If they play like they did in the first half vs Clemson, or eventually, LSU, they'll lose to either.

Clemson isn't getting much respect.  Their schedule has been as weak as everyone says, but remember, just because a team hasn't shown it can beat a good team doesn't mean it can't.  It simply hasn't (yet?).

For future consideration, Clemson should be required to join a P5 conference.

Yeah, this AAC crap doesn't cut it for me.

I'm not confident any non-Clemson ACC team would have won the AAC this year.  That's f-ed up.

Just for reference:

Ohio State: 42
Cincy: Nothing

That happened this season. Memphis needed a late comeback, at home, to beat Cincy yesterday.

Right.
AAC Champ Memphis struggled with Ole Miss, winning 15-10.  If you ranked all SEC teams, OM would have been 12th out of 14 teams.

Some extra incentive for the Buckeyes; the last time these two met in the playoffs:

Ohio State    0
Clemson    31

That game led to to OSU's offensive staff being let go.  Ed Warriner went to Minnesota briefly before landing at Michigan and rejuvenating their offensive line.  Tim Beck went on to confuse Texas' offense.

OSU replaced them with Kevin Wilson and Ryan Day, who you may have heard of.  Since time is a flat circle, here we are facing Clemson again.

Having got that out of the way, Ohio State is the best overall team in every phase of the game, in NCAA football. They will have to play as they did in the 2nd half against Wisconsin; Ohio State gets the win.


Ohio State has also been tested by a much stronger set of opponents, and passed with flying colors. Wisconsin, Michigan, Penn State, and even probably Indiana are better than anything Clemson has faced. Their likely best opponent was dispatched 50-7 by LSU a week ago.

As some one else mentioned maybe that score should be embedded on the the welcome mat to the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.Maybe you noticed the agrument that was made earleir for at least getting guys like Dwayne Haskins or a fellow named Joe Burrow perhaps you heard of him into the QB rotation.Kinda helps when you can stretch the field and go over the top.I just hope Fields play is not affected by his bad knee

One of the oddities of this era:

Obviously the B1G Championship is a big deal around here and I'm happy that my Buckeyes won another one and moved that much closer to #1 in B1G Championships. 

That said, from a National perspective the B1GCG was for . . .

Red jerseys in the Fiesta Bowl against Clemson. That is it. With the win the Buckeyes are #2 and will wear home uniforms. 

With an Ohio  State loss, Clemson would have moved to #2 and worn their home uniforms in the Fiesta Bowl. Ohio State would have dropped to #3 and worn road uniforms in the Fiesta Bowl.

This game is sitting in my gut and feeling off. I would have much rather beat up Oregon in the Rose, then get embarrassed again in the desert.

Clemson owns the Buckeyes. They have never lost. I don't see this game even being competitive; UNDEFEATED, Defending National Champions, they have no fear of the slow northern buckeyes who are running around on trophy tours. 

Clemson started off the season slow, and even after taking 6 games off, they still ended up with a better defense and rushing attack than the Buckeyes.

Dabo is the best coach in the college ranks right now (That's right I said it, he has beaten Saban the last 2 out of 3,) Day is just a 1st year guy who inherited an above average roster. 

There is NO WAY Ohio State beats Clemson!

Hope I'm wrong.
