(10) Indiana at (7) Notre Dame
I've watched the Hoosiers all season, and I still shake my head a bit at the fact they've come this far. I'm also shocked the Notre Dame team that lost at home to Northern Illinois is hosting a playoff game! There's been a lot of talk about Indiana's schedule this season, and plenty of it's warranted. What isn't discussed as often is that it's not as though Notre Dame went through a gauntlet itself. Defensively, the Hoosiers match up well, but unless they force multiple turnovers, I don't know that their offense will score enough.
The Pick: Notre Dame -7 (-110)
quote:
(11) SMU at (6) Penn State
The more I look at the matchup, the more I feel like we're going to see a shootout. In the end, I have Penn State winning, but I'm more confident in the winner needing to score at least 30 points.
The Pick: Over 53.5 (-114)
quote:
(12) Clemson at (5) Texas
This is the first-round game in which I have the least confidence. I have concerns about Quinn Ewers. Texas' run game being ineffective overall is another area that concerns me. I just don't have enough faith in the Longhorns offense to trust their ability to cover a double-digit spread.
The Pick: Clemson +11.5 (-110)
quote:
(9) Tennessee at (8) Ohio State
Call me crazy, but I don't think it's a great sign when Ohio State's athletic director is publicly asking Ohio State fans not to sell their tickets to Tennessee fans on the secondary market. I smell a rock fight coming our way. I think Ohio State wins, but I don't think either team will look great on offense or be capable of pulling away from the other.
The Pick: Under 47 (-110)

It means that is guaranteed to happen, according to them

So do I.
If QE were to get healthy over these 2 weeks and start playing like he did at the begining of the season, Texas could win it all. If the Texas offense is still a herky jerky mess, we could lose to Clemson. Only an idiot would be either way on this game.

As much as I hate it I am putting the house on Clemson. Don't understand what Texas has done at all. Clemson played USC tight which is better than anyone Texas has played. And yes we would boatrace UGA.

I think the Penn State / SMU spread is too high and that it will be a close game. I'm taking SMU to win it
