Misconceptions
I have watched hours upon hours of preview shows for the College Football Playoffs and I have noticed so many misconceptions about these four teams.
I keep hearing about how the Orange Bowl will feature two finesse, pass oriented teams while the Cotton Bowl will feature two great defenses and two running teams.
Most feel Michigan State is more dependent on the run. Most feel Alabama is the best rushing team. The statistics just don't back up those stereotypes. Oklahoma and Clemson are the top two rushing teams in the playoffs. Oklahoma is 15th in the nation running the ball with a 235-yard average.
