College Football Playoff open thread

I’ve been out of town but the blog will resume regular programming soon, beginning with a preview of the absolutely justifiably ignored App State basketball team. In the meantime, we have the last big college football Saturday of the season.

Not sure that Oklahoma is capable of hanging with LSU for four quarters, but Clemson-Ohio State has some big potential tonight. And I’m really conflicted by that game because on the one hand I definitely want Clemson to lose, but on the other, ugh, Ohio State.
