Ohio State Buckeyes' defensive coordinator Jim Knowles will have a lot on his plate against the Oregon Ducks, especially with this dynamic duo.

Ohio State lost to Oregon on Oct. 12, but the Buckeyes get another crack at the Big Ten champs when the teams meet again in the Jan, 1 Rose Bowl

The first round of the College Football Playoff took place last week, and a lot of people were disappointed with the results as there were a lot of blowouts. Now, the quarterfinals are set, and there are supposed to be some terrific matchups as the teams that originally had byes will be in action.

The first round of the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff is over, and boy, howdy, were those games underwhelming. They were so bad -- HOW BAD WERE THEY? -- they were so bad that it led to every talking head in the college football universe complaining and arguing about the format with some even saying wins aren't that important.

College football's 12-team playoff rollout was spoiled by the NFL, with the Texans-Chiefs getting 15.5 million viewers while the SMU-Penn State game averaged 6.4 million. The Steelers-Ravens game drew 15.

Ohio State signed transfer offensive tackle Ethan Onianwa from Rice on Tuesday, the second offensive lineman it has added from the portal this month.

Ohio State has signed running back CJ Donaldson Jr. as a transfer from West Virginia, the school confirmed Monday. Donaldson rushed for 2,058 yards and 30 touchdowns over the last three seasons with the Mountaineers, including more than 700 yards in 2024 and 2023.

Oregon and Ohio State have already produced one heck of a game this season. Now, the top-seeded Ducks (13-0) and No. 8 Buckeyes (11-2) are gearing up for a rematch more than 10 weeks later in a College Football Playoff quarterfinal game at the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day.

The rematch is set. The No. 1 Oregon Ducks (13-0) will take on Ohio State for the second time this season and the 12 time in history in Wednesday’s Rose Bowl playoff game. Ohio State won 42-17 over Tennessee during Saturday’s first-round playoff matchup to advance to the quarterfinals to face the Ducks.

The Ohio State Buckeyes are preparing to face the Oregon Ducks in the Rose Bowl in what they hope will serve as some desirable revenge. Remember: Oregon defeated Ohio State back in Week 7, handing the Buckeyes their first loss of the season.
