Just looking at basic team stats, this seems like a pretty even matchup. Would that be correct?

Really hope that Ohio State drained too much from the emotional well in that Clemson game and I hope our guys are ready to avenge our performance in 2018.

I agree, and this should be a legitimate intangible factor.

It was clear that Ohio State had revenge in mind and spent a lot of time preparing for Clemson.

It was also a very physical ball game.

At the end of the day none of this may matter, but historically it's really hard to duplicate these performances back-to-back.

I'm really hoping that the 2018-19 CFP is an analogue here - Clemson smashed Notre Dame in the semifinals that year and cruised into the championship game rested and prepared.
