drive the score well past the over/under. Instead, defense held sway, as Brian Kelly’s team recorded quite possibly the biggest victory of his LSU tenure. 

In Miami, it’s pretty obvious now that coach Mario Cristobal is building something. In an early season game that fanned the flames of the Notre Dame-Miami rivalry, the ‘Canes had just a little bit more than Notre Dame on both sides of the ball. Maybe it’s the result of Notre Dame’s offense waking up a little too late. Either way, the ‘Canes are 1-0, and the Irish are 0-1. That having been said, Notre Dame fans can take solace in the fact that the College Football Playoff now permits a team to make an early misstep, and then correct it later on.
