On Monday, Jan. 12, Ohio State and the University of Oregon will face off in the first ever College Football Championship. Last week the Oregon Ducks downed undefeated Florida State and Ohio State shocked the nation by defeating top ranked Alabama to qualify for the finale, but who will take the title?
Sports analysts across the nation are focusing on offensive and defensive statistics, but we at VPI have a much different way of predicting the winner. We searched through our database of more than 525,000 insured pets to forecast the college football champion through pet name popularity! Below are the results:
According to “paw”pular opinion, Ohio State will emerge victorious. Oregon had strong support for legendary player “Joey” Harrington, but it wasn’t enough to tackle Ohio State’s mascot “Brutus” and famous alumni “Jack” Nicklaus. As for the stars of each team, Ohio State’s “Zeke” Elliot had more honorable monikers than Oregon’s “Marcus” Mariota. Do we hear an MVP chant?
