ESPN does mock 64-team CFB tournament

ESPN did its yearly 64-team college football tournament projection and Clemson was bounced in the Sweet 16 by a familiar face in the exercise.
Chris Low had Brent Venables and 3rd-seeded Oklahoma meeting the 2nd-seeded Tigers in a region semifinal and the Sooners coming out on top, 21-17:
"Talk about familiarity between coaching staffs. First-year Oklahoma coach Brent Venables was Dabo Swinney's defensive coordinator for 10 years. Clemson's new defensive coordinator, Wes Goodwin, was Venables' protégé while working his way up from an analyst's role. Neither side has a lot of success offensively, as both defenses come to play. Clemson's defensive line is stifling, but Oklahoma senior linebacker DaShaun White forces a turnover deep in Clemson territory that the Sooners turn into the winning touchdown."
The early-round projected Clemson wins were over 15-seed Missouri and 10-seed Purdue.
Ohio State was picked to win it all over Alabama.

More like ESPN's wet dream Final 4:
Ohio State and 3 from the SEC (2 current SEC and 1 future SEC)

Well, they only had 13 SEC teams in the tourney (15 if you count Texas and Oklahoma)... Can you imagine what would have happened if they did that in a basketball championship? And they thought we would not notice the bias there...
