Not to nit-pick, but 10 of their points came off two of our turnovers, so more likely, it would've been 63-10 or something to that nature.

I counted it as 70-10, had it been turnover free (of course, this assumes OSU scores TDs on each of the possessions in which it turned the ball over - which, to me, isn't much of a stretch considering Oregon didn't do much to slow OSU down, much less stop them)

Edit: That said, up 63-10, perhaps OSU does take a knee :wink:

At first I thought it was a low class move. Then I watched the game again. Seeing it I don't know if a touchdown was in the game plan until we had a negative play on a first down in the red zone and oregon used the first timeout. That first play looked like they just wante to run out the clock. Oregon wasn't going to win the game by calling timouts when a field goal puts them down by 3 scores. But they did have a shot at making the loss look less embarrassing by having another shot at a TD and a slim shot of an inside kick and another score. So urban punched it in. Let's face it 21 pts looks bad when you've scored more in every other game and only been held under 40 one other time. Reinforces the belief the PAC doesn't play defense. 28 with a shot at getting into the 30s on the other hand looks better.

When every coach in the Film Room Broadcast said that you punch it in, I pretty much followed their train of thought.

May just be me, but I prefer the gaudiness that comes with schools making their own rings. These are nice and all, but for comparison purposes I like FSU's from last year waaaaaaaay more. I will say that I like the clean look of the CFP rings, but I think really what it comes down to for me is the outrageous diamonds on the face of the ring. On a side note, what the hell is the 3rd ring for FSU last year? AP Poll give them out or something?

Edit: Another for comparison. Look at the diamonds! I need more diamonds!

Wait a second. I just saw this article which was posted December. Are those not real diamonds? Or are they referring to the general public if they were to buy them?

Jostens' College Football Playoff championship ring will feature 50 cubic zirconia synthetic gems.

Edit: No way, my mind is blown. Only professionals get the real deal. Due to NCAA rules all college championship rings are made of the fake man-made crap.

Pretty, right? Yes, but those aren’t real diamonds and rubies. Rather, they’re man-made stones meant to look real.

Per NCAA guidelines, student-athletes may only receive $415 worth of gifts for winning a national championship, and $325 if they win the conference title.

Jostens, a company that makes jewelry for high school graduations, college and professional championships, as well as other personalized items, has a partnership with the BCS and has created the last nine national championship rings.

Chris Poitras, the national director of sales and marketing for Jostens sports division, said that national championship rings, compared to Super Bowl rings, for example, are vastly different. Like “apples and oranges,” he said.

I think I have my answer. Also, the 3 rings that we've heard about being B1G, Sugar, and CFP are probably B1G, OSU NC, and CFP. Come to think of it, is there a reason people (including myself) would think they get one for the Sugar? In other words, let's say you win the Sugar Bowl before it was a playoff game, would you get a ring for that?

These rings from the CFB playoff committee are very nice and wait until you see the National Championship rings our players designed!
