Outcome
22 to win 20
Clemson is one of the bigger consensus bowl plays this year. They have the Best player in SPiller. They have fared well against one dimensional offenses. They have auxiliary players at wide out whom can score from anywhere on the field. I like them here.
The argument can be made that Randall Cobb is Spiller's match. He has TD's rushing, receiving and on returns. He has not gotten any support from his teammates. Including the 3 QB's they have played, no one has more than 6 TD's this year. Hartline, today's probable starter, has not played since 10/10-09. Just too much to put on Cobb.
Both these teams play in big conferences. Clemson has made the adjustments and played with teams like Kentucky. I see them running away here.
