Well...so far it's "gee it's nice when the team you're pulling for has a great quarterback." Hopefully things will continue as they've been going.

This game is a JOKE. LSU is DESTROYING no defense Oklahoma from the no defense Big 12 49-14 with 495 yds of offense AT THE HALF. :shock: All the LSU TDs offensive. LSU could literally put up 98 and 1,000 yards if they wanted to. Oklahoma being in the final 4 is a joke. Heck, a Bama/LSU rematch would have been far better than this clown show.

All I can say as someone who does pull for LSU is "Thank you Ohio." That guy is good. Yes LSU's offense is really rolling but that quarterback is just insane. Put the kind of quarterback LSU has usually had in there and it's a totally different game.

Oklahoma would have finished about 4th in the SEC West

If OSU beats Clemson tonight (which likely won't happen), I hope Burrow destroys them in the Championship game. And I like the Big 10.

Spoiler alert...it's going to be another all-southeastern final after Clemson boat races Ohio State. :nod:

Your boat race predictions haven't gone so well this year. Just saying. :coffee:

Still, fuck Ohio State. I hope you're right.

I think technically South Carolina is part of the southeast. :coffee:

This has to be Burrow's last series. He blows up a knee in the 4th Q up by five or six TDs and Orgeron should be the first 14-0 coach to be fired mid-season.

LSU is just sick on O. Either OSU or Clempson will be a dog in the NC.

Burrow went to grade school in Fargo, when his dad was a NDSU asst. coach.

Your prediction worked out but Clemson was lucky as hell. Ohio State was clearly the better team and all kinds of weird things happened to get Clemson over the top. Not a lock by any means for LSU but LSU caught a break as Ohio State clearly would've been a tougher task.

Then why couldn't Ohio St stop Clemsons last drive, if they were so much better.

I wouldn't say it worked out, but I would disagree that Ohio State was the better team. Clemson looked like they had a problem with the tempo of Ohio State's offense early but after Ohio State hit them early in the game Clemson out-scored them 29-7.

LSU's defense needs to be more consistent. It looks great at times but then has extended lapses. Great offense is no guarantee. In 2015 Oregon beat Florida State 59 - 20 in the semifinal. Also the Ducks went into the championship game averaging 48 points per game. Ohio State thumped them 42-20 in the championship game.

I don't think Clemson has the talent that Ohio State team had. 17 Buckeyes were taken during the two NFL drafts following Ohio State's national title and I doubt if we see that kind of production over the next two NFL drafts from Clemson. To put the talent gap into perspective, the Oregon team Ohio State played had 7 players taken in the next two NFL drafts. So Ohio State likely had a substantial overall talent edge over Oregon and Clemson probably does not have that over LSU. But, still, it's a cautionary tale.

Ohio State out gained Clemson during both halves. Doesn't really matter. I'm just telling you as someone who is pulling for the team that's going to play on the other side of the bracket that I think LSU's chances got better with Clemson winning that game. Ohio State looked better. More physcal. Stronger on both lines of scrimmage. So on and so forth. Clemson caught some breaks. Won the turnover battle. Got penalized less for fewer yards with one Ohio State penalty in particular being absolutely huge by virtue of picking Clemson up off the mat while costing Ohio State a starting cornerback at the same time.

Ohio State out-gained them, but in yards per play (which is what a lot of the modern analytics use more than total yards) Clemson had 6.7 yards, Ohio State had 6.1.

Either way, I'll give Ohio State the edge as far as pass rush and offensive coaching, but Clemson has (IMO) the best DC in the game and a great QB-RB tandem that's one of the best I've ever seen at the college level.
