Whats your thoughts?


All I gotta say is go ducks!

Coaching advantage goes to Urban Meyer but on the field I give a big edge to Oregon. I thinking close but ducks win by 10-17 in a game that will be much closer than the score entails

i going with the ducks. but the score will more than likely get into the 30`s each and be close. as good as both d`s are, nither can stop the run, they can slow it down but they can`t stop it. os has more to worry about aginst the passing game than just 2 people, the ducks mix it up a bunch.lol

I don't think so !!! Buckeyes going duck hunting in Jerry's World !!!! Mark my words . Urban knows how to stop mariota . It's easy . Run the ball for first downs and control the clock hike every snap under 5 sec . Keep Oregon off the field . Wear out the defense . Elliot and cardale jones , ( good luck tackling 6"5 250 ) will dominate this game . He's bigger than most linebackers . Oregon loves that quick strike offense . But they'll play a physical defense ( pressure on receivers coming off the line ) in Ohio state . It's going to be a good one for sure !!!! Sad thing is the BCS would have not let either team play . ESPN is mad . Since they can't televise an SEC team or have them win .

Maybe you're right. We'll see.

Disclaimer: I don't know any more about college football than I know about how a hydrogen bomb works. I just think both are very interesting to watch.

It will be interesting this year; the first championship game in 8 or 9 years without an SEC team. That will be mentioned a million times the week before the game, and a hundred thousand times during the game.

I'm an SEC fan myself, but I'll be watching the game for sure. Oregon and Ohio State are the 2 most deserving teams. They deserve to be playing in this game. Though I wouldn't blame TCU fans for thinking otherwise.

Since Ohio State has such a rich tradition and they've won the big game a few times in the past, I'm kinda pulling for Oregon. They got so close against Auburn a few years ago, and handled defeat well, showing sportsmanship, to everyone except Nick Fairley. :)

Ducks run a bend dont break between the 20's. Been shutting everything down in the red zone last 4 games. We have 3 goal line stands within the 3 yard line and all 3 went for touchdowns lol. (99.5, 99, 97) stanford, ucla, fsu I think.

It should be a shoot out... however I dont think you and Urban Meyer are going in woth the same game strategy vs these ducks as stanford in 2013. OSU is a spread team.mm they will stick with their game plan and try to establish running game between the tackle with Ezekiel which opens up some long low risk sideline shots for an unexperienced qb.

Ducks are a different beast than alabama this year. I had hoped to play the tide because I think Oregon matches up very very well. OSU is scary but I think the qb consistency is going to play the determining factor

Cardale jones is most surprising qb . You ask yourself who would of thought ! We both would've been sitting on sideline now watching . But we just beat the BCS and espn and their sec streak .

Cardale Jones definitely most surprising/coolest qb story. He reminded me of an extra athletic, young Ben Rothlesburger.

OSU passes the "Eye Test." Big, Fast, Strong. E. Elliot making that awesome hurdle and long run on a play that looked dead, etc..

Like TBones says, I'm glad Oregon made it in. They have been a solid program for awhile now. It feels like they have earned it. What will their uniforms look like?

Well I will be away from the forum for a few weeks while I curb my depression with a drastic binge drinking session.



See you on the other side.


Go ducks
