If we beat ND and given the choice next - Ohio St or Clemson?

Who do you prefer to play?

Myself, I'm thinking Ohio State.

Clemson worries me. They are balanced on offense. Defense is not as stout as in the past but still next to Georgia's will be the best one we face. I know we'd be favored by 7-10 but this feels like 2015. I think they'd play us tough and might win.

Ohio State '20 to me is more like a Big 12 team with less offense and more defense. I think we shoot out with them but would beat them by 21+.

Yeah but whoever you beat, you win the NC. So, I don't mind taking the path of least resistance

True. I think it's basically impossible to tell which team would provide that this year because we have no idea of the relative strength of the conferences, due to no OOC games.

I want to beat Clemson to get that 2018 NC game out of my mind.

I'd like to see Ohio St take them to triple overtime though.

I hope we embarrass the shite out of them.

Thinking about revenge....

No players left from the 2014 OSU team that beat us.

Still plenty of players on Clemson’s roster from 2018 when they beat us (and beat us soundly at 44-16). Plus one of their key components to that team - Trevor Lawrence.

I want a Bama win versus Trevor Lawrence. Something we’ve gotten against most great QB’s who have beaten us besides Cardale Jones and Cam Newton.

So I’m going with Clemson. Lawrence will walk out of his final game as a loser.

Clemson. They’re the better team, and they beat us more recently.

Beating them means more to me than Ohio State who has already been embarrassed multiple times since they last beat us, and I agree with Dabo that I’m not even sure they deserve to be in the playoff with just 6 wins

Both are quality opponents. Would like to beat either one. Bama owes each from recent CFP losses.

We owe both of them, so don’t care. I do think we match up better with OSU this year.

To be the man you have to beat the man. Clemson is the man right now.

Ohio St would be an easier matchup but I want Clemson because Ohio st doesn’t belong in the playoffs.

At least Clemson played a semi decent schedule. Ohio State has been given a free pass with six games vs garbage teams. Ohio State does not deserve a seat at the table.

Bring on Clemson.

What is the playoff record between Clemson and Bama right now ? A win vs Clemson helps the overall dominance of the Bama dynasty since Clemson is having a good run themselves.

I had an awfully vivid dream last night that we played Clemson and it was much like the last time we played them.. Couldn't go back to sleep after I woke up from it. Ugh. We need a reckoning so I won't have anymore dreams like that.
