oochymp 2,393 Posted January 2, 2015 there is no way in hell an undefeated power five team will ever be left out of the playoffs (unless there are five undefeated power five teams, but I think it's safe to assume that won't happen) and here's why, as bad as this looks consider this alternative story line: had FSU been left out of the playoffs they would have gone to the Orange Bowl, as the ACC Champion, where they would have played Mississippi State, given that FSU beat Georgia Tech and Georgia Tech beat Mississippi State in the actual Orange Bowl and that Mississippi State hasn't been that good of late, it's reasonable to think that FSU could have beaten Mississippi State, then you'd have an undefeated ACC Champion who'd won a bowl game against one of the top SEC teams and didn't get a shot at the National Title, does that not look worse? bottom line is you have to give an undefeated power five team a shot at the title or nobody will support the system, and really we just need more teams, but we all know that 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OSUViking 505 Posted January 2, 2015 I don't know how OSU matches up against Oregon. Their defense has been playing great lately, but if OSU keeps the mistakes down (i.e., no turnovers, avoiding situations that could lead to safeties, passing it with 1:30 left and the other team has two timeouts, etc.) I think it will be a good game. Not expecting to win and you won't see very many posts talking about Oregon matching up with OSU, but I really just hope it's a classic game. OSU and Alabama already delivered a classic game that will probably be remembered for a while. I hope that's the case with the national championship. If it's a blowout, then so be it. OSU made it far. Extremely proud of the team. Etc etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OSUViking 505 Posted January 3, 2015 Dumb knee jerk reaction. lol. Not trying to say he is the best because I am partial but... The man just put together a season in which we were written off after losing our star QB, losing to VT, and then after rebuilding our image were almost written off again after losing a 2nd star QB. We annihilated a good Wisconsin team with a great defense with our 3rd string QB, and then dominated the touted Alabama defense for essentially the entire game outside of the early 4th quarter. While I'm again not going to make my judgement, it's pretty easy to make a case for Meyer being considered the best. Especially considering how young this team is.

OSUViking 505 Posted January 4, 2015 Considering Meyer's history of successful seasons, it's not just off one season. Again, I'm not going to cast my own judgement, but Meyer has his own case for best CFB coach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bangy 19 Posted January 4, 2015 I really am looking forward to this, I want revenge for the Rose Bowl defeat of 2010. It is going to be interesting to watch as well as imo the Buckeyes offence is loosely based of Oregon's. So I want to see how the Oregon defence handles that. I also want to see if Mariota just handles tthis as another game and bosses it or if he crumbles. This is only the second big game of his career of this magnitude so I want to see him step up and lead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bangy 19 Posted January 13, 2015 Well you can add Ohio St next to Auburn in teams I fucking despise. Congratulations Buckeye fans note that I hate you too. 0-2 in the national championship game isn't that bad right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OSUViking 505 Posted January 13, 2015 Still seeing people (mostly on other discussion forums) saying TCU was "clearly" the best. They say the fact that Oregon couldn't capitalize off of four takeaways and the fact that OSU surrendered four turnovers show that they clearly weren't the best teams. Well... I don't have to debate people anymore! OSU proved themselves and won a fucking championship. I just can't believe winning a championship and dominating a team that won its own playoff game 59-20 isn't enough for people. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteVo+ 3,702 Posted January 13, 2015 So much for the offensive juggernaut Oregon. Ohio State straight up dominated at the point of attack on both sides of the ball. Ezekiel Elliott will get a lot of the credit, but the holes he was running through were absolutely ridiculous. If not for the turnovers, this would have been a blowout. Congratulations, Buckeyes fans. Also, could the inaugural season of the College Football Playoff have been any more successful? The controversial #4 team beats the consensus #1 and #2 to win it all. Hopefully this is a step towards eight teams as FartWaffles hinted, but for now, I think it's confirmation that this is a humongous upgrade to the BCS. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bucman 891 Posted January 13, 2015 Urban knows how to build a team and it starts in the trenches. I gave the D a lot of shit this season but the responded today. They dominated Oregon in the redzone and consistently got pressure on Mariota. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OSUViking 505 Posted January 13, 2015 Why? Both teams were outplayed in the playoffs. Before, you could make that argument. After seeing both of them lose, I don't know how that would have been the preferable outcome. It would have gifted either program a title that we know in hindsight they didn't deserve. Unless...
