I wasn't going to even mess with this this year, too busy - but here I am succumbing to curiosity....
The spreadsheet lines up pretty evenly with the Vegas prediction here. Let's call it a 34-17 CLEMSON win.
A bit disappointed with where the defense is landing so far, particularly our rushing defense - the first time in a while we've had a NEGATIVE defensive bonus - I know, I know, a lot of that is in garbage time. But still... let's raise our level on that side of the ball.
This is the first time since I've done box scores that Clemson defenses have allowed opponents to score ABOVE their average points per game. Not great. Not good.
I'll also say that the simulations have us LOSING to a wide range of teams, both in the ACC and nationally... Our dud against Georgia is hurting our projection results, so the further we get away from that and the more good performances we can put up the better.
Georgia, who put up 34 points on us, only averages 27 points per game (vs FBS schools). Even with scoring only 3 against UGA, our offense is putting up 42 ppg which is impressive - just need the defense to perform.
