Ball control huh? OSU had 4 turnovers. The Ducks are just overrated like any other year. As soon as a school shows up that plays real, smash mouth football and fundamental D... they get punched in the mouth and fold. They're more worried about a fashion show then they are about playing football. Of national recruits, look at us we have 5,000 uniform combos, and while you may never win a NC here, you'll look good.
I think TCU should have been in for Bama. The argument can be made that TCU would have done the Ducks just as bad as OSU did. We can't know if OSU could have taken TCU ... because they didn't play each other. Just Sayin' [P.S. ... why I support an 8 team playoff, featuring the champions from ALL the major conferences ... (ACC, Big 10, Big 12, SEC, PAC 12 and three other high ranked teams) .. to ensure that every good team has a shot at the others].
LSU only plays with intensity in 1-2 games a year now. The rest, they play like an an arrogant overly confident team, like the just have to show up and they will win. LSU offensively plays with zero confidence and rhythm.
I still say expand to only 6 teams, making the top 2 spots much more valuable with a bye week looming. You'd have more suspense with competitions for the top 2 spots and top 6 spots up for grabs.
I could be wrong on this, saw it on a quick glance up at the little TV in my office, but I thought I read on ESPN's crawl yesterday morning in notes about the game.....since 2009, Oregon is 2-9 against opponents who have 10 or more days to prepare for the game.
