#1 LSU vs #4 Oklahoma, 4 pm ET on Dec. 28 in Atlanta

There's a reason Vegas has the O/U in the mid 70s, and it ain't because they're a believer in the "LSU's defense is back!" nonsense.
Pfft... just what does Vegas know about college football. If ESPN and the committee say that LSU's D is back, they are sure to know... I mean... it's their jobs to know... you know?

Yeah, I mean it's not like the Vegas guys might find themselves out in the desert digging their own hole if they fuck up. They've got it easy....no pressure to get it right.

I think Hurts' ability to run presents a more difficult challenge for Ohio State. Although, in fairness, I'm basing a lot of that off of Ped's back-up's relative success when OSU wasn't prepared for it. Burrow's ability to get the ball out quick on slants and such is something I'd expect OSU to game plan for and, as we saw with Wisconsin, something OSU can actually do. All of which is to say, I'm not sure OU is the pushover they're being made out to be.

I think I've gotta agree with that. I'm for whatever improves the Buckeyes' chances at winning the Natty.

And since the final game is at the SuperDome in N'Awlins, I'd rather it be Oklahoma (plus they're more beatable).
Well I can assure you we'd much rather play LSU in the first round of the playoff than having to deal with Chase Young. That dude's a monster!
