I was reeeeally hoping OU would pull it out, but whatever.  Once again, the NC will come from the southeast.  I do hate these Big XII type games, though.  It's not even football.  Bama-Clemson might not be as entertaining, but they're both playing football at least.

As a big defense guy, I can't believe I'm the one coming to it's defense, but I didn't find the defense played in the Rose Bowl that bad, the offenses we're just that good.  The tackling left something to be desired, but I didn't think it was your typical Big 12 or Pac 12 game with guys just running free all over the field.

Yeah, um, it's all on the same scale.  You can't play good defense while giving up 50 points.  Oklahoma's defense was garbage all night - UGA averaged 10+ yards per carry ALL NIGHT.  Georgia's D was an embarrassment in the first half, but then fixed things for awhile before falling behind again.

Neither DC is feeling good at the moment, nor should they.  Neither defense combated the run or the pass.  Neither caused multiple turnovers.  They stunk.

OU offense abused everybody this season.  Uga made some great adjustments up front, tackled better and did benefit from some odd play calls down the stretch.   That was not asu v TT.

Da'Ron Payne doing his best Charles Woodson impression....at 300 lbs.

Clemson has 100 total yards.  Yeah, Bama doesn't belong, blah blah.

Yeah, I have no clue what OU was doing on offense in overtime.  It was so odd.

They don't belong based on what they did in reg season, and their offense leaves a lot to be desired, but the D is great tonight. They got the magic ticket and they are making most of that opportunity. 

I also think your seeing 2 teams with offensive deficiencies, which makes these 2 defenses look even better.

I'm content with this beauty pageant format.  I can't look away from the car wreck of osu at Iowa.  I suspect that was the diff.  I said before that is up there w stanford at usc fpr biggest wtf game of all time.  

Clemson D is really good and the
D is doing quite well tonight.    Bama D seems to have benefited greatly from a month off.   Perhaps we should wonder why Clemson is in, despite mauling the canes.

This is a hard watch tonight. I love great defense, but this is pretty bad offense too. Another clunker semifinal

Nah, Clemson earned it, but their deficiencies are definitely being exposed tonight. Championship caliber defense, but the offense is not there yet

It's like offenses are never allowed to be good or gawd forbid - great even. Nope, even if you're playing a Heisman QB behind one of the best OLs in CFB you absolutely better not let them score over 20 or so help me gawd your game will be instantly demoted to the "not football" judgement bin!

Nice to hear from OAM disease's patient zero.

I love Army's method of winning football as much as anyone believe me, but what makes college foot ball superior to NFL is the offensive variance and innovation.   Whether the NFL likes it or not, the game will become more like the 7 on 7 played in the spring and summer.   I don't enjoy this Bama manhandling of Clemson or UW manhandling of Iowa any less than the Rose Bowl today.   Baker and OU was fun to watch.   I do wish we could see them v Clemson or Bama.
