Ohio state has the hardest road to the natty and is making it look like a cake walk. This team when playing their best belongs in that conversation fot best team of all time. Nobody would wanna line up and play this buckeye team when clicking. Defense smothering and hitting hard all night. Offensive making you look silly no matter what you do on defense. The talent the fire the focus. 2024 buckeyes are a problem
let's hold off on the 'best of all time' conversation. they've overwhelmed 2 good teams, but remember that both teams lost their premier offensive threat during those games. plus oregon was a revenge matchup, which will play out in reverse should the bucks beat texas; nd after not just a heart breaking final second loss in south bend last yr but 6 straight losses to tosu, a feeling psu knows very well. that said, could not be happier to see the bucks clicking like this. that 1st half in pasadena was as close to perfection as i've ever seen, and i've been watching/attending games since the late 60s. perfection is very rare, and even more rarely repeated. i expect friday night to be close. IF ohio state runs the table in the playoffs, it will have done so vs #7, #1, #3 and then #4 or #5. that would be epic.
I’m shocked to hear nobody mentioned the fact that all the teams that lost yesterday were all the teams that hadn’t played in 3+ weeks! I think that’s too long of a bye for college kids
@@xtremity2361 Ohio State played on December 21 and then played on January 1. Oregon last played on December 7. I think it’s a very valid point. Clearly Oregon was very rusty.
@jeremaineperry1032 bro no not really. Osu played UM Nov 30th and UT Dec 21. That's over 3 weeks. Just bc one team wasnt ready doesn't mean you change the whole thing. Osu overcame this feat Oregon did not. Just sounds like your point is bias and is not shocking that no one else cared about that. Just saying man
As of January 2, 2025, Ryan Day, the head coach of Ohio State, has an impressive winning percentage of 87.5%. This places him among the top active head coaches in college football. Dan Lanning, the head coach of Oregon, has a winning percentage of 81.5%.
Everybody is gonna anxiously wait and see how Gunner Stockton performs tonight assuming Georgia can beat Notre Dame. If Georgia can get past ND and PSU, they’re the only ones that stand a chance beating Ohio state based on coaching and being able to match talent levels
@@Jonmt155we have talent but idk I feel sark’s coaching and play calling has been questionable. We do great in the first half but for some reason lose momentum in the 3rd quarter to the point we always have to rely on our defense to make big stops in the 4th. There’s no reason any team we played against should have had over 20 points. If we can’t get it together we’re getting smoked like Texas bbq
@Jonmt155 Texas has talent, but they aren't beating Ohio State. The Buckeyes are more talented and their ceiling is higher, and they are the team more likely to reach their ceiling. We've seen Texas against Georgia twice this season and it was bad the first time, then inexcusable the second. We saw them let Clemson back into the game, and we saw them give up the whole lead against ASU before rallying on a 4th and 13 pass to avoid losing entirely. OSU when locked in will not give those opportunities.
Ohio state got gifted a touchdown on their 1st drive in Eugene. Reminder when the Ducks got an INT and the refs didn't call it. Even with that, plus Oregon missing a FG, the ducks still won. OSU didn't play their best game. Flip to the Rose Bowl, Oregon played their worst game of the season. I'd love to see them play one more time. I think OSU losing to Michigan was at their benefit (at least Oregons) because they only played each other twice. I don't think OSU would want to play the Ducks a 3rd time...
I've said all year that Texas was over hyped. They had a very easy SEC schedule and it has shown up against Clemson and Arizona State. We also have learned that a bye week really means weeks and that might not be the best thing. Looking like Ohio state is the team to beat. Go Dawgs
The team is 12-2 now (only losses against #3 Georgia) and the team has 2 playoff wins. When are we gonna stop calling a team overrated lol. They are underdogs against OSU as they should be
Agree, each game is different and poses a slew of variables to overcome. I hope the Buckeyes keep the momentum rolling but Texas is coming to win & the last thing I’d call UT is “overrated.”
texas ended the season with the season adjusted 15th toughest schedule in the nation out of 134 schedules. the trope your carrying is all lies. google it. --in week 2, Texas decisively beat an 8-5 Michigan that was ranked 9th in the nation at the time. Texas went on to beat all of their SEC opponents but GA. Those SEC teams have all-with the exception of miss state and kentucky-ended the season with 6+ wins each and a bowl game. then texas beat clemson and a 14th ranked ASU. What more do you want????! 15th toughest SOS in the nation, season adjusted. Texas played a hard schedule. harder than 119 other teams’ schedule.

Maybe we'll get lucky like 05 texas vs USC and someone will knock off OSU in the title game. That team looks unbeatable right now. Last time I personally said that was 05 usc with Bush and leinhart
it wasn’t targeting. it was “incidental contact” that didn’t involve the crown of the helmet. on the other hand, ASU clearly violated FBS NCAA RULE 9-3-2B: a player can not grasp, pull or lift the ball carrier to assist in forward progress. the ASU lineman lifted skattebo over the goal line in the most flagrant and clear violation of that rule in football history. that ASU td gets called back in a fair world.
This it what happens when you don't play for a month while the other teams already have a game under their belt. Oregon looked rusty and not ready to play. I rather be a 5-8 seed than a top 4 seed with a bye.
@@JC-jo9bfNo. it’s been statistically studied and proven that tackling skill falls off dramatically with byes and over time. tackling has to be constantly practiced. coaches usually don’t do it during those bye week practices to avoid injury. but “thudding” as the practice technique is called, doesn’t accurately duplicate all the tackling skill. Saban was just talking about it at length on CFB GAMEDAY last week.
Last I checked Ohio State came off of a loss to Michigan on November 30th and didn't play again until December 21st and still dominated Tennessee, it just depends on if the coach knows how to use the bye right.
It wasn't the byes it was the seedings. Everyone knows OSU was the second best team all year with PSU and ND right behind them. Oregon ran into a pissed off OSU but put Texas or ASU against them and Oregon wins. I don't have a problem with conference champs getting in but getting a top4 seed needs to be changed.
Oh, please. Just admit ASU rose to the occasion and dominated Texas statistically and personal. Yes, they lost. The score proves Texas won. But, Texas with all the talent 3 to 4 deep was equaled. Don’t say a Texas played sloppy, they were outplayed by character and talent. You disrespect the team who achieved the highest honor over coming a galieth. Which is what is we all hope we can achieve.
LOL, nah, Oregon was undefeated, and they won their conference. Oregon earned that. Ohio State came out differently in the playoffs. They weren't playing like that before.
@michaeljohnson7937 they literally were. The rivalry game with michigan took them backwards. For the majority of the season they have been scoring high points on their opponents. Beat 3 rank teams.
Do not underestimate Texas. They have an outstanding Defense and Speed abounds . This will be a fantastic game. I have it even; it might come down to a little luck and/or coaching.
@@Onetime614unfortunately it also comes down to whether Quinn can not drop down into the 40%’s in passing accuracy under extreme duress, since OSU has the best defense in the nation according to FBS NCAA rankings. (texas is third). Quinn’s accuracy goes from 68+% to under 48+% under stress. If they can sack slippery dillon gabriel 8 times, how will less slippery Quinn hold up? With Kelvin Banks limping around last night. that’s my biggest concern in the game.
Quin is gonna be running for his life and making mistakes. Texas defense is greatly over rated everybody has eaten against them with a pulse. Ohio state will probably make this game look alot like the Tennessee game. Arch will be in by the 3rd and even he won't do much of anything.

As a Michigan fan its gonna suck to watch Ohio win the natty but i can take some comfort that ours was a true natty(15-0) and Ohio benfited from the new format to get in. And every time Ohio fans think about this title they will also think about us beating them in the shoe😊
