Round 1 Ohio State > Tennessee Texas > Clemson Notre Dame > Indiana Penn State > SMU Those are my thoughts. I think there will be some really good games in here. OSU great defense. 4 points away from undefeated. Tennessee has hammered teams, winning four games by 40+ with an explosive offense. I've got Ohio State here. Texas has two of the best QBs in the NCAA. They've been handled by Georgia twice, but they were up to the task in the second showdown. They're a damn good team. Clemson's D is going to be tested. They've been too porous, giving up 30+ points five times. Texas takes this one. Notre Dame is 1 point away from undefeated. Their defense has been excellent, and their offense has really figured things out. Caveat: their kicker is injured, and he has struggled mightily. Indiana has a big time passing game, and they've rolled up 40+ points 8 times this season. Their only loss is to a very good Ohio State team. Irish win a shootout. Penn State's losses have come against Oregon and Ohio State. They've beaten no one else except for Illinois. They're a good but not great team. SMU's losses were to BYU and Clemson. The offense couldn't get going against BYU, marking the only time they scored less than 28 points. This could be the best game of the bunch.
