Feels like this is part of realignment going forward. We are going to get better games, but they are going to "mean" less. Not to CFP implications, but to the fans. This feels like a fun September game, not to determine who controls their CCG destiny.

I think Ohio State is the better team, and I stand by my statement that Gabriel doesn't look totally comfortable in the offense. He's leading the nation in completion percentage, but is dismal in yards per completion, and threw 2 red zone picks last week when the downfield threat didn't exist.

That said, I'll believe in the time zone curse until proven otherwise

Oregon 30, Ohio State 24

Agreed on all counts. This is a great game, I mean who can complain about #2 vs #3 but it isn't like similar match-ups that I've witnessed in the past. In the past the loser was likely out. Now all this does is determine who controls their own destiny to the CCG and a first-round bye.

Also, this *COULD* end up being the first of up to three Buckeyes/Ducks games this year.

You and I and others discussed the time zone thing earlier and I agree there as well. Unless/until proven otherwise I'll have a hard time picking a team travelling 2+ timezones unless I think the home team is just atrocious and the road team is a contender.

This from BUCKNUTS
- Ohio State is tied for #1 in the country in red zone offense. In the 21 times Ohio State has been in the red zone, they have scored 20 TDs and 1 FG.
- Oregon is ranked #93. In their 21 attempts, they have scored 14 TDs and 3 FGs.
- Ohio State is also ranked #3 in red zone defense while Oregon is ranked #104.

It would prolly be best if Ohio St could score on a couple of early possessions and put the pressure on Gabriel. The number of times the Buckeye RBs ground out decent yardage on 1st down will really be a key that's a guess of course but stands to reason. That would open up the passing game and keep their front 7 from pinning their ears back. And last but not least take the wild crowds out of it

Oregon has A LOT of transfers. tOSU start 6 transfers while Oregon starts 14 including all of their WRs and their entire defensive backfield. The maturity and experience of their transfers must be playing a factor in their early success

They apparently have the most expensive DL in terms of NIL in the country. They bought MSU's best DT, and he's just part of a rotation there, instead of being a DUDE.

MSU matched up better with OSU because they were closer in the trenches. Oregon absolutely dominated MSU inside. That's going to be a big test for OSU, because their lines have not been nearly as good under Day as they were under Tressell/Meyer

Ohio State is probably the better team....but.....West coast curse. Ohio State SHOULD win the game. But wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if Oregon gets some whacky home field bounces and pulls out the victory.

If Chip Kelly can mix it up and the big uglies get the running game going I like tOSUs chances.Not really any parallels to draw from,getting pumped this contest is up there with M/Texas and Gawja/Bama. Aslo with the Red River Rivalry not a bad day to back off the work around the house

-Ohio State has a 9-1 all-time record vs. Oregon. The Buckeyes won the first nine games in the series; Oregon won the most recent contest, defeating Ohio State 35-28 at Ohio Stadium in 2021.

-Ohio State defeated Oregon 30-0 in the programs’ only previous meeting at Autzen Stadium in 1967.

-This will be the Buckeyes’ first conference game against any of the four former Pac-12 schools that joined the Big Ten this summer.

-This will be the fifth time Ohio State has played a game as the No. 2 team in the AP poll against the No. 3 team in the AP poll. The Buckeyes are 1-3 in those games with a win over Michigan in 2016 but losses to Clemson in 2019 and Michigan in both 2022 and 2023.

-ESPN’s College GameDay will be on site for the game, marking Ohio State’s 60th game at a College GameDay site, the most of any school. OSU has a 40-19 record in GameDay games.

-Expect a heavyweight bout that lives up to its top-three hype.

Beau Bishop really flubbed his intro this morning. I wouldn't be able to do it justice, so it's time stamped.

Yes this has been the boogie man under the bed that nobody wants to confront the Head Coach with and is the big bone of contention with DAY. He creates some marvelous/sparkling offenses,spends the ADs money getting great asst. coaches and dipping into NIL but what has HE developed in the trenches? He's had home run hires with Hartline and Kelly but ignores HIS responsibilty of building the teams base. Good luck finding any Sunday line studs developed under his program,Paris Johnson,Dawand Jones maybe?

IMO Day is starting to look like a glorified smoke & mirrors, hocus - pocus guy.URBZ D-lines in '15/'16/'17 were deep,6-8 in the rotation(guys not named Bosa or Young) and many of those guys are playing on sunday's. Larry Johnson needs to be retired,one of best in his day but that ship has sailed. Tressel won an NC in his 2nd yr,Meyer won it in his 3rd and Day is in his 6th and no closer to fixing the conundrum.When URBZ left he was at like 7.5 million per,RD has been over 10 mil for 2-3 seasons now.The offense didn't lose that game last nite quite impressive actually w 2 O-lineman going down but ORE. was w/o it's best lineman Burch so off setting there.

Both teams put on a great show and the Buckeyes prolly lead CFB in close,rivoting big game loses,Georgia 2yrs ago,Michigan last season,this game last nite - they're not boring but with a defense they very well could be. Rant Over
