Buckeyes (-) over Trojans- A pair of national powers that had aspirations of participating in the Final-4 will vent their frustrations in Dallas in this marquis matchup. Quarterbacks are always a key factor when schools of this caliber meet with one being a sure-fired pro in San Darnold of USC while his Buckeyes counterpart may not be a pro but he knows who to put points together in the college game. Ohio State puts up 42.5 points per contest while the USC average 34.5 per game. On defense is where the true difference shows as the Trojans give up 26.3 points while the Buckeyes keep opponents under 20 at 19.9. Add that urban Meyer is 14-3 straight-up and ATS with rest against non-conference opponents! Take OHIO STATE!
