Ohio State and Oregon will face off in the college football championship on Jan. 12, but Jimmy Fallon has a sure-fire way to predict the outcome: puppies.

_The Tonight Show_ host brought out a bundle of adorable pups Wednesday night and had them choose between two food bowls, one emblazoned with Ohio State and the other with Oregon.

According to the puppies, Oregon will win. We’ll see if they’re right on Monday night, and they have been in the past: In 2013, the puppies correctly named the Baltimore Ravens as the winners for Super Bowl XLVII and correctly predicted that _Argo_ would win best picture. But honestly, who cares if they’re right? They’re just so _cute_.
