This is the best playoff group ever. Clemson is the undefeated champion and one one competitive game all season, and they are the #3 seed. OSU has been historically good via computer numbers, went undefeated, and didn't have a single game within single digits. They are the #2 seed. LSU is obviously extremely strong. These are three historically great teams (and also Oklahoma).
Last year we had two great teams. The year before we had (IMO) no great teams. Curious as to your thoughts on this Clemson team verses the '15 and '16 teams. This OSU team is much better than our '16 team, and I think arguably better than the '14 team. But as a field I don't think there is any group stronger than this one.
Yes, QB play alone is pretty incredible in this playoff...

Jalen is obviously the weakest QB, but just look at the massive games that he has been a part of and had success in. The guy is just a winner.
Burrow and TL have had unbelievable seasons. Fields is a different cat, but had an incredible year as well. He's the most unproven, which should play to Venables' advantage.
But yes, I think any of these 4 teams have a legit chance of winning the playoff.
