The Ducks are coming off their poorest outing against the run in Dan Lanning’s tenure and have been focused on corrections ahead of their Rose Bowl rematch with the Buckeyes.

Ohio State's defense took a lot of heat for its lapses in an October loss at Oregon. What's different for the Buckeyes in the Playoff?

The Rose Bowl will be a battle between the Big Ten establishment (Ohio State) and a new-era bully (Oregon), with conference supremacy and a path toward a national championship at stake.

The Ohio State defense has been playing lights out since the match-up with the Ducks, giving up less than 12 points per game and the secondary hasn’t allowed a passing touchdown since that day in Autzen Stadium. On the other side, the Bucks are a patchwork on the offensive line. The unit has performed well at times. Other times, not so much.

The Oregon Ducks and Ohio State Buckeyes will face off in the Rose Bowl. After four years of losing to Michigan and zero championships, is Ohio State's Ryan Day coaching for his job vs. Dan Lanning in the College Football Playoff?

The first round of the College Football Playoff took place last week, and a lot of people were disappointed with the results as there were a lot of blowouts. Now, the quarterfinals are set, and there are supposed to be some terrific matchups as the teams that originally had byes will be in action.
