OU is in I think. I don't think anyone ever considered that Wisc could win this thing. What a shit storm.
Unfortunately, we could get a situation where LSU is #1, Clemson #2, and OSU #4. We would have to beat OSU and Clemson to win the NC. Just what we were trying to avoid by getting to #1.
My opinion is if you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. The Buckeyes are showing how vulnerable they are tonight. They don't scare me. And Clemson hasn't played anyone of note. Are they as good as their record? That remains to be seen.
One thing I don't like about the playoffs is the time between games. It's 3 weeks until the semi-final game, then another 16 days until the championship game. I think that is too long and kills momentum. They should play the semi-finals 2 weeks after the conference championship games and the final game one week after that.
