I was rooting for the Buckeyes to beat Alabama because a friend I go to AA meetings with is a rabid Ohio State fan and 3 years ago when they beat the Ducks in the Rose Bowl I had to pay a bet by wearing an Ohio State jersey to our AA meeting. I have his Duck jersey all picked out and ironed and ready for him to wear this time.
Ohio State is a good team and an amazing feel-good story with their QB situation, but they only barely beat Alabama and almost gave it away at the end with mental mistakes and poor coaching. Oregon, on the other hand, absolutely dismantled FSU and when the Duck offense gets into high gear there isn't anyone in the country that can stop them. And even when our offense misfires...like it did in the first half of the Pac 12 title game against Arizona...our defense will keep us in the game.
