Well, from what I’ve read he runs a clean program, cares about his players, builds a tremendously positive atmosphere.  All good stuff. I like Swinney. 

So while  I could do without the “praise God” bit, I’ll take the positive. 
I also could do without players woofing, gesticulating etc after darn near every play.  In the end, to each his own.

I’ll be rooting for Clemson. Love the way Clemson plays. I also think he’s the best coach in college football

My sentiments exactly: Wazzu seems to find a way to lose to everybody but us.

Never thought I'd see the day where I actively root for LSU over a non-SEC opponent, but I will be.

So tired of Dabo's sanctimony and whining . . . but much respect for his ability to recruit and coach 'em up.

I'm also not a fan of his "praise Jesus!" routine.

Perhaps you might want to learn about the man a little before you cast aspersions about the guy and his faith. By all accounts a really good guy who has overcome a ton in his life. . . .

I have little doubt that there are many people who have had a rough upbringing...who don't feel the need to praise Jesus at every turn. Personally, I find it tacky. Then again, there's always the mute button. Which I plan to use in the future or simply change the channel.

To quote John McEnroe “ARE YOU SERIOUS?”  The level of play in the Clemson-OSU game was sky high.  For one thing – I can’t recall a game in the last couple years where I saw hitting in a college game that was as hard as it was in that game.   You had two teams evenly matched both loaded with talent. In fact I’ve heard several pro scouts say that Ohio State has the most talent in the country. OSU shot them selves in the foot a few times which obviously helped  Clemson win. 

 You had two tremendous quarterbacks – the number one and two recruits in the country two years ago by the way. The guy that generally is considered the best player in college football ( Ohio State‘s defensive lineman) speed all over the field and some truly terrific playmaking against top-flight defenses. Which when you get right down to it is what was different about that game. Both those teams not only have excellent offenses -But they also have great defenses. Which means teams had to earn their yards. Unlike LSU – which was a complete mismatch. Taking nothing away from the Tigers they are a great football team no question about it. But Oklahoma had no chance because as with essentially all big 12 teams they can’t defend.  

 I thought OSU-Clemson was one of the best College Football games I’ve seen in a long time. 

Based on what I have seen in the Clemson-Ohio State game, coupled with
the National Championship being played in New Orleans, it certainly looks
like LSU is bringing home the title this year.

Yeah, but Clemson tOSU was a better game.  Nice comeback by the Tigers.

In terms of competitiveness, the Clemson tOSU game was more competitive. But I actually enjoyed
the LSU game more because of the history we were witnessing with Burrow's performance.
I enjoyed the LSU game more, because the level of play from LSU was just fantastic.

I wasn't impressed at all by the level of play of either Clemson or tOSU.
