The Ohio State Buckeyes are just two days away from one of the biggest games in program history against the Oregon Ducks in the first-ever College Football Playoff championship game.
Talking with the assembled press on Saturday's media day, there were plenty of one-liners to go around from an excited (yet seemingly not nervous) Buckeyes squad.
Buckeyes DE Joey Bosa says OSU is ready for Oregon's lightning-speed attack...

Along with on-field prep, QB Cardale Jones says the team has been studying diligently:

For defensive tackle, there is plenty to be savored despite the program's high expectations:
Michael Bennett- "20 years from now, we're still going to be able to say we were part of the first championship."

Regardless of those expectations, coach Urban Meyer wants his players to step back and take a look at where they're at:

In fact, several of Ohio State's players were in a joking mood just a couple days away from the biggest games of their lives:
Michael Bennett- "I'd love to be like JJ Watt, but I don't think I have the body for that."

Cardale -" I shoulda never walked out on your mom all those years ago" joke to Tyvis Powell when he was bugging him during interviews."
