College Football Playoff

[jingramm]

Gotta admit, Urban Meyer is damn good.

 

[ControlD]

Hell yes.

That Mariota stat line looks good but man it just doesn't seem like he had a good game at all.

Gotta admit, Urban Meyer is damn good.

some guys are special in that they get more than the sum of their parts out of their team. Good guys play great and great players change the game. Guy is perfect college coach to make the big 10 relevant is no small feat.

It was supposed to be next year for OSU.

With this win Meyer is gonna be on a recruiting rampage the next few years.

Which is something that Tressel never capitalized on.

 

[jingramm]

OSU did exactly what Alabama should've done when they played OSU

OSU had trouble with Alabama's run game, but they didn't take advantage, play calling sucked (no surprise it's Lane Kiffin) and this costed them the game

I dunno, Tressel was a decent recruiter. He flipped Clarett from Notre Dame. That ended up being huge. (for a year at least)

And I think Tressel's career would have played out very differently in a 4 team playoff.

So? And Alabama was playing without 2 of their 3 starting LBs and lost their team-leading tackler in the 2nd quarter, but despite that missed OT by only a couple inches. OSU is going to get killed by Oregon.

I love Oregon as a team, but that's twice I've watched them completely shit the bed in a National Championship Game. Ugh. People are going to blame the defense (and that's somewhat deserved given their complete inability to shut down Ezekiel Elliott), but they forced 4 turnovers that the Duck offense turned into 10 points... That's not going to win you many games.

Great game by Ohio State though. Elliott is such a beast.

 

[Drako]

OHIO

Woot!

 

[Drako]

Great game by Oregon.

Props to Marcus, and good luck to him in the NFL.

True, but the offense is more "sexy" now. Tressel had such a boring offense that I think a lot of players stayed away. Doesn't matter, they have the first title of the new era.

Jim "The Senator" Tressel was great while at OSU.

Urban "The Terminator" Meyer will be great at OSU.

Such a great time to be a Buckeye.

Stop the patronizing.

Oregon choked. OSU owned them straight out.

Shame it wasn't a closer game.

Will be interesting to see how much talent Harbaugh can take away from OSU in the coming years to weaken them a bit.

 

[Drako]

CAR-DALE Jones baby!

Zeeeeeeeeeke Elliot baby!

Absolutely, the plays Meyer runs would make Tressel piss himself. WAY too risky.

But for some reason Meyer has his skill players developing so well, deep into double coverage? fuck it, throw it up. Go for it on 4th at midfield? Fuck it, go for it.

 

[Childs]

OSU never lost to Oregon in football I believe.

They don't really play that much, the last time over 5 years ago, so that stat is really more of a curiosity. Oregon never really delivers in the big games, just like Oklahoma. Part of it seems to be they always look undersized. I've seen Stanford, UCLA, USC, UW and AZ play this year, and by far Oregon is the smallest team. Both title games, the other team just ran them over.

And OMG, how good is OSU gonna be next year. Their QB is gonna be a stud. They had 5 TO and it didn't even really matter. I started watching in the second quarter, and the game was never really in doubt.

LOL, patronizing? Oregon is a great team. I can't congratulate a great team?

And the closeted Michigan fan comes out. :biggrin:

Yeah, I get a definite Oklahoma vibe from them. Lots of hype and they can kill a lot of average teams, beat lots of good teams, but for whatever reason just can't get it done against the best. I'm guessing it's because the elite teams can keep Oregon's offense off the field.
