Read below for my thoughts on the CFP first round.
Let’s dive into the questions and predictions below.
1. Which player will have the MOST PASSING YARDS?
Quinn Ewers, Will Howard, Kurtis Rourke, Cade Klubnik
I’m not sure what to expect of Howard and the OSU offense after that Michigan debacle, and in Indiana’s only ranked matchup of the season, Rourke threw for 68 yards against the Buckeyes. Both Clemson and Texas air it out with their QBs, Klubnik and Ewers, respectively, but the Longhorns have a slightly more balanced attack. Count on the Tigers trying to keep up with Texas through the air.
Prediction: Cade Klubnik
2. Order the teams by who will have the MOST POINTS SCORED (highest to lowest):
SMU, Penn State, Clemson, Texas
James Franklin is bad as an underdog — but he’s great as a favorite. Well, his Nittany Lions are favored by more than a touchdown against the Mustangs. I’m going to lean on his track record against perceived lesser team. As for Clemson-Texas, I don’t trust the Longhorns with all my heart, but I just don’t think the Tigers are good enough to go on the road and beat them.
Prediction: Texas, Penn State, Clemson, SMU
3. Which team will have the MOST RUSHING YARDS?
Tennessee, Notre Dame, Penn State, Ohio State
Tennessee has over 200 more rushing attempts than passing attempts this season. It has the fifth-most rushing attempts in college football (545) and has had a 100-yard rusher in every game this season outside of two (one was a 56-0 blowout over UTEP).
Prediction: Tennessee
4. Which QB will have TWO or more PASSING TOUCHDOWNS?
Drew Allar, Kevin Jennings, Nico Iamaleava, None
None of these three is a TD-passing machine. Only once did Iamaleava have two or more passing TDs against a ranked opponent this season (vs. then-No. 24 NC State on Sept. 7). Allar threw three against No. 1 Oregon in the Big Ten title game. Jennings did pull it off twice though, throwing two TDs against then-No. 18 Pitt on Nov. 2 and throwing three against then-No. 17 Clemson in the ACC Championship.
Prediction: Kevin Jennings
5. Order the players by who will have the MOST RECEIVING YARDS (highest to lowest):
Jeremiah Smith, Antonio Williams, Elijah Sarratt, Tyler Warren
Is OSU gonna throw the ball? Smith only has eight catches and 69 yards in the past two weeks. I’m not convinced Indiana can do much against the stiffest competition, so that will impact Sarratt. In the end, I like Warren’s circumstances the best: at home, against an SMU defense that gave up 262 receiving yards and four receiving scores its last time on the field.
Prediction: Warren, Smith, Williams, Sarratt
6. What will be the outcome of this game?
Tennessee win or lose by 7 points or fewer OR Ohio State win by 8 points or more
What is Ohio State mentally right now? It lost to its rival, and now it is in this tournament? Is Ryan Day coaching for his job? If the Buckeyes have one three-and-out to start the game, the crowd is gonna boo them. It’s gonna be a hostile home environment. But Tennessee is very up and down. If the Volunteers play their best, they can totally win this game.
Prediction: Tennessee win or lose by 7 points or fewer
Tiebreaker: What will be the final score?
Prediction: Ohio State 24, Tennessee 21
