Who do you think wins and why?

Buckeyes by 24.

Bucks roll.

Irish will win!

Buckeyes by a lot. Zeke goes off for 200+ and 3 TDs in his final game in Scarlet and Grey.

Might be good for a half, might not. OSU by a lot.

As with any Bowl game that is not in the playoff it depends on which team really wants to play the game. We have seen this many times........one team does not really care about playing and gets blown out. Or both do not care. Occasionally both want to win and a good game breaks out.

I've been saying all year that ND and Clemson are not as good as the other top teams. I would rather get the chance to prove it about Clemson, but I'll take ND. Like someone else though, Ohio State has to want to win this game. I think they'll show up and play like they did against Michigan.

I feel sorry for the good people of Glendale. They're going to have to put up with both ND and OSU fans for that entire week. That'd be miserable.

 

As for the game Ohio State is going to massacre them. I'll say 42-7.

Like Michigan fans are any better, stop staring in your bedroom mirror please.

Scottsdale is THRILLED!

Well I said before the season that if JT ends up being the starter sometime this year that OSU would not repeat this year. With that said I still thought they would be in the playoffs. They are one of the top 4 teams in the country. I am a Notre Dame fan and all my closest friends are OSU fans. So this will be a fun build up for the game. However OSU is so talented and I would have liked Notre Dame chances better if they were more healthy. However this will be a tough game for my Irish. They will have to play a great game to keep it close to have a shot at the end.

If Notre Dame was remotely healthy I would like their chances. No team has been more decimated with injuries than the Irish.

 

Despite the two losses, this is Kelly's best Irish team with some depth. They have a lot of NFL talent on the roster.

 

tOSU should roll, but let's be honest. The Buckeyes have played up to their potential one game this entire season. Had they played how they were supposed to play in most games, even with the loss, I am not sure they wouldn't be in over OU.

ND may not be able to stop OSU's rushing game.

 

ND will bring a lot of offensive talent to the game even with all of the injuries.

This will be an early combine for NFL scouts.
