Both teams are coming off of very low scoring games with each team scoring just 10 points their last time out. Miami beat aTm 10-3 in the CFP first round while Ohio State lost 13-10 to Indiana in the B1GCG. So now they face each other with tOSU -9.5 and an O/U of 42.5. FWIW, Vegas is thus predicting something like a 26-16 or 26-17 Ohio State win.
Series history:
Ohio State leads the series 3-2 and won by far the biggest game in the series. Ohio State won the 2003 Fiesta Bowl aka 2002 BCSNCG 31-24 in 2OT. None of the other games involved NC contenders:

I think if OSU can apply pressure on Beck consistently, he'll rattle and they win rather easily.

I don't know how to predict anything involving OSU, as their most recent outing was so different than the rest of their season. Except for their defense, which was still obscene in a good way.
If Miami can't score, they can't win.

My GUESS is they win easily, something like 27-10, a never in doubt kind of game.
I find the Indy-Bama game more intriguing.

Indy might shutout the Tide

Agree. Ohio St wins easily.
