I'm torn on the OSU/BAMA game. However, I think those who honestly believe Florida State doesn't belong are going to be saddened when they beat Oregon. Not sure they can beat Bama or OSU, because those 2 defenses won't let Winston get away with some of his awful decisions. However, I also think FSU will be able to pound the ball on Oregon and if they get to the title game, they are still the defending champs.

If OSU defense plays as it did last night, they certainly have a legit shot at beating Bama. That was as focused a defense as I have seen the past 3yrs(about time). Bama offense is much better, but that defensive effort last nite was impressive for OSU. Oline has to play great as well and give Jones time to throw as they did last nite as well. Of course, establishing the fun early was huge and will be huge for the passing game. I know its an old saying, but this game will be won/lost up front. And Bama is a beast on both sides of the ball. OSU can be a beast, as evidence last nite.

No, no team with a rapist has ever won back to back titles.

Considering they've made a habit of winning games this year in the same general way that OSU did in '02, I wouldn't count them out until they lose. They're firmly in that "WTF?!? We're undefeated and people are saying we might not belong???" chip on the shoulder territory that I think the Bucks were in when they took the field against Miami.

The 02 bucks had a really good defense. I'm not sure FSU does. I also haven't watched more than a couple of quarters of them this year, so I could be wrong.

OSU vs ORE for the marbles...it will be an instant classic. No call yet on the winner. Gotta watch the semis.

Why wait? Oregon couldn't hold a candle to OSU's 3rd string.

Yes! FSU is nothing special and their best wins were 2 points against #12 and OT against #17 while OSU beat #8 on the road by 12 and #18 by 59
