I don't know. Maybe, maybe not.  Here's the final NCAA FBS total defense stats of the teams Oregon has played:

8, 89, 97, 103, 63, 78, 121, 3, 58, 111, 74, 103, 61.  The 8 is Michigan State (w 46-27) and the 3 is Stanford (w 45-16.)  Average of 74th rank defense of 125 teams.  

Good production against Michigan State and Stanford.  But, the rest of the defenses they played are below average.   So, if Ohio State's improving defense, which played really well against Wisconsin and Alabama, can hold Oregon to its average against MSU and Stanford, 45.5, we win. I think OSU's defense holds them to 35.  

OSU will score 50 on that defense.
