Here's five thirty-eight's take on the probabilities, based on its model:
Code:
TEAM Final Championship
Oklahoma 66% 41%
Alabama 68% 34%
Clemson 34% 15%
Michigan St. 32% 10%
No love for Clemson or Michigan State -- both are two-to-one underdogs. I dunno. I think it will be Clemson vs. Alabama in the final. I think Clemson has played a tougher schedule than Oklahoma, plus having no losses.
