A quick look at the newspaper front pages following Ohio State's 42–20 win over the Oregon Ducks in the National Championship, starting with the winning papers.

First up, Ohio State's hometown paper, the Columbus Dispatch with a commemorative poster cover:

And now we turn to papers in the state of Oregon, which, understandably, carry quite a different vibe today. First, The Oregonian:
