I disagree, CP, about OSU. I think we stomp a mudhole in them. I honestly don't think Ok can hang with us either. IMO, our 2 toughest remaining games are Ga and Clemson, if we get that far.
All I am saying is that OK
> OSU > ND. And with that being said, Clemson could have a clear advantage in the playoffs, in terms of
player fatigue, by playing ND instead of one of the other more talented teams in the first round.
OK is the best of the three right now. Their offense will stretch Bama's defense to the max. But they don't have the corresponding defense to compete.
OSU is probably the most dangerous because they have the most talent. Give OSU a month to prepare, let those talented players to get their act together, let them throw the ball up for grabs during the game because they have nothing to lose, and they could be a tough matchup. I remember what happened in 2014, when OSU was the 4th seed, barely making the playoffs. A whole different team showed up.
ND, on the other hand, hasn't really played anyone, and recently struggled with USC. Either Bama or Clemson would stomp a mud hole in them.
I hear what you're saying and I agree with you on everything but OSU. If they had a year to prepare for us, we'd still stomp a mudhole..... just sayin'.
