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

Weren't they undefeated a year (or two) ago, but were ineligible? I think it was Meyer's first year.

Pretty crazy how Ohio State manages to stay atop CFB all the time.

 

quoting for shock value.

 

don't bet against meyer as an underdog. he's like the belichick of college football

 

imagine if buckeyes didnt have 4 turnovers....this would be a route

 

This is not a route? 42-20

 

yep. i know oregon didn't have their best players but i don't know if it would have made a difference. zeke and the coaching disparity was just too much.

 

They get ALL the best players from Ohio, plus a few good ones from out of state too. Almost no competition from other schools for Ohio players. They got a unique set of circumstances there.

 

Oh! Come let's sing Ohio's praise,
And songs to Alma Mater raise;
While our hearts rebounding thrill,
With joy which death alone can still.
Summer's heat or Winter's cold,
The seasons pass, the years will roll;
Time and change will surely show
How firm thy friendship O-hi-o.

These jolly days of priceless worth,
By far the gladdest days of earth,
Soon will pass and we not know,
How dearly we love O-hi-o.
We should strive to keep the name,
Of fair repute and spotless fame,
So, in college halls we'll grow,
To love thee better, O-hi-o.

Tho' age may dim our mem'ry's store,
We'll think of happy days of yore,
True to friend and frank to foe,
As sturdy sons of O-hi-o.
If on seas of care we roll,
'Neath blackened sky, o'er barren shoal,
Tho'ts of thee bid darkness go,
Dear Alma Mater O-hi-o.

 

You know espn has to go to Lebron.

 

Mariota is gonna fall in the draft, i can feel it

 

IMO, game would have been a contest for sure. One thing that bugs me is why Royce Freeman disappeared. Regardless, Ohio State is clearly the best team in college football. I'm no Ohio State fan but this squad is incredible. The thought every one of their key players returns is crazy.

I imagine Braxton Miller will announce where he's going in a few days.

 

NFL is completely different, who knows.

 

You think? OSU owned the line both ways, seems to me. He wasn't that bad at all -- not sure what he could have done.

 

Skinny knees.

 

Agreed. He didn't play up to his usual talents, but he wasn't terrible either.

 

lulz

oregon defense forced 4 turnovers... and the heisman winner could do nothing... he cant connect with guys that are covered they have to wide open... cardele jones impressed me more than mariota

 

OSU is a tough, hard nosed, gritty team. They earned it.

 

Yup, Mariota is a system QB...great athlete though, but his talents won't get him anywhere in the NFL as a QB.
