    Even in a 4 team playoff this team was gonna have trouble.

    No excuses. Just damn.

    Not having James and Stewart for offense in this game really hurt the Ducks...defense was gassed by halftime.

    The whole Stewart thing seems a little flaky

    Imperative the Ducks find a QB who can throw over the offensive line.

    Lanning just ain’t the guy. The talent is the same as the first meeting. The players were lost because they didn’t know what osu was doing. Clearing Lanning didn’t either. He will not lead this team to a title. He seriously should be embarrassed and fired tomorrow. Plain out coached

    That's the problem with a 4 team playoff.

    There aren't three other teams better than Ohio State.

    Exactly. It'd of been a team equal to or better than Ohio State. The criteria would have been (as we saw) much more stringent.

    I think we learned that a bye week is good, but a 3 1/2 week bye leads to bye bye.

    One of the times I wish I hadn’t been right. This is why I didn’t want to play them in the Big 10 championship game either. Thought to beat a team TWICE in one season. Still love my ducks though.

    We'll see if Georgia can break that bye week curse tomorrow. If not we'll have a ton of teams trying to avoid those top four spots haha

    Doubt it, most will view it as a fluke or that weak teams got the top4 spots

    If it really becomes a trend they'll just make it a 16 team playoff
