As we get ready for the 2015 Orange Bowl, let’s take a look at 5 reason that Clemson football will beat the Oklahoma Sooners on Thursday.

As we get ready for the 2015 Orange Bowl, all you can hear from the mainstream media is how Clemson football has a very little chance of beating the “Hottest team in America.” The Tigers come into this game as 3.5-point underdog to the Oklahoma Sooners, a team Clemson football beat 40-6 last season.

Well, I’m here to tell you that the Tigers and Sooners are very much alike, but ESPN does not tend to agree with me.

According to ESPN’s Football Power Index, Clemson football has a 37% percent chance of winning the Orange Bowl, while Oklahoma has a 63% chance. Is it really that much of a talent gap?

There is no doubt the Sooners are a very good team, but let’s take a look at 5 reasons Clemson football will beat Oklahoma on Thursday night.
