Happy Monday friends, and welcome to the week 10 edition of Bracketology here at ClutchPoints! Before we dive in, I'd like to take a brief second to wish my girlfriend a very Happy Birthday. If it weren't for her insisting that I request to bring my Bracketology credentials to ClutchPoints, you fine folks would be deprived of these weekly college hoops check-ins on the road to March Madness. So without further ado…

And One!
Last week, my And One! Prediction dealt with the three teams left standing as unbeatens in college hoops. I went out on a limb and took a shot on the James Madison Dukes, primarily because their In-Conference schedule didn't seem as daunting as that of Ole Miss and Houston. Well, imagine my embarrassment as I sit here one week later, and the Dukes went down already. Congrats to the Houston Cougars who, for all we know, might not even be the best team in their own conference. And hey, speaking of undefeated teams…
The College Football Playoff National Championship Game is tonight, pitting the undefeated Michigan Wolverines against the undefeated Washington Huskies. Plenty has been written about the game already right here at ClutchPoints, and a few weeks back I went on record saying that the Washington Huskies would go on to win the National Championship. Well, now it's time to double down on Washington, and since I used my And One! prediction on my expected Thanksgiving dinner in-take, why the hell couldn't I make a college football prediction here too? Give me Washington over Michigan tonight in Houston.
