College Football Playoffs
First Round
#6 (10th seed) Indiana Hoosiers @ #2 (7th seed) Notre Dame Fighting Irish : Bad seeding for Indiana! While they had a chance to beat their first round opponent is the ACC or SEC Championships would have ended as expected, those upsets through the seedings into disarray, and pitted them against the highly dominant Irish squad. While Indiana will be able to keep up better than other teams, they aren't likely to emerge victorious from this. NOTRE DAME by eight
#14 (11th seed) SMU Mustangs @ #4 (6th seed) Penn State Nittany Lions : SMU struggled against Clemson's defense, and the Nittany Lions are even stiffer! Don't expect SMU to come back much in the second half as they did against Clemson, either. PENN STATE by 17
#15 (12th seed) Clemson Tigers @ #7 (5th seed) Texas Longhorns : Georgia's defense held Texas, but the Tigers don't have nearly that good a defense. Besides, they want to slaughter an opponent to wash away the sting of the SEC Championship loss. TEXAS by 18
#8 (9th seed) Tennessee Volunteers @ #3 (8th seed) Ohio State Buckeyes : Aside from the game against rival Michigan, the Buckeyes were a dominant opponent. The Wolverines upset cost them a shot at the Big Ten Championship Game, and a rematch against Oregon, so you know the Buckeyes want a shot at the National Championship Game. This is the first step. OHIO STATE by nine
