Chambliss ran circles around the Dawg defense Miami (FL) -3.0 vs Mississippi - There are four teams left standing and three of them didn’t even play in their conference championship games. The trend of first round byes losing continues as seven of the eight have now lost.
This game was supposed to be a powerhouse showdown between Ohio State and Georgia - teams that won three of the last four national titles. But Ole Miss upset Georgia behind a brilliant performance from QB Trinidad Chambliss who ran circles around the Georgia defense. He looked and played like a combination of Fran Tarkenton, Johnny Manziel, and Michael Vick. Georgia didn't lay a glove on Chambliss failing to come up with any sacks and just three tackles for loss.
The thought of Miami reaching the national championship game after its questionable inclusion in the College Football Playoff should make Notre Dame fans and BYU fans livid. Entering the Cotton Bowl as 9.5-point underdogs, the Canes notched the biggest point-spread upset in the 12-year history of the College Football Playoff.

The Cane DL Dominated Ohio State They did it behind a defensive line was more physical and outplayed Ohio State’s offensive line. It got consistent pressure on OSU QB Julian Sayin, sacking him five times and shutting down the run game, limiting the BuckNuts to 45 total rushing yards. So far in the playoffs, Miami’s defense has only allowed 17 points.
The defense has had to do all the work because the offense has struggled. QB Carson Beck has only thrown for 241 yards against the Aggies and Buckeyes. The Canes have only scored three offensive touchdowns in two games and only have four drives with at least 50 yards of offense.
This game will come down to whether Miami’s defense can contain Chambliss. They should, as they harassed another elusive QB in Texas A&M's Marcel Reed in the first round, sacking him seven times.
Miami will also have to make sure Beck doesn’t have one of his bonehead turnover games. He threw six interceptions in Miami's two losses, throwing just four in the other ten games. Miami's offense might not look outright good in this matchup, but it should look better than it has yet to in the Playoff. This is the worst defense it has faced thus far.
I’ll take the Canes defense to carry the day again and Beck playing just good enough to win.
Miami (FL) vs Mississippi 1st half under 24.5 - I’ll also take the first half under. The Hurricanes have been ultra-careful in the first two playoff games, Miami has hit the 1st half under in 13 of their last 14 games
I went 1-1 on Saturday to being the season total to 36-35. Texas State let up a TD with 9 seconds left in the 1st half for the loss - arrrgh
