    Why is Clemson only favored by -7 over Ohio State?
    I think the line should be closer to -10 for Clemson. Ohio State has not been overly impressive against Indiana and Northwestern in the two games I watched. Only angle I can see if Ohio come out guns a blazing because not many coaches feel they belong in the CFP and they have been getting dissed in the media.

    What am I missing?

      The northwestern game meant nothing, Ohio state was without many key players for that game, against Indiana they were up 35-7 and stopped playing hard, Clemsons defense has been very inconsistent.

        Buying points in college football is the dumbest thing a bettor can do, games are far too high scoring for any one or half point to have real value.

          OSU defensive front 7 are pretty tough

          Could make headaches for Lawrence

          Offensive they'll score their 27 points regardless... will Clemson struggle to get 30?

                I win consistently across all major sports and I’d compare my record to your but all you do is post a pick a week without any records you dumb shit.

                  will clemson be motivated to play in the national championship to get handled by bama? Ohio State seems like the right play here by default because of that

                    Lawrence already beat Alabama and Alabama defense is nothing special, your take is absurd

                      I think Lawrence has something to prove. He likely won’t be winning the Heisman and I am sure he already knows that.

                        I think Clemson by 14 or more. What has tOSU done ? Not much.

                          Yeah agree and the national championship game will likely be his last college football game

                            Clemson hasn’t done anything either other than beat a Notre dame team playing for nothing, the acc was garbage

                              ohio state to me is garbage, they never play well in the big games against good teams like clemson, the qb adv is big with the tigers in this one...

                                    Yes , Clemson was ultra-motivated and Notre Dame obviously was not. I hope we see a better Irish effort vs. Alabama.

                                            You could say that about Clemson every year but they still do well in the playoffs; Clemson -7 or nothing.

                                              True but Ohio state has consistently done well in the playoffs too despite not being tested most years in the big ten.

                                                    We will see after the game. But go ahead and make a prediction of your own. In the end that’s what matters here not you deciding what you think qualifies as Eddy mummy’s acceptable posts.

                                                      This Alabama team is far and away better than Clemson this year. And check the history of college football playoffs here. I’ve predicted many of them correctly and face many people that have said the same thing about my predictions and then disappeared after.

                                                          I didn't say it was unacceptable, I said it was the dumbest post in this thread. Dumb posts are acceptable at SBR but so are so are posts highlighting the dumb posts. You could you literally switch the two teams around in your original comment and the post wouldn't change at all. It would be equally dumb.

                                                                      Quit with the straw man fallacies and making my post about declaring one side as a surefire winner. My post was highlighting the idiocy you try to pass as logic. Your premise that Ohio State has an edge because Clemson (a team who has beaten Bama two out of the last three) will want to avoid Alabama in the finals is beyond stupid.

                                                                      If Clemson was trying to duck the finals, they could have saved themselves a lot of time and energy but not punching their ticket to the semi-finals. There's all kinds of stupid in your post and only proves that my original supposition that you're the dumbest poster on SBR has merit.
