So 2018 saw the coronation of the Clemson Tigers as National Champions. And the emergence of Trevor Lawrence as a future star in the making.
Can the Tigers win back-to-back titles? Will the Crimson Tide bounce back and own all before them.
Or will we see another college emerge victorious this year.
The season kicks of with a Florida "derby" on the 24th of August: Hurricanes v Gators in Orlando.
Not a full fixture list here but the opening couple of weeks:

I fantasize all the time about the Saints maybe tanking to get Trevor Lawrence. It's a pipe dream but it would send me over the moon in joy.
I think Clemson can repeat. Not really feeling Alabama this year but they are going to be in the final 4.
All I want this year is for LSU to break the cycle and finally beat Bama again. Last time they did was in 2011 and that was a long time ago.
