I've got a HORRIBLE feeling that OSU is going to win

[belcherboy]

I hate to admit it, but I've got this TERRIBLE, vomit inducing feeling that the Buckeyes are going to win the national championship tomorrow. Hopefully someone with a horrible case of the flu gets into their locker room and passes it to the team sometime today, but barring a nasty virus, I think that Ohio State is going to be raising the crystal football tomorrow night.

So I guess I will be one of the first to congratulate the Ohio State Buckeyes on their 2015 national championship.

I really don't think it would be a huge surprise. OSU is clearly the more talented team. If both teams play their best football, I think OSU wins. Oregon maybe the better team team, but their defense is going to have to force turnovers to win. Luckily for Oregon, they are pretty good at that

Oregon is one big gimmick. You take that away and you have an average team.

I have full confidence in Urban Meyer's ability to combat that gimmick. Add in the fact that Oregon is losing players left and right.....OSU wins and wins rather easily.

Ohio State is going to be raising the crystal football tomorrow night.

Not sure whether it's relevant to your "horrible feeling", but I'm pretty sure that the crystal football is out and this is the new trophy:

Perhaps your "horrible feeling" is merely some sort of flashback to this:

What is that gimmick?

 

[Red_Alert]

This thread is null and void.

There is no longer a 'crystal football' awarded.




Edit: What TDs3nOut said.

 

[kramer1]

What is that gimmick?

Running plays on offense every 13-15 seconds. Most teams simply can't handle that pace. They run it very well, obviously. OTOH, they haven't faced athletes like Ohio State has. They haven't faced a DLine even close to what Ohio State has. I think they're in for a rude awakening.

Stop. USC has great athletes, as does FSU. They run inside zone very well. Pace is a byroduct of that success. Stop the run and Oregon is dead and pace is a non-issue. Oregon's offense is not dissimilar to OSU's, but you wouldn't call OSU a gimmick offense

No, I won't stop. And, no, USC hasn't anywhere near the talent of OSU.

FSU does...

FSU does...

As does USC, maybe not the depth, but certainly the athletes

Not agreeing with him but it doesn't matter. They didn't play USC this year

My bad, but FSU covers it anyway

 

[WhiteMamba]

Yep, we should call it off. Oregon shouldn't show up to play. They have never faced a team like Ohio out of their 60 wins the last 5 years.

Before the playoffs began, I would have told you that Alabama was the best team in college football. Alabama did nothing to change my mind. They lost a game to a very good ohio state team. If those two teams played 9 more times, I would bet that Alabama would win 8 of those games. Oregon however, did change my mind. I think Oregon will win and is the better team.

 

[ralphiewvu]

Should tOSU win, I'm sure we will pick up even more bucknut "fans" on the hoop. Brace yourselves fellow posters.

He's trying to jinx. Not going to work ya bastard.

scUM and Harbaugh suck!

I am not sure about that. OSU had 537 yards vs 407 for Bama. This wasn't a case of Bama winning everywhere, but the scoreboard
