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

And yet the Ol Miss game was a blow out. Okie defense is still Big 8/10/12/10 level defense and Burrows is an NFL Ready QB. I see a tornado about to hit the prairie wagon.

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?

Look Burrow is a great guy. He handled his exit from Ohio State with quiet dignity. He deserves the Heisman. I rooted for him all year.

But now we're in The Hunger Games, and he's playing for District Go Fuck Yourself. So if Okie is an easier path to a championship for Thee Ohio State University, fuck him.

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.

Exactly.

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!

Love seeing fans of two other teams talk smack on this board!

Not at all! Although I would also worry about potentially facing a Clemson team that's felt disrespected all year.

 

[cjmik_75]

Again, you’re in luck!

You won’t have to worry about playing those disrespected tigers from South Carolina either.

I'm not sure you're aware that @Nutriaitch is an LSU fan.

Man, espnu radio honks aren't giving Okie a chance. Reminds me of Ohio State-Florida or (on a happier note) Ohio State-Alabama.
