I think a lot of fans were looking at the choice of paying for the trip to Dallas or Nawlins. Since the latter is a five-hour drive from Birmingham (just using a central point), many waited til the ticket prices dropped...and how they have dropped - Wished we were going! I know a few people who are going to Nawlins today. I don't think there will be a shortage of Bama fans in the dome tonight.

Yes. The Ohio native in the newsroom is picking the upset. After the damage OSU did to Wisconsin with third-string quarterback Cardale Jones, the Buckeyes have proved they are full of surprises.

I have heard all the Big Ten jokes. I have made a lot of them. Same with the Urban Meyer jokes. But this game will be no joke. Ohio State is being built along SEC lines, something Meyer knows how to do. Alabama should win ā but it will be no laughing matter.

Alabama has been there, done that. Ohio State is relying on a third-string quarterback against one of the best defenses in the country. New Orleans is the next best thing to home-field advantage for the Tide. It seems all fingers point to the Tide on this one.

Ohio State will capitalize on Alabamaās biggest weakness ā connecting on deep shots ā a couple of times, but Alabamaās depth on the defensive front and defensive disguising will keep third-string quarterback Cardele Jones befuddled for much of the night.
Michael Southern
Alabama 31, Ohio State 24
Urban Meyer has been stockpiling athletes during his tenure, and Ohio State is not a lumbering Big Ten team. Alabamaās strength has been its versatility to win shootouts and street fights, so how the tempo of the game unfolds will be interesting.
Edwin Stanton
Alabama 24, Ohio State 21
Even with a third-string quarterback, Ohio State is still a dangerous team. Especially with Urban Meyer on the sideline. He knows a thing or two about Alabama and what its defense is capable of doing. I expect the Buckeyes to hit on a few big plays, but eventually, Alabama will wear down the Buckeyes with a heavy dose of T.J. Yeldon and Amari Cooper.

I think this will be a relatively high-scoring game. Alabama is better built to dominate the line of scrimmage, but I suspect the Buckeyes to take several and connect on a few deep shots to stretch the UA defense. Alabama is a deeper, more experienced team.

Ohio State poses a dangerous threat to Alabama for many reasons, especially on defense with end Joey Bosa and corner Doran Grant leading a talented pass defense. But, perhaps, the Buckeyesā biggest threat is that they are due. Eventually Charlie Brown will kick the field goal; Wiley Coyote will catch the Roadrunner; Ohio State will beat an SEC team in a bowl game ā just not this time.

It would be embarrassing to have more OSU fans than Bama fans at a game in the south. Hoping Crimson represents well.
May our offense be swift and score lots of points, may our defense be sturdy and unbreakable, may our special teams start drives off right, may our coaching be strong and smart, may our fans be loud and proud, and may we reach the final.
ROLL TIDE ROLL!!! Drown the nuts!!!

What I haven't heard this post
Season... Anything about our energy and focus in practice. I remember hearing about this before the LSU and ND games, where there were times the team leaders had to have meetings and all to get guys focused. Haven't heard anything like this for this game. I hope silence is a good thing...
