Clemson at Syracuse

Ohio State got all the preseason billing as the odds-on favorite to repeat as National Champions, but the Buckeyes have to this point been up-staged by the Clemson Tigers. Clemson took out Florida State, which looks to be their biggest obstacle on the path to the Final Four, and retained their #1 position in the CFP. There is no point dabbling in all the facts surrounding this game, as Clemson is a country mile from where the struggling Syracuse team is right now. Clemson has nothing to gain here, as they are expected to win easily. But with the #1 rating at stake, don't be surprised to see a total domination by Clemson as anything less will only serve to stimulate doubters. Syracuse is just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 after allowing more than 450 yards in their previous game, and will give up a whole lot more than that in this one. The rout is on, so make the play on Clemson.
