Think it comes down to Alabama/FSU.
Alabama.
Alabama beats Ohio State, they will be hard to beat in the NC game, regardless of the opponent. Alabama and quality depth, some things never change.
Alabama video that I have watched, remind me of a young Seattle Seahawks team.
Opening lines, 2 weeks ago on the Final Four.
According to the Las Vegas Superbook, the Alabama Crimson Tide and Oregon Ducks will be heavy favorites. Alabama is a 9.5-point favorite over Ohio State, while the Ducks are favored by 8.5 over Florida State — making Florida State an underdog for the first time in fifty games.
There will be an even fan crowd at the Sugar Bowl.
My concern "football wise" for FSU is the Rose Bowl will definitely favor Oregon/West Coast fan involvement.
