I am not. I think it is not a good matchup for us and I think it was done on purpose so we dont get a "home" game in Dallas.

But we have some motivation here with what happened last year.

Playing Clemson will be less physically punishing than Bama. We need to be injury-free going into the championship game.

Well, I'm going all pragmatic in saying the way the team responded after tanking it against Texas, just glad we're invited to the dance at all.

This is just great.
Clemson will be tough for sure.
If it's any consolation we're a 2.5 point favorite already.

Boomer!

One of the Negatives mentioned about OUr Ranking was, as feared, that we Swept OUr last 3 Opponents against Back-Up QBs...:(

#4 is a favorite over #1? That will really make the Clemson guys fired up for the HOME game.

I love where we are. I hope OUr guys feel slighted for the next month. 2015 is the year of redemption. Clemson is the last of the payback tour before, hopefully, a NC game for the ages between two of the most storied programs in history. Yeah, I'm pulling for Bama in the other bracket.

Yep, that's the dream scenario. Clemson then Bama.

We navigate through that two game 'season', then we'll be freakin' out that Stoops might retire...it never ends!:eek:

I also think not playing an extra game is seen as a benefit. 12 games versus 13 games that the other playoff teams had to play is meaningful. One less game not to be concerned with injuries is a big advantage for OU. And everytime you go out on the field you stand the chance of losing. It's always going to be more difficult than it should be as long as the Big 12 has no CCG. But this year, I'm glad we didn't have to play 13 games to make the playoffs. I'm okay with our draw. None of these guys are going to a cakewalk.
