First Champion of new era decided tonight
Fourth seeded Ohio State faces off against Oregon in the first CFP championship game at JerryWorld in Dallas later tonight.
In my 2014 NCAA Football Preview I had a Football Four of 1-Florida State, 2-Oregon, 3-Wisconsin and 4-Florida. While I got the four conferences represented right, I only had Oregon and Florida State in my pre-season view and actually had Wisconsin winning the title! Not a bad effort but you never know in a college season.
Ohio State vs Oregon
For tonight, I think the key may be the third quarter, particularly from Oregon's first possession of the second half onwards as it will be just after half time when the endurance/fatigue effect of playing the Ducks starts to hit Ohio State. Conversely, if Ohio State can force some early mistakes and get ahead, they will have to hang on for dear life but may be able to pull it off.
Some think the two missing receivers will have a major affect on the Ducks but they are pretty deep and speedy on the outside
Still, I've gotta go with the speed and the Heisman winner here.
National Champion: Oregon 38-28
