Clemson with a bye in the semifinal

[LT Profits]

We are all just giving our opinions here....none of us are geniuses or we would be making decisions that matter....

Lawrence>Fields
Ettienne>Dobbins
Higgins>Olave

all my professional opinions

Not really opinion when based on reliable power ratings, and all the ones I have looked at are consistent: Ohio State rated higher overall with edge in offensive rating bigger than Clemson edge in defensive rating. Just poke around and you will see.

OSU going to beat Clemson

Line gonna be pk or OSU -1.5

Rated by who??? As JJ says nobody knows anything or we would all be rich

[LT Profits]

100% correct that you can’t look at past years for college but I really think Clemson is better this year than last

Difference this year is that ACC is the weakest it has ever been while I actually think the Big Ten is better than recent years, when I thought it was a grossly overrated conference. So Clemson has faced nothing this year that even remotely resembles the Ohio State offense, so the first half of this game will be all-telling, I expect Ohio State to jump out quickly and we'll see where it goes from there.

[Cuse0323]

I respect Clemson. I had them over Bama last year. For whatever reason, I’m just not seeing it this year. I think they go down here. The D isn’t what it was. Chase Young will be in Lawrence’s grill all game long. I may be completely wrong here. Dabo over Day is an edge, and that’s all that may matter in this one.

[chico2663]

The committee don’t know shit bout shit., they not ranking best, they ranking most deserving which how should be., books telling you who best cause Clemson the fav over everyone., books Job to know.,

remember ala being 7 pt fav over ohio state few years back. i think osu won by double digits to the osu 3rd string qb.

There are lots of reliable power ratings out there, you have to know where to look. Heck, even the most popular free ratings from Sagarin are in agreement with the better ones I look at, at least at the top of the ratings.

Common LT....still doesn’t predict the winner....all these ratings are just by people like me and you....enough knowledge to know just about nothing

[chico2663]

funny guys that didn't watch osu all year thinks this was osu offense. Fields didn't even think of running.

I am talking about pure power ratings, not dipshit touts.

Take your homer glasses off Chico....I’m a Florida State guy and despise Clemson but know what I see

No, there is no opinion involved. The best ones are all stat-driven.

Oh there’s ways.



What, no, no there’s not. Not me.

This is the Booya we want

Clemson is down this year despite record, less NFL talent according to so called experts

LmfAo. It is in fact opinion. Spin it how you like. And I’ll spin it books made the better team favs., their numbers disagree w yours.

No opinion whatsoever. Do you even understand the power ratings I am talking about? They are all stat-based, taking subjectivity out of the equation.

[ThaTopMoron]

They have been disrespected all year....Clemson/LSU final would be the best two teams anyway

a bye? vs 13-0 Bucks team maybe most talented bucks team ever who wears teams down? passed all their tests and never laid an egg? Coach who knows his team and made all the right changes at half yesterday? QB with 40 TD to 1 INT.

a bye?



I'm just going to sit back and watch this game because it will come down to a few plays in the 4th quarter 9/10 times its played

Power ratings and stats are fine, but they're not the be-all end-all. If so, every "favorite" would win every time. It's not unreasonable to say the teams are fairly even at rb/wr. Lawrence is the best quarterback in the country, much less the playoffs. And he's been there. And won. Big. That has to be worth something. Dabo unquestionably gets the edge over Day. No knock on him just too early in his career as a head coach. Say what you want about Clemson's schedule, all I know is when they have faced the "big boys" more often than not they've won. But that's why they play the games, if the pundits picked then Alabama would have won the title in September.

Right and I respect everything in this post. I was simply addressing guys that were saying it was an "opinion" that power ratings have Ohio State #1, those guys must not know how power ratings work because there is zero opinion involved..

[Da Manster!]

LSU is (-11.5) over Oklahoma...I predicted somewhere around (-14)...not that far off...don't feel good about that spread either way...the Sooners aren't chopped liver and I guarantee you they will put up a better fight than Georgia did...I think Clemson (-2.5) is a good play...these are my initial thoughts and leans.

and just like that the line has now shot up to LSU (-13)!...

every single one of their Wide receivers could be drafted in the 1st round. WTF are you talking about.

[Easy-Rider 66]

TIGERS. by 7+

[chico2663]

We can just do 50 if you want but we can do way more If you like??

I will take the other 50. Paying back loan or would do more.

Day has never lost a game as double digit favorite. He coached with Chip Kelly

[homie1975]

Both teams chock full of HS superstars.

I'll go dabo and trevor over day and fields.

[stevenash]

I personally think Clemson is the best of the four of them.

[jtoler]

Lawrence is the best quarterback in the country, much less the playoffs.

thats funny many were down on him after the first 5 games of the season he was sitting at 7 tds and 5 ints at that point, acc is full of bad defenses and every team gives up 30+ pts a game

[swordsandtequila]

Was actually 8/5 after 5, then 26/3 the next eight games. Most of those Chase Brice got playing time in the 2nd half. Not knocking the other qbs, but we've seen Lawrence on the big stage. Until proven otherwise I'm riding the Tigers. The ones in Carolina

[PaperTrail07]

Ohio State -3 +150...............already booked the natty
