As I’ve said many times before, I think you’re crazy if you think the national title game will be a blowout. In my humble opinion, there’s no chance that happens.

Whether Alabama wins or the Buckeyes take home the title, I 100% expect this game to be a shootout.

I understand Alabama being favored, and I’m more than okay with that. They’ve certainly put together a more complete season than the Buckeyes have, and they’ve pretty much never been pushed.

However, Ohio State proved against Clemson that when they’re rolling, they’re unstoppable!
