College Football Playoff semifinal at the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl
No. 3 Ohio State (11-1, 8-1 Big Ten) vs. No. 2 Clemson (12-1, 7-1 ACC)
Dec. 31 – 7 p.m., ESPN
University of Phoenix Stadium, Glendale, Ariz.

Average Line: Ohio State, -3.5

This was the toughest game for me to decide on. These are two of the elite programs in all of college football coached by two of the best coaches in the country. Urban Meyer scares me in big games, he is the best motivator in the country in my opinion. Dabo Swiney isn’t too shabby either. When it comes down to it, Deshaun Watson is the deciding factor. Watson has that knack for making the big play and he has that elusive “clutch gene”.

Score prediction: 30-23 Clemson

Players to watch:

Deshaun Watson (QB) Clemson

Isaiah Prince (RT) Ohio State

Tyler Durbin (K) Ohio State
