As always, I reserve the right to change my mind at least five different times and ways over the next week-plus. This is the knee-jerk, off-the-cuff, clichƩ-riddled first-thought prediction.

Ohio State has the right mix.

I really don’t like feeding into the narrative, but yeah, considering there was next-to-no real lag time between the conference championships and the playoff, only playing seven games really might matter. Even more than that, several Buckeyes didn’t even play that many games.

This is one fresh team.

However, Alabama doesn’t look at all like it’s dragging. The offense isn’t going to slow down, but to keep going back to the SEC Championship, Ohio State right now might have a wee bit of a defense to go along with Florida’s passing game.

Everything in my being goes against picking against Alabama in a national championship game – and again, this might change after doing a far deeper dive – but …

First Reaction Prediction: Ohio State 45, Alabama 41

 
Yeah, I’m good with his prediction. Our guys need to play with something to prove.

Key paragraph in article.

"– This is written before Indiana plays Ole Miss in the Outback. It shouldn’t be this way, but if Indiana wins big – the Rebels pushed Bama a bit earlier in the year – watch for the Ohio State love to start gushing. Wisconsin and Northwestern took care of their respective bowl games – maybe the Big Ten starts to get more respect."

I predict that he will predict Bama to win in his next article.

Hope he knows that Ole Miss played Indiana without 3 guys that had 444 yards against Bama. Ealy-120 rushing. Yeboah-181 receiving, and Moore-143 receiving!

Edit: 465 yards! Ealy also had 18 receiving and Moore had 3 rushing.
