2014 NCAA Football

That was the 4th rushing TD scored against Bama this year. Right by the new OSU center. Replacing people works well for OSU offense evidently.

'Bama is gonna have to do a better job than they are now if they intend to win... OSU is handling them pretty well right now...

[phan52]

Yeah, in retrospect I kinda wish they were playing right now instead of OSU.

So does Alabama!

Never in my life would I think I would be cheering for Urban Myer and Ohio State, but I love to see Saban with the sourpuss.

Real hard for me to root for any team coached by either one of those guys. Did you see Urb's act after there was no roughing call (just the 5-yard running into the punter)? Ridiculous.

[teamroper60]

And suddenly, OSU and (after today) the B1G are relevant again........

[teamroper60]

3 Ohio State is gonna lose. Remember BAMA beat all these teams and broke their year. The Emotional states went down. Its a carnage of previous Bama wins.

Still so confident??

Until the bitter end. Could I be otherwise and a fanatic at the same time?

One thing is for sure. Whichever team comes out of this bracket had better step up because Oregon is fielding the best team I have ever seen them bring out.

[phan52]

Big 10 vs. Pac 12.

Bye, bye SEC.

Big 10 represented today.

I agree with this but also have to say, I think OSU is better than FSU was.   I will be real surprised if Oregon can hang that many on OSU.

BTW, let me say, at the start of this season and for most of it, I said the B1G wasn't up to snuff.   I was clearly wrong and am happy to admit it because I think it is good for college football on the whole that the B1G is back..

[Golfingdad]

I'll admit my error in thinking, Ohio State is for real. Looks like Fl St were the posers in the final 4 this year. I think everyone knew it but can't blame the committee for selecting the only undefeated team for the top 4. TCU just got unlucky with how it all shook out. Based on today, I'll pick Oregon to cover whatever the spread might be over Ohio State (probably 5 or so).

Or Oregon is just that good.

[trickyputt]

Damn. Good game though. OSU earned the win. I will be pulling for them in the Championship.

[ditchparrot19]

Cool – a traditional Rose Bowl matchup in the first-ever playoff finale. Just wish we didn't have to wait 11 days.

My alma mater OHIO STATE BUCKEYES win again and knock out #1 Bama! Buckeyes in the National Championship!!!

Now that was one heck off a game. Hats off to Alabama. Hats off to the refs for calling a pretty light game. I think there was maybe 2-3 penalties on each team. No holding calls at all. It really let the game play out between the teams. Oh, just because. SEC West is 2-5, with the top 5 teams in that division losing. :-D I am seriously impressed with Jones as a QB. Maybe not the best tonight, but stepped up when it mattered. The key stat is winning the turnover battle and rushing for 280 yards. Nearly 200 yards more than Alabama's average. If OSU can run the ball against Oregon they have a good shot. I don't think OSU can win a passing shoot out. If they can control the line and run the ball, and win the turnover battle I think OSU has enough to beat Oregon.

Yeah, this was shocking to me. I don't know how much PAC-12 you watched this year but those guys were flag happy all season. Somebody must've had a chat with them prior to this game because you are right ... They called it well and they let them play for the most part. Really fun game to watch for those of us with no skin in the game. You must've been dying.
