Here are the SOS rankings. Obviously, Clemson is hard to analyze.
Ohio St: 9th/130
LSU: 29th/130
Clemson: 80th/130
In sum, my final picks are...
Ohio St. over Clemson - I'll say Ohio St. narrowly. Toughest pick for me. It's always hard to pick against Dabo and Lawrence in any big game. Clemson has not played anyone significant, so they are especially difficult to analyze. My gut feeling is this Clemson team is not quite on par with last year's squad, and the opposition this year is better.
LSU over Oklahoma - I'll say LSU by two TD's. Oklahoma just isn't in the same league as the other teams in the field.
Ohio St. over LSU for the title in a hard fought game. That OSU defense is vastly better than LSU's. I think the best two teams already met in the semifinal.
