Urban Meyer is the man. I have to hand it to him. Being a Gator myself I have seen the magic before and I think Oregon will have their hands full.

Kinda think they waited too long to play this game. Almost feels like the championship already happened, and depending on who you ask, Oregon or OSU won!

I agree, it should have been a week between games. But I think they wanted to avoid a Thursday-night championship on January 8th, because that's just weird, and they were kind of stuck by tradition to have the semi-final bowl games on January 1st.

At the same time, I think having just a little more than a week is actually perfect. Enough time to practice but also recover, after having previously gone, what, three weeks in-between games?

Tonight's the night. Hope this one is good. I really think Oregon is going to dominate, but I'd be happy to be surprised.

The suspense is killing me.

A little over an hour until kickoff - I think I'll head home early today.

Excited. Great matchup. Can't wait. Can't believe it's almost here. The wait between the 1st and the 12th was too long, this game should have happened on the 10th.


I think the Ducks match up too well against Ohio State. If Oregon keeps turnovers in check (1 or less) they win IMO.

I think it's very difficult to predict who'll win.

Oregon v FSU was pretty close until FSU started their fumble-fest during the 3rd quarter. All those turnovers make it impossible to judge Oregon, especially for those of us on the east coast. We just haven't seen them play much.

Urbie's a good coach, but his realm is offense. It'll be interesting to see what the OSU DC comes up with for a game plan.

To anyone watching the pregame on ESPN in HD: do you have black bars on the sides of the actual video (not the bottom ticker)? First time I've noticed this. It's happening on all of my TVs and all of my settings are correct.

Thats how it is with Oregon. Teams hang in for a bit and then you look up at the scoreboard and they are up 21. They capitalize on mistakes really fast.

Oregon is kill themselves here. Two third down wide open drops. They have some nerves or something. OSU is really fighting to stay in this one, which is a good thing for us fans of football.

And, wow, Jones has an arm on him. These deep passes look like they take so little effort on his part. The arm strength!

OSU had the bad nerves early against Alabama to get into the 21-6 hole, but was able to overcome it, I think Oregon has what it takes to overcome it as well, but in a game where it seems more likely to be one where the teams just trade scores getting into a hole can be bad.

Good lord, this is taking forever. Feel like they constantly stop the clock for no reason.

I like those Ducks uniforms though.

QUACK, QUACK, QUACK!

Why do the Ohio players all have Marijuana leaves on their helmets?

Who knows what will happen in the rest of the game, but I this shows the parity of the top conference in CFB.
