OKLAHOMA -7 W
For me, this is all about Baker Mayfield...I can't see going against him and that Sooner offense.
AUBURN -120 Double Play L
The way this team is playing right now, I have them winning the National Championship. They are firing on all cylinders, are playing with a lot of confidence and are very well coached! In the first match-up vs Georgia, Auburn totally dominated them.....First Downs 25-13....Rushing Yards 237-64 and Total Yards 488-230. Auburn's young QB looked great vs Georgia and Alabama. This game would be a No-brainer for me if the Auburn running back Kerryon Johnson was 100%, but from what I've gathered he is probable and will at least play.

OHIO STATE -6 Double Play
For the life of me I can't explain Ohio State's game vs Iowa when they were annihilated in Iowa City 55-24. And frankly, even if they win the Big Ten I don't think they belong in the playoffs this year with a loss like that. But with that said, as of right now they are still the best team in the Big Ten. Now if Wisky wins this game, I will certainly concede to the undefeated Badgers, but I don't think they will. When you talk about Ohio State's "bad" loss at Iowa, you also have to mention the next game vs the #13 team in the country at the time Michigan State who the Buckeyes blew out 48-3 and frankly the game wasn't as close as the score! Then they followed that game up by hammering Illinois where the halftime score was 38-0 and I'm not sure if the Fighting Illini even had a first down! Then the game IN Michigan, where Ohio State got off to a slow start and was down 14-0, but outscored the Wolverines 30-6 the rest of the way.
Now there is no denying that Wisconsin has had a great year, going undefeated. But I don't think that Wisconsin will be able to stop Ohio State's offense. I realize the Badgers have the #1 rush defense in the Big Ten, but the Buckeyes rushed for over 200 yards vs Penn State (#5), 335 yards vs Mich St (#2) and 226 yards vs Mich (#6). When I look at the two offenses, I see they are fairly equal when rushing the ball. Ohio State is #1 in the Big Ten at 250 yards a game for a 5.9 average per carry and Wisconsin is #2 in the Big Ten at 243 yards a game and a 5.3 average per carry, but where there is a BIG difference is in the passing game....Ohio State has 37 passing TD's and only 8 INT's and Wisconsin has only 21 passing TD's with 13 INT's.....big advantage to the Buckeyes.
There is a reason the #8 team in the country is giving the #4 team in the country 6-7 points on a neutral field. Then there's that one category that you just can't handicap and that is turnovers. If Wisc wins the turnover battle, Wisc will probably win the game. My money is on Ohio State -6 as a Double Play.
