ESPN did everything possible to prevent LSU from playing

CLEMSON in the semis. They knew that whoever played CLEMSON would probably lose, so they went all out to promote LSU continuously to make everyone think they were better than OSU. I don't think they are, and I think LSU knows that they have that butt-whooping coming. I respect Burrow and their RB, but they can be stopped with a great defense. If Auburn was able to do it, then CLEMSON can too. The only reason Auburn lost is that they have almost no offense, but CLEMSON's O is world class.

I hope you are right - both LSU and Clemson, however, are different teams now than they were earlier in the season. Both look better. Clemson is built for this moment - hoping we finish strong.

I disagree. I thi k espn and the playoff committee thought, rightly, that Ohio had the best chance of knocking us out and thereby keeping us out of the nc game.
I think they wanted the flexibility to engineer us out of the NC since the season began and this is why they knocked us down to 5th after UNC.
