Since there are any number of ways these matchpus could end up, and my above picks for the semifinals could be wrong, I’ll simply give what I think a fair point spread would be for each possible combination.

Washington (+6.5) vs. Clemson (-6.5)
Washington (+13) vs. Ohio State (-13)
Alabama (-3.5) vs. Clemson (+3.5)
Alabama (-1.5) vs. Ohio State (+1.5)

Remember, it’s all for fun and if you use my advice for your winning wagers, I expect a thank you tweet at the very least. If you lose, then I defer to one of Coughlin’s laws: Never show surprise, never lose your cool. Enjoy this year’s bowl season and good luck to your favorite team.
