Not only does Clemson have to prepare for one of the nation s most dangerous teams, but they also have to bounce back off of an upset loss last week. This may be too big of a load for the respect-seeking Tigers to handle. If Tommy Bowden pulls this one off, I ll add him to my list on top coaches. Vick is banged up and the Hurricanes are on a mission. Playing in Miami is just the icing on the cake as Miami should be able to earn themselves an Orange Bowl berth with this one.
Tech s best chances come with their special teams.
A blocked punt or Andre Davis return could swing the momentum of this game in a heartbeat. I know I do. I know, it really isn t my style but this one is set up too perfectly. Michigan s had two weeks to prepare for their trip to Northwestern and the Wildcats are coming off of a last second victory over Minnesota. I expect Michigan to go up early and put it on cruise control in the second half.
