I would rather play Clemson first rather than Bama, but as I speak I see Clemson barely hanging on against SC.

I think as a #2 or #3 seed we are protected to play in Dallas.
I'm thinking that's better than playing in Miami
Clemson could lose to N. Carolina. So we could stilll end up playing Bama as 4th seed. Of course in that scenario we are not a #4 seed, and would not play Bama.
We gotta go through them all.
And we must execute while doing it. I don't care who we play.
We lost a little intangible grit in the second half last week and it wasn't all TK. If we get it back today and carry it through the playoffs, it won't matter who we play. We can win them all.

It has a more complimentary context in modern times.
I'd like to play in the Cotton Bowl. We've never gotten a big postseason game on our own turf before.
The enduring image of Oklahoma was that ridiculous double–middle finger of a game-icing kick. It was probably an accident, which somehow made it more, not less, insulting. It was as though Stoops had partied so hard on the corpse of the SEC that he woke up with an unplanned tattoo.
Id like to win tonight before I worry about OUr seed.
I was talking with a Bama fan today, and he said that Oklahoma is the last team they want to play. That was interesting.
Metaphors be with you!
I think we're talking national title game.
'87/'88 - Miami in Miami and Kansas in KC
'00/'01 - FSU in Miami
'03/'04 - LSU in New Orleans
'08/09 - Florida in Miami
I'd settle for a true neutral site for a change. Then again, the USC game was a true neutral site so I guess it might be overrated.
Anyway, the football gods owe us a few homer games.
