Who ya got for the CFP title? I’m guessing Bama-ND.

Would like to see UM take down the Gators for no other reason than Florida’s colors are horrid and Michigan’s unis are classic.

I think you are right on, Dion. I think blowU will be shredded by a complete inability to stop the tide's run game and the spoiled little brat will get the fewest possessions he has had all year. ND and the tigers should be a great game to watch.
 
The game that intrigues me is Bama - Blown U. I just cannot imagine Saban’s team being surprised by Murray. Further, this will be (by far) the best defense OU has faced. Finally, OU’s defense will be challenged like they have not been this season.

To me the measurables suggest a dominating Bama win but who knows? Their performance against Georgia was a surprise and they probably should have lost. That said, I feel like Bama has something to prove — that they are really as good as the hype. They may not be. If they enter the game believing what I have written in the first paragraph, they could be in trouble.

What do I want to see? A beat down of Blow U and an attitude adjustment for Mr. Entitled.
 
IMO, Zero U has a puncher's chance - a very slim one. If Zero U can force +2 in turnover margin and turn the takeaways into points, they have a chance. If the turnovers are equal, the 14-point spread is about right. If the Osoners lose the turnover battle, it will get very ugly - remember their loss to USC in 2005 (55-19).

I see Clemson winning a tight one against ND - the Clemson defense is excellent, even minus a starter (suspended by NCAA).

I will make it a point to stay strictly away from the Collins/Randol Mill area today - traffic will be horrible for the Cotton Bowl.
 
In spite of what I posted above, there is a reason they go ahead and play the game, no matter what the predictions say.
 
Michigan just gave up there. Time to rewatch an old Friends or Seinfeld while waiting for ND vs Clemson. If the coaches isn't bothering to try to win I'm not bothering to watch.
 
That's the same team that thought they were going to win the national title--right up until they lost to OSU. Now, they can't even beat a team that didn't even win their division. This is why bowl games are laughable.
 
That may be the first time I've seen someone actually intentionally only hit a ball down on 4th down and not try for a pick they could have tried for. Well done.
