I think we're in for a hell of a national championship game.

Sermon didn't look this good earlier in the year.

Last time our WRs and skill guys were this good was Michael Thomas and Zeke, was also the only time we played Bama and Saban.

Just like last night it'll come down to the trenches. Bama has a huge advantage against our DBs, so we'll have to get pressure.

Don't see it happening for the Bucks, but I'll take ending Clemsons season. This Alabama team is the best offense in college football history I think

Kinda makes a difference when you don't have 11 games of wear and tear...

Most people would love Dabo, if he'd turned their favorite college into a powerhouse like he did Clemson. No reason to dislike the guy at all tbh :)

Great Coach, no doubt, however, I don't believe in giving the opposition any reason for extra motivation, I always followed Lou Holtz's blueprint, praise the opposition.

Anyway, Ryan Day called a great game and you know I root for Ohio State and was pleased with the result, now, it's onto to Alabama and I'm hoping to defeat another great coach.

Actually I disagree, you need time for a team to come together, anybody will tell you that. Yes, maybe less injuries, however, new players need time in a system in order to be the most productive IMHO.

Clemson vs Ohio St to see who gets to play Bama. Who you got? Going with Clemson tonight but I'm biased.

Great Program at Clemson and the new QB they have coming is special, Clemson is an elite program and will continue to be one.

I don't get it along with these bulleten board comments.

Well, like I communicated I have always embraced Lou Hotz's philosophy by praising the opponent, everyone has a different opinion on this matter, some people don't believe this and felt McVay praised Belichick too much during the Super Bowl, but IMO, I just would not have done what Dabo did because it galvanized the Buckeyes even more again IMHO.

FWIW Woody Hayes never believed in that either.

Ohio State deserves credit, even though the way they got there was a touch tainted. They better bring the same intensity against Alabama or it'll be another blow out. Granted, ND didn't belong in that game but Alabama fires on all cylinders every week. Alabama by 8 is probably a fair line but I'd be scared to only get 8 points against them.

IMO, hard to post "Tainted" during a pandemic. Not their fault, they only played 6 games. Anyway you're probably right, Alabama most likely wins, but I never root for Alabama and will continue to do so.

OK? I still have no idea what was said or done that is so offensive that it somehow motivated Ohio St.

Swinney said, he felt Ohio State did not deserve to be there and in his coaches rating, he had the Buckeyes #11 because they only played 6 games.

They did only play 6 games, they're a great team but they had it easy getting to that point. I didn't realize this was out of line today I learned. They played 5 less games to get to this point and a lot of things can happen to set a team back or they can hit a slump or get injuries or give teams more tape on them to look at. Don't know about 11 but Ohio St 1000% had it easier than the other 3 in the playoffs to get there.
