Ryan and Clinton return to recap last week's semifinal action and briefly discuss the war of words that will commence over the next week with a certified PLYON BOWL for all the marbles.

On Thursday, Notre Dame looked dead in the water for a half against Penn State in the Orange Bowl. But the Irish were able to keep their footing, rebound, and hold off the Lions in and back-and-forth fourth quarter the ended with a Mitch Jeter game-winning field goal with 8 seconds remaining. What's the vibe around the Irish, and how does Penn State process another loss to a top-5 team?

In Friday's Cotton Bowl, regular-season Ohio State made another appearance with penalties and mental errors hampering them against Texas. But the Buckeyes' defense held strong once again, with a goal line stand for the ages capped by Jack Sawyer's strip sack to scoop 'n' score that sealed a 28-14 win and booked a return to the national title game for the first time in four years.
