CFP National Championship Staff Predictions

Nationally there are very few giving the Buckeyes a shot in this one as the Alabama offense is just too talented, too deep, and the Crimson Tide are just seemingly seen as too good overall for Ohio State to stand much of a chance.

I hope Michael is right in his prediction not that Ohio State wins but that it’s competitive for four quarters.

What Justin Fields did in the Sugar Bowl was miraculous, but this is a different beast that Ohio State is getting in Alabama.  We get way too hyperbolic each year but Alabama’s offense is full of stars, just like LSU’s was a season ago.

I’ve thought since early this fall that Alabama looked the part of a team that is probably two touchdowns better than anyone else in the country and just don’t see the path to them being slowed down tonight.
