🔮 SATURDAY STANDARD PREDICTION

🐺 Northwestern 17 — Indiana 45 🔴

Indiana ROLLS in its Big Ten opener.

But don’t let the final score fool you — Aidan Chiles is going to test this Hoosier defense in ways it hasn’t seen yet.

Chiles makes some plays. Indiana’s defense shows a few cracks.

Still, the Hoosiers are too much at home.

Indiana starts Big Ten play with a statement.

🔮 SATURDAY STANDARD PREDICTION

🐯 CLEMSON 38 — CAL 31 🐻

I’m taking Clemson in a shootout.

The Tigers ride the momentum from last week’s comeback and find a way to make enough plays late in Berkeley.

A statement win on the road keeps Clemson rolling…

And Dabo Swinney stays alive for another week.

Clemson vs. California 🔥

Clemson keys to win:
• Carry the momentum from the UNC comeback
• Protect the football
• Establish the run and control the trenches

Cal keys to win:
• Pressure the freshman QB
• Force turnovers
• Let Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele make plays

Clemson has momentum. Now it has to travel.

Can the Tigers keep it rolling out West? 🐯

@nothisispat95 @walkonredshirts What happens if USC loses ? What’s the impact to the USC. Not an individual.

If Oregon loses, they are more than likely going to miss the playoffs.

@ebertocean Imagine a twelve team playoff with this field

[The Saturday Standard @SpotTheBall0]

What ever happened to Trevon Boykin ?

Dude was electric.

[The Saturday Standard @SpotTheBall0]

@nothisispat95 @walkonredshirts The question was USC or Oregon.

Not Lincoln Riley or Oregon.

[The Saturday Standard @SpotTheBall0]

I see no issue with this.

Best resume in the country if that happens.

[Trinidaddy🇹🇹 @trinidaddychamp]

If we win at Florida and Texas loses to Tennessee, should be we ranked #1?

[The Saturday Standard @SpotTheBall0]

@CollegeFBonX Neither SEC team that’s for sure.

A&M and Oklahoma both look like they cant pass the ball more than 10 yards down the field.

[The Saturday Standard @SpotTheBall0]

Been thinking about this game a lot. I’m probably going to rock with Tennessee on this one.

Neyland is a tough environment and they have a defense this year to help Faizon Brandon.

First team to 27 probably wins this game 🤷

[Walk-On Redshirts @walkonredshirts]

I think Faizon Brandon is going to be good but I'm not sure he's experienced enough to win Saturday.
