Oregon's for real and so is Boise State if you watch College football...
That being said I would love to be a homer and bet my Buckeye's but I see a close game and I am taking the points.
OSU 27- ARK 26

Arkansas is the second best team yet underdogs. My Buckeyes must be sick this year. Arkansas is a good team, but they are not the second best. When OSU beats them convincingly, what will u rank OSU? Second because they would have beaten the second ranked team?

If the Bucklosers played in the SEC west they would have at least 3 conference loses, maybe 4.
Let's just keep this simple. The Bucklosers are 0-9 vs the SEC in bowl games. They can't handle the SEC speed and Arkansas is loaded with it.
If you need more just look at the strength of schedule. The Bucklosers have beaten no teams currently ranked in the top 25 and have a 75th ranked sos. Ark has played 5 teams currently ranked in the top 25 and hold a respectable 3-2 record against them while having a 9th ranked sos.
Looks like Ark represents some good value to me.
Best of luck everyone!
I'm tired of hearing this same song and dance about if they played in this division they'd get killed....etc, etc.... If my aunt had a dick she'd be my uncle....no one cares. No one also cares about how the SEC beat the Buckeyes back in 1915. It does not matter.
What matters is that this Buckeyes team has not played well...really all year. I like Arkansas here and the Bucks are my team, especially if that line is at +3.5 for the Razorbacks.
Devil's advocate though in me would not be surprised if Ohio State won....no one thought they would beat that superfast Ducks last year..

I don't think Arkansas is better than Oregon, but it would be a great game...
The fact is, if Arkansas hadn't scored Late game TD's on 5 second / 80 yard plays in at least 3 of their games, they could very easily be sitting at 8-4 or 9-3 playing in the Humanitarian Bowl or something. I simply do not think Ohio St will give up those kind of plays.
Arkansas' defense has been lacking all year but their offense makes up for it especially since the emergence of 18 year old Soph sensation Knile Davis.
Honestly, after this huge contract extension Petrino signed (3.5 mil / per year thru 2017) -- I wouldn't be surprised if Arkansas got smacked around here.
Though they are 7-1 ATS vs. bowl bound teams this year so they could very easily hang tough and pull out a W. I'm not betting on this but it should be a good game.

Oh and I must add : the reason why Arkansas could potentially get embarassed here is :
SPECIAL TEAMS.
They SUCK on kick-off return coverage. Don't be surprised if Ohio St's starting field position is on their on 45 to start every drive. And that I think will be the difference.

Word I'm getting is Ohio State is investigating but probably won't conclude the investigation untill after the Sugar Bowl. Pryor and Herron were the two biggest names mentioned. Pryor tweeted, "I paid for my tattoos. GoBucks"

Lots of interesting angles for this game. The one I like is QB Ryan Mallet, who first played at Michigan where he was taught to hate Ohio State as a fundamental daily exercise. In this one I see him paying back some old friends where he started his college career.
Arkansas, and it might even get silly in the 2nd half...

They dont want ohio st. to get drilled again in a bowl game when playing a SEC team, but it still wont help them win hogs large.
Ohio St. should keep them out like other schools would.

I'll give you some predictions:
NCAA is letting them play because they gave a pretty stiff penalty given the infractions and they don't want to lose ratings (ie lose money.)
Some of next year's suspended players won't serve the suspension because they will turn pro. Pretty sure Posey will leave.
Tressel will be coaching the Buckeyes for years to come. He has no desire to go anywhere else.
None of these stories are a distraction for the team. Some players might be more anxious to show off talents if they are going to declare for the draft.
Ohio State wins this game because they are solid on defense and offense, not just offense.

You're crazy if you think any school would keep their players out of a bowl game if the ncaa didn't suspend them for this half-assed penalty. I don't think these players should be penalized at all for what they did. Why shouldn't they be allowed to profit a little bit from the millions of dollars they make for the universities? And all of you talking about OSU's record against SEC teams....that's called history.....there's not 'trend betting' when you're talking about totally different eras of football. That's comparing apples to oranges......I am OSU alum and I can't figure out why the Bucks are favored here. I see the Razorbacks winning by about 6 or 7. Hope I'm wrong.....but that's just my take.
