The Ohio State football team takes on the number-one-ranked Oregon Ducks on Wednesday in the Rose Bowl. It's the second time that these two teams will meet this year, with Oregon winning the first matchup 32-31 when Will Howard didn't quite slide fast enough. It might be a matchup between the two most talented teams in college football.
Ohio State is coming off a 42-17 massacre of the Tennessee Volunteers. Oregon got a bye in the first round after winning the Big Ten. Both teams feel very confident coming into this game. There's a good chance that the winner of this game will go on to win the national championship.
Not only is this the second time that these two teams are meeting, but it is the second time that College GameDay will be on-site for the game. In fact, this will be the fifth time that GameDay is on-site for an Ohio State football football game, more than any other school this season.
College GameDay will once again be on-site for an Ohio State football game
The Ohio State Buckeyes are 3-1 so far in games that College GameDay has been at. Their only loss is the first matchup between these two teams. With this being a neutral-site game, the Buckeyes are hoping that things will be more in line with the last game they were at, which was the demolition of the Vols.
One of the big advantages that the Buckeyes have coming into this game is that they are coming off the best game they've played all season long. They have momentum. Oregon could be rusty after having a week off, even though they played pretty well against Penn State in the Big Ten Championship.
This is shaping up to be the best game of the College Football Playoff slate. It should be a close game between two great programs.
