re: Will OM v FSU be the closest game on opening weekend?

Can either afford an early loss and still make the playoffs?

If the CFP is going to expect a high SOS ( and they do), they are going to have to cut some slack on a close early OOC loss. I believe that is why we are seeing the quality of opening weekend games increase. The thinking is that a win will, of course, help you. A loss won't kill you.
