knows football. I don't believe he gets caught up in the "who's hot at the moment" rhetoric you hear from the others. Herbstreit was like this, but he's starting to fall into the same trap. Pollack recognizes strengths and weaknesses of teams very good.

Remember Herbstreit is a buckeye. So he's going to follow his upbringing. He was the same way a few years ago when we played OSU. Other than that he's pretty fair on his assessment of Clemson. Go Tigers. Leftover turkey Saturday night.

look at games we have 0-1 turnover vs. multiple
Dec 1, 2016, 11:18 AM

that's the key factor.
multiple TO's - struggle with anybody no TO's - practically unstoppable
Just look at the stats...... Turnovers by game: Auburn - 2 *struggle Troy - 3 *struggle SC State - 0 *blowout Georgia Tech - 1 *blowout Louisville - 5 *struggle Boston College - 1 *blowout NC State - 4 *struggle Fla State - 2 *struggle Syracuse - 0 *blowout Pittsburgh - 3 *struggle/loss Wake Forest - 1 *blowout SCAR - 1 *blowout

Scooter nails it. Very good point. We are our own worst enemy. No team dictates to us. We either roll, or stub our toe.

Exactly! Ohio State and Michigan can't throw the football

very well and can be made one dimensional by a good defense.
That's not true about us and possibly less true about Alabama. We can spread Bama out and make them run and cover. You aren't going to beat them at their game. Their talented depth is too good for that.

It comes down to QB play and Watson is way better than Barret. Barret is a poor mans Tahj Boyd.

I'm just wondering...

How in the hell Ohio State could be #3 after all is said and done. If you are going to keep the Big 10 champion out of the playoff and take the runner up (Which I don't agree with) then the runner up needs to be #4. If Ohio State makes the playoffs, they should not be above ANY conference champion.
That would give us: Bama vs Ohio State Clemson vs Washington
Clemson vs Bama rematch in the title game.

I'd rather play Ohio State. Big 10 overrated. Also, look what Alabama did to Mich St in last year's playoff semis.

I have been posting all week about what a sham it is for OSU to be ranked higher than us...or really even in top 4 except I hope we play them in Fiesta Bowl!

Everyone seems to be ignoring the last sentence which says Ohio State would be favored.

I am the OSU fan that goes to every Clemson home game and also 2 of the 3 post season Clemson games last year. Ohio State has won a couple of good games this year (out of conference included), but Clemson is a top to bottom better team. I started going to games about 5 years ago and I have grown to love this team more and more. I truly think that Clemson would win this match up. BTW I own more orange and purple clothing than red. I think I might be slowly and reluctantly converting.
