On the field during the Rose Bowl, Ohio State star defensive ends Jack Sawyer and JT Tuimoloau danced to the tune of Oregon's beloved tradition, Shout. This display highlighted the stark contrast in the camaraderie and energy between the two teams, where Oregon's players remained motionless, reflecting their crushed spirits after the significant defeat. The Ducks appeared to have lost not just the game but a piece of their identity as Ohio State hijacked their celebration.
The outcome of the game, a decisive 41-21 victory for Ohio State, further emphasized the lopsided nature of the match, which many felt was not only a reflection of the teams' on-field performances but also a commentary on the flawed College Football Playoff selection process. With Oregon's elimination, the tension around the conference's representation in the playoffs has been reignited, suggesting that the current system may need critical reevaluation.
