With Utah out is the coveted 1 spot really that important?

If OU wins tomorrow they're probably as dangerous as anyone and much more of a threat than Utah

Everyone on the planet knew this before the Utah game which makes you wonder why they were ahead of OU in the first place

It's less important I would agree, but I think I would take OU over Clemson. I think Clemson's linemen are superior to OU.

It was never going to be Utah if OU wins

Utah is a better matchup for us than OU for sure. But Clemson has offensive firepower of their own to go with a good defense. I think we'd get off to a better start against OU than Clemson and it would be like the Florida/Bama/Texas games where we just pull away at the end. Clemson is the much tougher matchup so it's still important imo.


But you are right, playing OU isnt as big of an advantage as playing Utah so it does lose a bit of its meaning.

Hell yes, the match up is just the icing on the cake, it's about RESPECT. It's about beating the juggernaut bama, it's about scheduling a non conference opponent that isn't a gimme, it's about hearing the strengths of your opponents before every saturday, and coming out victorious, ie. UT is back, Bama is unstoppable, florida is dbu, look what A&M did to us last year, blah blah fing blah.

R E S P E C T

that's what the #1 slot says, Burrow, Alexander, CEH, the trenches, the receivers, the offense, the defense (some of you mofo's owe Aranda an apology), the coaches, they earned it.

Anyone who doesn't think so can meet me at culvers. (we don't have sonic up here)

Baylor could be number 4. Think about that for a minute.

Given our D’s struggles with a mobile QB this year, Jalen Hurts’ legs definitely more of a challenge than Utah.

OU can't win in the playoffs.

LSU wants OU, not Clemson.

You 100% want OSU to play Clemson first.

I may be the only one, but as bad as OUs defense is, I thing they are a worse matchup for LSU than clemson.

Hurts is the kind of QB that gives this LSU defense fits and I could see LSU being in a shootout vs OU and it’s nit impossible to lose that kind of game.

Clemson is more traditional and that is an easier matchup for our defense.

I think the reason the #1 spot was coveted was to avoid Clemson, not to avoid Utah. So I don't think the Utah loss affects that at all personally.

Utah had about as much business being #5 as tOSU has at being #1. Looked like they belonged in the former Division II ranks

OU is more tested than Clemson. Now watch for OSU vs Clemson.

Clemson is 11 points better than Oklahoma. Big difference.

Clemson would skull drag Baylor or OU.

The 1 seed is glorified bye week and the 2 seed is essentially another national title game. It matters.

I’d love to see Clemson and Ohio State beat the hell out of each other
