Is anyone else nervous for this game? Playing the undefeated reigning national champions is not going to be easy.

This Clemson team really hasn’t played anyone but they have dominated a lot of their games, especially towards the end of the year.

This is an offense that is stacked with one of the best quarterbacks in the country in Trevor Lawrence. They also have one of the best running backs in the country in Travis Etienne, and a great receiver in Tee Higgins.

The Ohio State defense will have its hands full but the Buckeyes have a star-studded defensive unit with guys like Chase Young, Jeffrey Okudah, Jordan Fuller, Shaun Wade, Damon Arnette, and others. I think the game will come down to Clemson’s offense versus Ohio State’s defense.

Clemson’s defense is really good too but it’s also hard to read how good they are since they haven’t played anyone. Ohio State’s D has made good teams look bad.

The Tigers’ D will have its hands full with star QB Justin Fields and his weapons but I think running back J.K. Dobbins will be the go-to man yet again, like he was against Penn State, Wisconsin, and Michigan.

I think with all the stars on each team’s offense that this will be high scoring, but Ohio State’s defense will get a late stop to win.

Prediction: Ohio State wins 34-31
