WOW! What a difference a few minutes of gametime make!

If not for 2 turnovers and scoring off them this game would be a blowout for OSU! Bama let Nuss go in the offseason because they couldn't score enough and now Kiffin's squad looks horrible.

Bama's defense is starting to look suspect and as Saban said going into the locker room the 3rd downs are killing them.

OSU has all the momentum lets see if they can keep it up, despite what's happened it's still Bama and nothing is won until the game clock hits 0:00.

Herbstreit said the FSU players had quit because everything for them was going wrong. So, did Bama just quit? or is it maybe that all of the sudden everything is just going right for Ohio. Sometimes in sport the other team is just better than you on that day...like Oregon was.

All these tide fans on this board? Where did you all come from? When I was a Michigan freshman I quickly learned as all freshmen did that whats good for the Big Ten is good for Michigan. And that unfortunately means rooting for Ohio in bowl games.

I guess if I lived in CBus it would just be intolerable. But you all cant live in Ohio. I'm in San Francisco. Went to Michigan and a school out West. Had the chance to root for Harbaugh at Stanford and SF. But really, it's just illogical to root for Bama and the SEC to make it to yet another championship game. And we want the Big Ten to win every damn bowl game. I will root for the ducks though. I have my limits. Just give me a Pac ? and Big Ten championship. Thats what JH and JC would want.

It's MSU, PSU, and even mid tier BIG teams taking players we used to get.

We have had great recruiting classes, we need to win and get on the big stages again. We need much more out of the highly ranked players we have.

Thank GOD we now have a real head coach.

We will be recruiting against the SEC and Ohio. But I think the big battle is against the SEC. Kids choose Ohio or Michigan based more on character. They are completely different cultures. Some kids will buy Urban's bs and some will love the Michigan academics and family culture. Some will like both, but the real battle is to win recruiting battles vs the SEC. We have to draw in the top talent nationally.

We are all in the process of watching them lose. I think this performance so far has surprised most everyone, but I truly believe Alabama will find a way to come out on top.

Although I will say OSU has clearly outplayed Bama so far despite losing by  a point.

the momentum at the half in the first game. Bama needs to use Henry and stop the stupid short passes, get more aggressive on defense, and they should win. With that said, I really don't care who wins this game. I just want Oregon to win it all.

Man, how the fuck is their 3rd string QB this good? I mean seriously, try to imagine Bellomy just coming in and throwing strikes.

I don't understand some people here. What makes anyone think Bama is going to come out in the second half and steam roll anyone? OSU has dominated so far and it's not like Meyer doesn't know what he is doing. No one knows what will happen. I think it sucks either way. In no way does a school not named "Michigan" winning a title help us. That argument doesn't make sense to me.
