Ohio State is headed to the inaugural College Football Playoff Championship Game!
[ MORE: View our full 2014-15 bowl schedule ]
The fourth-seeded Buckeyes took down No. 1 Alabama, 42-35, in the Sugar Bowl on Thursday night.
Ohio State will face No. 2 Oregon, which drilled reigning national champ and No. 3 Florida State, in the title game January 12 in Arlington, Texas.
That should be a great game. Before we look ahead to the Ducks, though, let's see how the Ohio State family reacted to the big win over the SEC champ on Twitter.
Here you go!

We wondered if this team's roster could stack up with Alabama's. It most definitely can. Ohio State is elite again.

Wow, they did it. What a game. See you in Arlington, Texas. #BucksVsDucks

Alabama should hire Harbaugh.

Don't you wonder: How badly would Ohio State have beaten Alabama with Braxton Miller or J.T. Barrett at quarterback?
— Tom Dienhart (@TomDienhart1) January 2, 2015
The problem for the SEC is the population shift. And academics. And Big Ten Speed. Or something…
— Mike Hall (@MikeHallHere) January 2, 2015
Thanks to OhioState beating Bama the Big Ten now has a better record in the bowl (5-4) than the SEC (5-5).

What a coaching job by Urban Meyer. He is in the National Championship Game with his 3rd team QB. Best coaching job ever. Message to all!
