Easy to tell. Go to Ohio State athletic site and see if you can buy tickets. Go to Oregon's athletic site and do the same.

Yep. Or look at ticket prices and availability on each side of the stadium. The tickets on the Oregon side are all noticeably cheaper.

Or read this article and quote relating to seatgeek.com data from just 2 days ago:

If buying trends are any indication, the Ducks will be facing a sea of Ohio State red in the stands. Roughly 22 percent of SeatGeek's ticket buyers hail from Ohio, more than any other state. The next-largest group comes from the game's home site of Texas (20 percent) followed by California (10 percent) and Oregon (6 percent).

Said Gregoire: "It won't feel quite like Columbus — but you're going to notice and definitely hear the crowd support slanted toward the Buckeyes on every big play."

This is not as comforting as I would like. I think I remember seeing that Oregon gets most of its recruits from Northern California, so I might guess that most of the Californians are Oregon fans? It all comes down to how many Buckeye's live in Texas and California.

Yeah, I'd say Ducks outnumbered Buckeyes on my flight from California roughly 20 to 3. But there are some of us. Still, have to think 22% from Ohio, along with a larger take of the Texas group, compares pretty favorably to a combined 16% even if we gave Oregon all of California too.
