Getting exposed. Bad for the Big10, but certainly not on the level of the ACC's showing this bowl season. Canes need a hardassed DC & OL coach to set the tone.

Go Canes!

Michigan State has no business being in this game. I knew their #3 ranking was a joke and just an easy way for the committee to get Bama in the finals.

have said this from Day 1. ESPN is terrified of what happened last year with the SEC being beaten in semis. Tack on OU destroying Bama two years ago and they wanted the clearest path for the SEC in the finals. Vegas validates the point.

The 1 seed was a 4 point underdog to the 4 seed. The 2 seed was a 9.5 favorite over the 3 seed. If Clemson played Michigan State, would Michigan State really of been a 4 point favorite? Then would Alabama been a 9.5 favorite over Oklahoma? Don't think so.......

Obviously u don't pay attention to college football. Bama's kryptonite is athletic QBs b/c of how they play so much man. There were plenty of running lanes for Cook, but he's a true pocket passer. D Wats is going to have a field day running on this team.

Agree with everything you said. It was clear to anyone that follows college football that Oklahoma is better than Michigan State, yet MSU is #3 ? I thought the committee was supposed to prevent this nonsense. More of the same.

Ohio state would have been a much better matchup

maybe so but michigan state not osu won the big 10. msu beat osu. no way when had 2 teams same division, same conference same record would the one that lost head to head and didn't win conference end up ranked higher.

msu is getting hammered. yet they are one of best teams in big 10 and one of the big 10s best defenses year in year out. yet bama is killing them. clemson has much better athletes then msu though.

also bama has an issue with mobile running dual threat qb's and kills pocket passers which cook is. clemson is just a better matchup.
 
Clemson will be tough for Alabama. Clemson shut down a rushing attack that averaged over 300/game with their best d lineman not playing. Plus Clemson has the Achilles heel of a Bama defense in Watson. It'll be a match up of the two best teams in the country for sure.

correct and their crutch was that OU didn't play that weekend of conf title games. Michigan State slides up 2 spots by barely beating Iowa at the last minute where OU moves down being idle. At least the previous year Ohio State dominated 59-0 to move up. The chair of the committee is an AD at an SEC school.......
 
It won't be as easy for Bama vs Clemson but the will beat them by 10-14 points. I hope I'm wrong.

Anyone just catch that when Fowler and Herbstreit chuckled about how many "non" coaches Alabama has in the coaching press box? Literally more than NFL team. Cmon.

Bama is the only team allowed by ncaa to do it.

THIS! It's ruining CFB for them to be allowed to have this kind of advantage over everyone else. NCAA is REDNECK HAYSEED CENTRAL!

Obviously u don't pay attention to college football. Bama's kryptonite is athletic QBs b/c of how they play so much man. There were plenty of running lanes for Cook, but he's a true pocket passer. D Wats is going to have a field day running on this team.

Considering this is a new year and Saban knows what drives the Clemson offense you can bet they won't allow it to happen. Clemson hasn't faced anything like this D all year. Clemson better have their backup QB ready to go. He won't be able to sustain the punishment Bama is going to deliver. This might be their best front 7 in the Saban era. They aren't getting beat by a team that will run their QB between the tackles.

Clemson is going to get kicked around.

Lmfao. Clemson has shut down every run team they've played. OU high powered RBs and mayfield didn't finish the game without Lawson on the line.

Bama is going to wear down Clemson on both sides of the ball. OU is super finesse in their style of offense. They typically fail when they play a somewhat physical defense. They were the perfect matchup for Clemson.
 
bammer played **** near perfect and it will be impossible for them to match that level of play next week. Clemson will hit them with some unconventional offense and speed at the skill positions. espn will be in tears once their baby bammer goes down in flames after coming oh so close.
