38-33 in college football this year
I think the value is with Clemson at -2. Clemson came into the season bored and the ACC was trash, they played down to the competition all year, almost losing to teams like North Carolina. Ohio State was very consistent in the regular season compared to last year with Meyer, they obviously wanted to prove they could win without him.
Clemson's schedule has bee very easy but Clemson recruits as well as anyone in the country and they already proved they can beat top teams by beating Bama twice in the last several years.
Sweeney gets most of the credit for building the program but Venables has been great as defensive coordinator. He's shut down nearly every offense he's had extra time to prepare for since 2014.
2014 Clemson holds Oklahoma to 6 in the bowl game
2015 Clemson holds Oklahoma to 17 the bowl gam
2016 Clemson shuts out Ohio State in the playoff game
2017 Clemson only gives up 24 to Bama
2018 Clemson holds ND to 3 points in the playoff game.
QB play in the big ten was bad this year, Lawrence is far better than Patterson, Lewerke, Coan, or Clifford. Fields was great with play action and a strong running game, but he wasn't great as a pocket passer and Clemson should be able to stop Dobbins and Ohio State's running game.
