Conventional pundit wisdom back in August held that preseason No. 1 Georgia and No. 2 Ohio State were in a class of their own this season. Maybe that will still prove true come January.
No. 3 Oregon 32, No. 2 Ohio State 31 was even better than advertised, complete with seven lead changes, a successful onside kick by the Ducks, and a fire hose of big plays.
In his 55th career start across three schools, Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel made the nation's top-ranked defense look mortal, finishing 23 of 34 through the air for 341 yards.
This felt like a transformative performance a la Washington's Michael Penix Jr. in last year's mid-October Washington-Oregon classic.
