If the Bengals can get to the Super Bowl, the Bucks can beat Georgia. If Centre can beat Harvard, the Bucks can beat Michigan.

Absolutely, and I've stated I think we can win. There's a part of me that believes we pull it off 38-31.

However there's another part of me that wants to see the first 1.5 quarters to know.

Because If the secondary isn't holding up and if CJ isn't dropping his nuts it's probably not going to go to our liking realistically.

I don't know if this ↑ picture has been posted; but there are only 4 teams with a chance to win the division 1A College Football Championship and Ohio State is one of them...that is a good thing.

:oh:....:io:

Imagine the reaction on this board if the first two plays from scrimmage are

1). Bubble Screen
2). Run up the middle

We'd actually be happier with a run up the middle.

You want to watch the reaction to yet another run wide where the coaching staff leverages the inability of our TE's and WR's to block and immobility of our OL. They usually wait for the obvious 3rd and short situation before they run up the middle to give it the maximum chance of failure.

I'm going with the first half myself. The pattern for Day's teams against good to even talent so far is if they can find a way to get a burst/go on a run and get up 2-3 TD's early then they win (tsun '19, Clemson '20)

When they find themselves in a tight game at the half, or down, they lose ('19 Clemson, '20 Bama, '21 Oregon, '21 tsun, '22 tsun). The Utah game was the exception to this.

If you are handicapping this ask yourself what are the odds they can jump out to some kind of 2-3 TD lead on a team like UGA. That should give you an idea of what you think the odds are they can win. The odds aren't zero but I don't see how you could say they are much better than 30-35% that OSU can win this.

Which puts their odds significantly higher than all but 3 other teams in FBS to make the championship game. I'll take a 30-35% chance over 0% any day of the week.

Hahahaha pretty much true though.

3rd and 2, we'll go heavy personnel, we'll run a dive and we'll get -2 yards. Not sure whatever happened to the QB sneak but...

Odds are about right I think.... also agreed with your take. I can't see us jumping UGA like Clemson in 2020 so as I said before... if we are going to win this game it'll take an unconventional game on our part to get it done. That means taking (appropriate) shots down field, CJ showing even the slightest amount of grit, etc etc etc. Defense has to tackle well too or we probably lose fairly large.

Heart says OSU 38 UGA 31. Brain says UGA 45 OSU 24.
