Who do you think has more momentum?  Who will use this momentum the most to their advantage to win the national championship game?

It's a coin flip to me.  They both should have big chips on their shoulders and this should be a fantastic championship game.

Well, ESPN Radio can quit playing that clip: "Florida State reigns supreme! The Seminoles have completed the perfect season!" Certainly Oregon shut them up, didn't they?

However, I don't find this one okay mainly because of some of the Ducks players mocking Jameis Winston. Wow. Dude, you fucking serious?! This dude was just clear of charges and you're gonna mock this man?! Classless. Let's hope they don't see another day on the field. As for the rest of the Ducks team that didn't mock Winston after the win, right on them.
Finally upgraded to Expressway after, what, seven or so years on this forum? Took a dadgum while, but, I made it!

As an Oregon and Michigan fan, I still have to say Ohio had a bigger day by upsetting a heavily favored Alabama team. Hopefully this and the Michigan State game go a way toward quenching the "SEC IS SUPREME" mentality.

Still, quack quack Ducks.

Ducks won by 39.  tOSU won by 7.  Who won the biggest victory?  You do the math...LOL!

US 101 is THE backbone of the Pacific coast from Bandon OR to Willits CA.  Industry, tourism and local traffic would be gone or severely crippled without it being in functioning condition in BOTH states.

Oregon had the bigger victory in points, but I don't think anyone outside Ohio had Ohio State beating Alabama. Not to mention shutting up the "SEC invented college football" crowd.

My betting picks prior to the semis was to take the over in the Rose and the points in the Sugar.  When a team playing a 3rd string QB can demolish a good Wisconsin team 59-0, you know there's some serious horsepower under the hood for the Buckeyes.  The SEC fanboys may not have seen this the way I did and of course the talking heads are in love with whoever is leading the pack (Tide was #1 and SEC) but I use the eyeball test to see which horse I like in a race.  tOSU appeared to have all the physical presence it took to hang in there with 'Bama.

On the upcoming game I see Oregon as a mild favorite but mild isn't enough for me to bet the game on the pointspread but I am looking at the under as being a strong maybe.  Turnovers will decide the outcome and it is tOSU who has to avoid 3rd and long so their QB doesn't turn into an INT duck-feeding machine.  The next most important factor is Mariota.  Does he play like Russell Wilson with the offense in hyperdrive gear?  tOSU's DC has a lot to deal with but he won't be bereft of talent to deploy.  Will that be enough to slow down Oregon?

Urban Meyer is a fine coach and he has an excellent if underrated team to bring into the game.  Oregon has a ton of top of the line support staff, the best facilities in college football and the most explosive read-option in college football.  Ducks with Ferrari flash vs Bucks with F-250 Super Duty power is the surface appearances matchup but each team has enough of the other side's attributes so the game looks rather even and lower scoring if both teams play well.

The F-250 beat the Ferrari into submission.  Congrats tOSU!

I despise OSU. However, they played a heck of a game last night. Ezekiel Elliott won't ever have to pay for another meal in Columbus (that is, if the NCAA doesn't find out).

As a Florida fan, I got tired of hearing that the first time I heard it. As I just mentioned in the previous post, I despise Ohio State. That said, I'd gone for them if they had to play FSU.
