Well, here we folks. The 2019 National Championship Drinking Game – and another fun season of college football in the books. We say it every year, but it sure is bittersweet, isn’t it? It is literally the most meaningful game of the entire season. The stakes could not be any higher, but by the same token, it also means it’s our final live college football viewing experience of the season. We’re poised for another lengthy offseason after tonight, but it does provide me with an opportunity to look back at the season.
First off, my prediction back in August – I was dead ass wrong about an Alabama-Wisconsin National Championship. I don’t think there was a more disappointing team in 2018 than the Badgers. Missouri was my ‘dark horse’ pick in the SEC, and I wasn’t too terribly far off about that, but they weren’t a legitimate threat to Georgia as I thought they’d be. That team ended up being Florida. I also thought Clemson would take a huge step back, and that this Tide-Tigers feud was over. Florida State, Miami, and Virginia Tech were ALL supposed challenge for the ACC title.
Actually, ‘Bama being here is about all I got right this season. I did predict Texas A&M would surprise some people, and that the Pac-12 would miss the College Football Playoff again. But, otherwise, a down year for me as far as prognostications go.
