2015 CFP National Championship: (2)Oregon vs. (4)Ohio State

I think Oregon takes this but you never know...

 

Wow - two great games !!!

And so glad to see Bama slipping up.

TCU clearly got screwed, they were as good or better than every team except perhaps Oregon.

Realistically...they probably were. However, they lost to Baylor. Baylor was more deserving, and that was reflected when they were put at 5 and TCU at 6. Baylor was the team that should have gone from the Big 12, if one was to be put in.

As for the game...I think I'm leaning Oregon. It'll be close, but hard to pick against Mariota.

 

I disagree about Baylor they barely beat TCU in OT, and their defense was crap.

But both got screwed in the end, I do agree about Oregon - I think they are the team this year.

Hopefully the Texans can get Mariota.

Once again...realistically you are probably correct. I'd say TCU beats Baylor 7-8 times out of 10. However...results have to matter, and similar 11-1 records in the same conference with a head to head win gave Baylor the nod, and rightfully so.

 

Oregon has tons of speed, but OSU is tough and resilient. It's a toss up. I will root for OSU.

 

After Ohio State's domination today, it's hard to pick against them. They are nasty. If Cardale Jones doesn't turn the ball over and make bad decisions, OSU has a great chance.

All year Oregon's D has demonstrated the ability to jam the line of scrimmage in short yardage and red zone situations. They will need to continue that.

If Mariota is on his game, Oregon will be very tough to beat. If he misses throws, they will lose.

My early gut feeling is Ohio State.

 

That game never went into OT and Baylor lead the conference in every major defensive category, if I'm not mistaken.

 

Sucks that OSU crushed my Badgers last game, but still pulling for Big Ten. :grin

Sick and tired of hearing SEC all the time. Frankly, they suck this year.

 

OSU must play bigger and stronger on line of scrimmage. They seem capable.
If they do, they win. If not, Oregon will tear it up.

 

Actually only in rushing defense but Baylor's d was not anything near terrible. 4th in passing defense, 4th in scoring defense and 4th in total defense in the conference.

Back on topic, I think Oregon wins a shootout. The Big 10 looked great the last two days, beating the Sec conf champ and the real Big 12 conf champ (and Auburn)

 

Oregon's starts out as a 7 point favorite over Ohio State.

 

We got this. #GODUCKS

 

Im taking Oregon... they looked scary in the Rose Bowl. They can go on a run and completely take OSU out of it.

 

Oregon just looks really scary.

But anything can happen, when you consider it's only one game. Best two out of three? Oregon 100%.

Cardale Jones looks like a stud. Like a better version of Dak Prescott (from MSST) when Prescott was considered for the Heisman - that stretch.

 

Oregon Ducks!

Mariota is the difference. The Pac12 is the best conference this season. This is their best team.

 

All the Goodwills in Columbus are sold out of furniture in anticipation of the game.

Threat Level: Balllantine's

 

I think OSU will be aggressive and will not sit back. Disrupting the O. OSU 27 Oregon 14
