It's going to be really funny when all of those Bucknut fans

that have been trashing Clemson all year come to the realization that they are going to have to play us in the 1st round of the playoff.

They will not like that at all! For us, they have been an easy nut to crack.

I think that matchups against OSU and LSU favor us.

For all the questions we get about the level of competition we play no one ever questions OSU. I don’t think they’re ready for Clemson.

Exactly. Highlight reels of mostly uncontested throws against bad DBs do not impress me***

and the B1G title game. None of those teams are Alabama, but they are going to be pretty well tested. We've proven in the past that we can step up our game for the playoff regardless of recent competition though so I'm not too worried about that.

Fields is great don’t get me wrong but they have not and will not face a defense like ours.

One thing he doesn’t do is throw ints but in watching some highlights it would be hard to throw ints against the defenses they’re playing. It will be interesting to see if that trend continues this week. Honestly I feel like our defense would do to him what they did to JT Barrett. We see the video game numbers from OSU every year and like years past I just don’t think they are as good as the BIG 10 makes them look.

defense than the teams they play in the Big Ten. There are good, speedy players here and there on those teams, but it's not at nearly every position like it is at Clemson. Like Micah Parsons is really good for Penn State, but i just don't see that level of talent and athleticism other places on their defense. Their secondary has been getting beaten over the top really easily by Minnesota and Indiana the last two weeks.

Wisconsin had been the toughest team that OSU has played thus far. The Badgers are a decent team with a solid defense but an anemic offense. Wisconsin was able to hang tough with the Buckeyes through pretty much 3 quarter's because of their defense. The Wisconsin offense did nothing to help their defense in that game.
It will be interesting to see how OSU plays against the most complete team they will play in the regular season, in Penn St. Penn St is currently in the top 20 on both offense and defense (points scored and against).
Michigan will be a tougher version of Wisconsin, great defense but questionable offense. Can the Wolverines defense keep them in a close game and give their offense a chance to win it late?
Then they might have to possibly play a Minnesota team that will throw everything at OSU for a chance to make the top 4. The Golden Gophers will be playing with a lot to win, but not much to lose. Which will make them dangerous.
We will soon see what kind of team Ohio St is in the next few weeks. They have a chance to make a strong case for #1 by rolling those three teams or they could trip up and fall out of the playoff picture. Its going to be fun to watch and see if OSU can avoid falling 9n their own sword as they tend to do.

...realize that a loss to Penn State, Michigan, or Minnesota will knock them out of the playoffs.

I would actually hope the SEC got 2 in with LSU and Georgia if that happens. LSU and Georgia would likely get sent to Glendale which would leave us playing O310 St in Atlanta.

#1 OSU vs #4 LSU
#2 Clemson vs #3 UGA
Hopefully the committee would have some sense and send Clemson and Georgia to AZ rather than making us play the dawgs in Atlanta.

We would travel better to Atlanta! Available tickets would be split. UGA would scoff up 2nd party tickets though. They also may travel better to Glendale. Would be our 3rd time out there.

Agreed. I'd rather play anyone in Atl. I think it would be 60/40 in Arizona and probably only about 80% full. In Atl it would probably be a similar split but a packed house. Ticket prices would be through the roof, but as long as you get them through IPTAY, you're fine. Much easier travel, and better stadium.

I believe the committee is supposed to make the decision, not the #1 team.

Wouldn't put it past the CFP but would be a real shame to have Clemson vs OSU in semi when everyone agrees they are the 2 most complete teams. Top 5 offense & defense for both.....that needs to be NCG match-up, not a semi.
