The committee is trying to set up an Ohio State vs. Clemson title game and obviously that's what will happen with those seedings.

Number 1 seed will play in Atlanta, number 2 seed will play in Arizona. You might not care about the matchup, but a lot more Tiger fans live in or will travel to Atlanta vs Arizona.

The good thing with the Championship game in NOLA, it doesn't hurt the average Tiger fan's budget like it would every other school besides Georgia (if they are the 4 seed).

I understand that sentiment.

However, there is nothing wrong with positioning yourself for the easiest path.

That’s the whole point of seedings and byes.

I.e.

Bama getting a mulligan and a bye has been the easiest path

Why do you people hang onto such irrelevant statistics?


IDK, why do people throw hissy fits over being ranked 1 or 2 in a 4 team bracket?

Using my own eye test, concussed memory recall, and distorted brain cells I seem to remember lots of times teams losing the game following being named #1.

Maybe it's just me, but it does seem like a curse/jinx often. We avoided it. Does tOSU avoid it with Meeechigan

Well it is this year as Clemson is way better than Utah Alabama or Oklahoma.
