I know....I was going to ask you....because I have only watched OSU in their last two games and this one, and this guy is awesome...he looks like a definite nfl guy. Who is the best qb of the three guys in your opinion?

Also, another funny Caliendo tweet. [tweet]https://twitter.com/FrankCaliendo/status/554834583829884928[/tweet]

jt barett is the best one, he was statistically one of the best in big ten history. 2.5 games is bit too soon to put jones over barett but certainly looked like he could start for most division one teams.

Another turnover...

Oregon must have a string attached to the ball or something..

Or Elliott does. He is the difference in this game...and Cardale Jones being able to rush and convert.

helluva play by lee

Yeah, Ohio St is the best team in the country. The only team that I think might have a chance against them is TCU, and that is because I watched them a bit, and they always were crazy impressive...they mainly just made some bad coaching mistakes in that loss to Baylor where they blew a 21 pt lead, and it was tough to figure exactly how good they were, but their demolishing of Ole Miss, 42-3, a team that beat Bama, made me a serious believer. I'm not saying they should have gotten into the playoff, but I just wish the playoffs were expanded to 8 so situations like that are eliminated. I feel like OSU would beat them, but I will never know. A one loss team in a major conference, and that loss coming to a the 6th ranked team ON THE ROAD should not be denied a chance to be in a playoff. As many teams and five major conferences, there should not be only a 4 team playoff.

I'd be dumbfounded i they win, and even surprised if they stop OSU on the next possession.

baby steps imo. once they recognize how these playoff games smash ratings records, they'll expand the playoffs. at the very least networks will put immense pressure.

Yeah, it's just strange they are so hesitant and didn't at least put 8 in a playoff long ago. I mean there are so many teams that could potentially make noise in the playoffs. I mean Ohio St barely made it, and obviously they are the best team, at least of the four that made the playoff. But congrats on your team winning. I'm a little pissed I didn't bet on it, because in my gut I knew OSU was going to beat them and they were getting points. But at this point, after knowing gambling isn't a good idea in the long run, am only betting minimal amounts anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter.

thanks, absolute domination my only gripe is score is going to look much closer than game was because of the virtually unforced turnovers.

scary thing is barett is back, elliot is back, bosa is back, just about every game changer is back next year, this could be makings of something special.

Yeah, AZ is in same predicament, and their four best players are freshmen or sophs. Would love to see them meet you guys next year in the playoff, though a loss would hurt, especially after that tourney loss to you guys a couple years ago.

I have to admit I've always kind of despised Ohio St and for much of the season I thought they were overrated, but they deserve serious respect after this season and the way they finished. I believed in them after that Big Ten Championship game, and I like Urban Meyer, and I also respect the basketball team after playing them and watching them more. Plus I hate Alabama and most of the SEC even more, so I was happy they took care of Bama.

Very nice win.

Now if only the Cavs could figure out what is going on. Do you like Love or want to trade him?

Who will win the national championship?
