I'm not sure Ohio State's defense would be able to consistently stop either team's offense. But their own offense has a nice deep threat in Devin Smith, a trio of experienced underneath receivers, two good tight ends, an extremely experienced offensive line, a 5-man RB platoon four of whom are high-4 or 5 star kids, and one of the country's most dynamic quarterbacks (plus an experienced, proven back up). At times Braxton looks lost and/or disinterested, but when he's on the Ohio State offense is every bit as dangerous as Bama or FSU. They'd certainly have a fighter's chance.

It'd be fitting if the SEC's national championship streak, which began with an overconfident Ohio State team getting pummeled by a hungry Urban-led Florida team, ended with an overconfident Bama team losing to a hungry Urban-led Ohio State team. Don't think Saban would ever let his guys get complacent, however.

Anyhow, it's strange that everyone thinks an FSU squad led by Jimbo Fisher, which hasn't accomplished anything of note for 15 years, is some super-lock guarantee over Ohio State and Urban Meyer. Ohio State is 6-3 in BCS bowl games and Urban personally is 4-0. People are citing Saban vs Meyer as one reason why Ohio State can't beat Bama. Why does unproven Jimbo Fisher not receive the same treatment if squared off against one of CFB's most accomplished, dominant coaches (whose bowl-season record is close to immaculate).
