The second is OSU scoring a touchdown, their opponent returning the conversion for two points, and then the opponent not scoring on their possession. Good luck even getting odds in Vegas on either happening. If OSU went second in OT and their opponent kicked a FG in the first possession, a TD by OSU would end the game immediately: no conversion opportunity.

By the way, I'll pick Alabama by 6. I think they'd have a tougher time against Clemson, based on last year's Playoff Final, but I think it'll be close either way. No offense to Petersen and Washington (I'm a Boise State fan.), while I chose them over Penn State for getting in, I don't think they have much of a shot vs. Alabama. They'd need Boise-style trick plays, and Alabama is not Oklahoma.

Ah, good point. Which only makes my bet even more profitable.
