re: Who would be best equipped to win the CFP with a backup QB?

I guess I am not as sold on Clemson as some of you, especially without Lawrence. Their backup played in one game, last year, against Syracuse and made a few throws. Sorry if I'm not convinced. I'm not saying that Clemson isn't for real this year, but I just don't really know, with the losses from last year's defense, and with that schedule and all. But, they do have a great RB that they could ride, and possibly be successful enough.

I don't think that LSU could overcome losing Burrow with that defense, and while CEH is an exceptional player, I don't think that they could give him a workhorse load as a viable gameplan + I am not convinced that Brennan is that good. I totally could be wrong about CEH though in this regard.

I know nothing about Fields's backup, but they could give Dobbins a mule's load, and with serviceable QB play, and that defense, I could see them being the best equipped.

Rattler is supposed to be really good, but he is an inexperienced freshman. Have we seen freshman QBs come in and ball out? Sure. Is it the norm? Absolutely not. I don't think that their defense and run game(without Hurts) is good enough to be the best equipped.

Herbert's backup I know nothing about, but I am just gonig to assume that Oregon isn't the correct answer here.

Again, I know nothing about Fromm's backup, but if he could be at all serviceable, they could possibly ride the back of Swift and Herrien, along with that defense.
