There sure were a lot of USC fumble recoveries by OSU, and that helped OSU greatly. The single OSU fumble recovery by USC didn't help them at all. It was reasonably sure to me that the game had already been decided by halftime, and indeed it was. It will be really interesting to see what happens to Alabama next week.

A surprisingly uncompetitive game. In the first half, USC looked like they didn't want to be there. By the time they woke up, it was too late. USC QB Sam Darnold is probably reconsidering his decision to declare for the NFL draft. He probably dropped two or three rounds after his performance in this game.

for the most part the bucks defense forced those fumbles, it's not like usc just handed them the ball.
on the other hand, the buckeye fumble was a muffed punt that wasn't forced, the player never caught it. usc did score their td from that so it did help them.
 
It was a good game. The only comment I have about our season was how deflating the ejection of Bosa was in the Iowa game. I think that had a major effect on the outcome. I am not taking anything away from Iowa, they won fair and square, but I think it made it a lot easier without him on the field. It will be interesting to see how it all works out. Good ole OSU, the only place you can have a 12-2 season and the fans are calling for your head on a platter !
 
Congrats to Ohio State. I even wore my Ohio State cap that a forum member gave me a few years ago while watching the game. I got bored the second half.

Yes, it was a defensive struggle in the second half, but in the end, the win is what matters. The Big 10 is 7-0 in the bowl's so far, this is not your daddy's big slow, Big 10.......hey, Jimmy and that team up north,don't screw up the perfect bowl season.
 
Funny how the brodcastrers seem not to mention the Big ten is kicking butt! Best league in the Country this year. Every time Ohio State wins, makes Penn State look better :)
 
Too bad the team up north ruined it for the Big10. I hope that Coach Harbawl isnt canned. I like his perfect 0-4 against OSU.

And yet the top two teams are from the SEC.

That's the SEC trademark for the last 10 years, 1 or 2 teams that are among the best in the county while the rest of the SEC schools ride their coattails talking about the excellence of their conference as a whole. You don't see any of the also-rans from the Big 10, Big 12, ACC, or PAC 12 chanting their conference name at a mid tier bowl game the way a South Carolina or Kentucky fan will. It's not all the SEC's fault, ESPN sure loves to play up the SEC, but I can't blaim them either. Getting the fan bases riled up brings viewers to programs like GameDay. Those ratings numbers bring sponsorship dollars and that leads to things like Northwestern spending $250 million on an indoor practice facility and Clemson putting in a water slide at their practice facility.

Well, that's certainly what the rest of the conferences tell themselves to feel better. When's the last time Indiana was a top 10 team?

Probably 10 of the 14 SEC teams have been in the top 10 the last 20 years and probably 7 have been in the top 5. I doubt 7 of the 12 big 10 (nee 12) have been in the top 10 during that time.

Ohio State, Penn State, Wisconsin, Michigan State, and Iowa have all been top 10 just in the last 5 years. Going back 20, you'll find Michigan will several top 5s and I'm sure I can find a season where a Purdue or Minnesota snuck in there too like you can for Vanderbilt and Kentucky.

But the bigger point is that Indiana doesn't brag about Ohio State's success in football the way a Kentucky fan will brag about Alabama's success.

...and UCF would whup all three...:p At the same time.
It all leads to great debates until someone gets too worked up.
Like speculating could the gunfighter beat the ninja, a Viking
defeat a Spartan, will the lion kill the bear? Paper or plastic?

You are deluding yourself if you think that. Watch 10 minutes of any ESPN football broadcast and you can see the broadcasters supporting conference teams from their football days. Indeed, this thread has examples.

Be interesting to see where UCF winds up in the final polls. They beat another team that would give Ohio State all it wanted, Auburn.

I'm not talking about broadcasters on a network. The broadcasters are paid to say things that get the viewers emotionally invested. And is there even an Indiana alum doing broadcast work for ESPN? I'm referring to the general fanbases.

Ohio State's defense can play with anybody (before you say Iowa, I'll refer to JT Barrett's 4 INTs and the general ineptitude of the rest of the offense that night), but their offense has been a liability. Anyways, I think they could have done as well as Clemson did lol

It's funny, Ohio State has made 5 BCS and CFP appearances since 2002. The 2 times they won the title, I didn't expect them to, the 1 time I thought it was a sure fire win, they stunk (06). In '07 I knew that team wasn't that good and if you remember that season, they back doored their way in as chaos ensued after they played their last game. Last year I didn't expect them to win, but certainly to see them get blanked by Clemson was frustrating. At this point, I am excited to see a new QB for OSU who can throw a deep ball. Get away from the QB read option that became Urban's crutch the last few seasons (ruined our chance in '15 when the kept the ball away from Zeke against MSU).
