We're seeing that the bye is affecting the top 4 teams. They all have come out super slow and sloppy. Oregon has just let it avalanche. 2012 NCG on steroids

Can you expand a bit? Not sure how we possibly stop them now that OSU has discovered the foward pass after their loss to Michigan. Also don’t think we’re built for a shootout.
We did against USC.

Let Us get past UGA,
OSU will be the next real tough opponent

OSU will win the natty, probably easily. Their fans paid up for players last offseason and this is the result. Obviously a worthwhile investment.

Best offensive player in the country and the best defensive player in the country both play for Ohio St

byes are a problem. In the NFL, it makes sense, but college is a different situation. The playoff should either be 8 or 16, and nothing else. There should be no byes.

I switched from the espn telecast over to espnnews. It’s called Skycast, but there are no announcers. Just crowd noise and then the stadium PA guy. Very nice.

Before and after the scUM game I said tOSU is the best team in the country,… this game is still surprising but doesn’t impact my thought one way or the other. They’re the only team I absolutely wanted no part of coming into the thing before seeding and all. I was hoping Oregon or Tennessee would knock them off but,… yikes

Or 2014 OSU-Oregon
Those two teams played a game prior to that one, so I wouldn't blame it on the rust.

They played bowl games 11 days prior to the NCG. They weren't rusty, Oregon couldn't stop the Zeke Express. That dude was on another planet at the end of 2014.

Can we take a second to realize how crazy this score is?????
It's been like this seemingly for all of these games. Slow starts from the BYE teams.

Boise got clocked and fell behind 17-0 early against Penn State and never really recovered.

ASU fell behind 17-3 early against Texas, but fought back.

Oregon had far and away the worst opponent to come out slow against. You can beat Ohio State, but you cannot let them get going early, because that doomed Tennessee the same way. Also helps that Oregon's defense is seven shades of shit.
