Offense is always the "sexy" pick. People love high scoring games, and when a team scores a lot of points they seem unstoppable. History shows that typically they are stopped and defense wins championships.
However, that is the rule, and there are always exceptions to a rule. Oklahoma could win the championship. If I had to put my house on it, though, I would probably go with a team with a good offense and an excellent defense. In the absence of a great defense, though, who knows?
Georgia struggles with the pass at times. Alabama struggles on offense at times. Clemson doesn't seem to be as strong as they have been the past several years. Oklahoma struggles on defense.
All four teams are strong. All four teams have flaws.

Oklahoma has got a decent chance, they've got an experienced seasoned QB, athletes that are capable of making plays, good coaching, and other intangibles that help.
These playoffs are anyone's game if ya ask me and anyone one of these teams could pull it off. With Bama offensive woes, and their refusal to run, especially #34 15+ times game! I'd maybe have Bama with the least chance to win it all, but if Bama makes the right changes, gets healthier, Bama could pull it off.

When it comes to Oklahoma, it's really not complicated. If you can put pressure (pass rush) on Mayfield, you can beat them. If you can't, you won't..it's that simple.

Dang straws, you truly are a pussy, aren't you? Grow the frick up, your shite team sucked this year but that's no excuse going around being a triggered idiot.

Everything you stated was correct. They won't understand or admit it though.

Great overall post!
This last statement is especially true. I just hope we don't see terrible blow outs like we have in the past Mich State v Alabama or Clemson v Ohio State.
Last year, did anyone think Washington had a shot? I can honestly say this year every team looks to have a shot.
Hoping for a great series of games.

You agree with Straws?

Mayfield excels under pressure. That's when he's at his best. Pressure isn't how you beat Baker Mayfield at all. That's how he beats you.

You guys are killin' me by saying this because it's ignoring the obvious problem.
Georgia didn't do shite for a whole 3 quarters -- the game was 7 - 13.
The missed production from Kerryon absolutely would have improved Auburn's odds in the first three quarters.
There was no scheme change! Auburn moved the ball and couldn't punch it into the end zone because their best goddamn player was hurt.
frick you guys are so delusional. 13 - 7 going into the fourth quarter and you think KB doesn't change any point of the game from TOP, First Downs and the general flow of their offense.
I watched tape of both Auburn/Georgia games a couple of days ago and this is what I saw too. Kerryon wasn't anywhere close to 100% and couldn't even put his arms at his sides. Nobody that came in in relief of Kerryon was anywhere close to his level.
I also noticed that towards the end of the 3rd QTR and all of the 4th, Stidham was throwing 1-hoppers into the ground while under pressure which destroyed any chance of them moving the ball with Kerryon out of the game.
ETA: I also noticed that whomever #23 is on Auburn's team, that damn kid is a baller.

Dude, why don’t you just blow Baker, or have you already? He could have fire balls raining down from the sky on him & you’d say “Oh, Baker thrives in a fireball storm. He’ll evade the fireballs. Fire can’t beat Baker, he beats fire.”

This is just a stupid statement. If he is getting sacked he isn't efficient. No doubt he is good, but they can be beaten. The formula to that is sustainable long drives and getting Oklahoma to punt 2 times. If that happens UGA wins.

Hell hes 100% correct. You can put all the emoticons you want to be t you know it too

Nope.
You mindless dolts act like you're the first person to ever think about "getting pressure on Mayfield" and "sacking him".
If you haven't watched any tape at all on him, just say you haven't watched any tape. Do what you have to do, just stop saying dumb shite.

I've seen every game. If they get pressure on him and actually lay hands on him it stops his efficiency. Stop acting like he is untouchable. You lost to Iowa State. If you think there is absolutely nothing UGA can do you are being a massive homer. Everyone here has given credit to Mayfield for being a good player. Stop being so offended when the formula to succeed against Okie offends you.

That being said, Oklahoma’s offense is without a doubt the most dominant asset any playoff team has this year and it’s not even close. They have the ability to shred any one of the defenses in the final 4 and I think they will.
It could happen as you suggest but if Georgia sustains long drives with their running game and timely passing, the OU defense will be worn out at the end of the game and UGA will be able score when they need to win the game. Meanwhile OU will likely score with big pass plays and our defense will not be on the field as much as theirs. As such, I like our chances at the end of the game.

Hahahahaha......you clearly haven't. Only one of us here has seen every game and that's me. If you had "seen every game" you'd know he has an NFL Oline and you wouldn't be jibber-jabbering like Georgia is just going to be in the backfield all day long. They won't.

There is a way to beat Baker, and it's not blitzing him or trying to "get pressure". Georgia will stop blitzing by the end of the 1st QTR I assure you. If you had truly watched "every game" then you'd know that he welcomes blitzes and does most of his damage when that happens.
You beat Baker by frustrating him. You frustrate him by taking away all of his options downfield when he's scrambling away from your shitty "pressure". I don't think Georgia can do that. They love to blitz their LBers and that's what they'll do.

Stupid comment, never said UGA would live in the backfield.

Stupid comment 2, we lost on the last play of the game.

Stupid comment 3, you have no idea about the fundamentals of football. If you think the only way to beat Okie is by frustrating Mayfield you are plain stupid.I said nothing about blitz I said pressure, there is a difference.
