Ohio State is victorious in history's first College Football Playoff. Much of the praise has to go to Urban Meyer for rebuilding that program according to tried and true SEC principles. It is truly gracious of the SEC to share their secrets with the lesser conferences, but at the very least this championship proves that even the reviled Big 10 can rise to greatness if they accept the SEC into their heart.

The streak of SEC National Championships stands at 9. The new era of SEC Dominance began in TYOOL 2006.

2006 - Florida
2007 - LSU
2008 - Florida
2009 - Alabama
2010 - Auburn
2011 - Alabama
2012 - Alabama

Bored of such dominance, aware that it was completely bereft of fitting rivals, the SEC decided to create ones of their own. So began the seeding project. Great minds from the SEC were spread throughout the other conferences, to spread the knowledge and arts of the SEC, to give the SEC a challenge. And finally, a challenge they had.

2013 - FSU, coached by Nick Saban disciple Jimbo Fisher, was the first non-SEC team to win a National Championship in years, but only by abandoning the weak ways of the ACC.
2014 - Ohio State, coached by two-time SEC Champion Urban Meyer (also two time National Champion), brought the SEC to the Big 10, and returned that moribund conference to national success as result.

What's next? Will the PAC-10 accept the teachings of the SEC and reach prominence? The Big 12? Anyone can reach the big stage, if only they accept that their traditional ways are inferior to the SEC's, and accept the necessary changes into their heart.

Here's the first preseason top 25 I found, ESPN hasn't done one yet: http://www.lostlettermen.com/article/2015-preseason-top-25

1. Ohio State
2. TCU
3. Alabama
4. Baylor
5. Michigan State
6. FSU
7. Oregon
8. Georgia Tech
9. Georgia
10. LSU
11. Auburn
12. Mississippi State
13. Arizona State
14. Notre Dame
15. Ole Miss
16. Arizona
17. Arkansas
18. UCLA
19. Clemson
20. Mizzou
21. Wisconsin
22. Tennessee
23. USC
24. Texas A&M
25. NC State

Perhaps they are counting Oregon losing Mariota as a bigger loss than FSU losing Jameis to the draft? Or it's a joke as others are saying.

FSU is going to have the best roster again next year after they add Braxton Miller, it will just be a question of if their DC is good enough to get execution out of their D.

fsu is going to sink back to acc obscurity and duke will bludgeon them for years to come as jimbo fisher's house of cards and fraud continues to crumble in the wake of the brutal owning they suffered in the rose bowl which gave them institutional ptsd and they will ask for support in these trying times. a rape victim will be crying in the background of the press conference screaming for police or anyone to help but they'll remove her from the room because we can't have distractions when our university has so much soul searching to do and it's time to begin the healing and rebuilding.

I'm cool with Cardale Jones winning. He's cool. gently caress Tebow being on OSU's sideline. Made me almost switch over to Oregon for a second.

PLEASE CLAP
I am optimistic about next year because a lot of our team is young (the good part) and I believe we were playing well below our talent but I will not think we deserve being ranked until Week 5 (or whenever we play Miss St).

Now that smarmy fucker Urban Meyer has "First Ever Playoff National Champion" on his record forever, and has OSU setup to be the next Bama-esque juggernaut. Christ. :barf:

Cardale Jones is cool as gently caress, though. Seeing him blasting Duck OL all over the field was pretty neat. I watched the channel with the Oregon radio call and at one point after Jones just lowered the helmet and pulverized another Duck OL and picked up a first down after being hit three yards shy of the line one of them just said in tones of utter despair, "What can you do??!?! WHAT ELSE CAN YOU DO?!?!"
