[Husker] Why is Clemson favored?

[Skylar Dodds]

True, to some extent.  FSU, Cal, Miami, Wiscy (although a bad version of
themselves), NC State, BYU, Arizona.  Not the best teams in the country, but
most of those teams are top half of their respective conferences.

Now compare their QBs to NU, MU, OSU, KU.  I don't even need to touch OU, UT
and TT that have the three best QBs in the country, IMO. Plus, I'm adding in
some earlier games from this year I've watched, UF vs AL, LSU vs AL, etc.
etc.

Well, to be fair, the bowls up to this point involved the "also rans"
of their respective conferences. There is a reason these teams have
played their bowls already. :)

Tomorrow starts some of the better teams (Okie State, for one) and
we'll see if the teams from the other conferences play any better.
They may not. :)
