    Ohio State & Clemson have a shot against Alabama in the title game if the right team shows up.

    everyone else gets their doors blown off

    Surprised nobody commented on MICHIGAN being smaller dog than Washington and the two teams in B1G Championship.

    Don't forget Oklahoma +12.5

    I personally think they would have the best shot to knock off bama. Of course their issue is just making the playoffs

    I appreciate the unbiased opinion. Michigan would get stomped by Alabama. USC would actually give them a game NOW...but barring chaos and a mistake by the committee, Michigan has as good a shot at making the playoffs as USC does

    Nobody can beat bama this year. They got 3 ruuning backs. 2 homerun hitters at receiver plus a tight end and a mobile quarterback.

    Michigan would try to outtough Bama and fail bad. you need to score on Bama and Wash can do that.

    Michigan is nothin. That quarterback would be broken up by the 3rd quarter.

    Michigan is not even part of the conversation, Alabama, Ohio State and Clemson are safely in and fourth team is either Washington (my choice) or Penn State.

    Yeah, give Petersen a month to prepare and tell him, his staff, and players that they have no shot in hell. I think I've heard this before...give me all the points with the Huskies to keep it interesting.

    There's only one team that has a realistic shot at beating Alabama and that's Clemson.

    They said the same thing about Paterno too.
    If it's Washington and Alabama and if the books want to give me 14, I'll take Petersen and his QB to keep it close.
    I'm willing to bet a nickel on that too, and just might.

    Alabama defense made minced meat out of a hamburger last night, Browning is a beast, Huskies been dropping 40 burgers on opposition all sesson, Browning has 42 TD passes.

    Alabama has a steel wall for a defense, as a fan I could get very pumped for the game, Alabama is exciting to watch on defense, Browning is must see TV, that would be a great game.

    MAC team, as much as a force as they've been, you'd have to set it 21 to 24 range you would think.

    Penn St would be 21, I was thinking around 24 but probably more like 27.

    Wrong team favored in the Ohio State game...

    I'd make Clemson the 3.5 point chalk personally.
