Now I think Oregon is a really good team, but they aren't beating UF, Bama, or Texas.

I just wish we had the chance to play against one of those three.... We just have to keep handling business each week and see where it all shakesout at the end. But as of now, i'm pretty confident in Oregon and I'd love to watch them match up against Florida. Rose Bowl FTL! I want to play someSEC teams which is damn near impossible unless we're #1 or #2 in the country and playing in the national championship... I DON'T want to play Iowa!

 

[MVP]

UF vs Oregon would be a great game to watch...there could be potential for points all over the board and they really run a similar type of spread offense. Ithink defense would be the difference though ala OU last year.

Amazing night.

You know why Gunna. Every year for the past 4 seasons it's always the same thing SC loses to a mediocre/bad team in conference play and run win the rest of their games and it's always "well SC is playing some of the best ball in the country of anyone and should be playing for the nat'l champ." Well this year, they did that again, but got blasted by another good team and so subsequently in the transitive property of SC always supposedly being great, the team that takes them down is put on a pedestal.

Now I think Oregon is a really good team, but they aren't beating UF, Bama, or Texas.

Oh and USC was definitely "EXPOSED"

"Exposed" of what? Having a terrible defense. If you watched the last two games (ND and Oregon State) you would know that are defensewas playing a tight rope act.

Oregon is impressive all around, and I don't see anything that Bama, Florida and Texas has done that makes someone go

. Bama's win over VTech is not looking as great as it did two weeks ago, butto their credit they did travel out of the confines of Tuscaloosa. Will we ever see how good Florida is? They never seem to play anybody good, their onlydecent opponent this season was LSU on the road. Other than that Florida's schedule is riddled by terrible opponents, their OOC is

. The same can be said with Texas, but I would give Texas some credit fordestroying Missouri and Oklahoma State, even though Missouri was overrated and Oklahoma State is a shell of it's former self.

You're flapping your gums like that Gator in your avy as if Bama, Texas and Florida are some unstoppable dominant force. I don't know about Bama andTexas, but I think Oregon will do well against Florida, being that they really don't have a passing attack to brag about. The only weakness is Oregonssecondary and Florida doesn't have enough weapons in the passing game to warrant respect, so stacking the box is highly possible.

I guess that is why they play the games right, 'cause on paper no one beats the SEC

Oregon's James and one of the best in the nation do not belong in the same sentence. While I do expect oregon to win next week, its not going to be acakewalk. People underrate Gerhart ALOT. If you saw the game against UCLA's defense, he ran right past corners who had angles. He's big,physical andcertainly belongs in the top 3 in the nation.

What is so funny? Watch the Big Game this year, and you'll be putting stonefaces at Cal's performance.

did you happen to notice the game last night? that wasn't a fluke... not to mention as i said when i posted the stats if you consider james' stats in 7games his yards are actually better per game and per carry... i'm just sayin... don't get me wrong, gerhart is a beast and def an awesome back but hereally isn't THAT much better than james... IMO

 

[vctry20]

Anyone else going to the game at Stanford this weekend?

I hope John Ohh is so I can %!*!% slap him

Boise State won't even be ahead of Oregon at the end of the season if they both win out so who cares?

Watch.

And you do know the Ducks were only .02 behind the Broncos this week in the BCS polls, right?

Voters may take head to head into account for a month after the game, but as time goes along teams change and voters recognize that. The ESPN guys alreadystarted talking about Oregon jumping Boise.

Teams like Utah, TCU, BYU and Boise State need to step up their OOC scheduling. They are already climbing uphill by playing in a"weaker" conference.

There is no excuse for scheduling Miami of Ohio, Bowling Green, UC Davis (D1-AA), Tulsa.

 

[statis22]

Contrary to what has been said the Oregon team that beat USC yesterday CAN beat UT. I have not been impressed with 1 UT victory all season, yesterday's Wincluded.

 

[Chester McFloppy]

People just need to calm down and take the games one at a time. All of this is hypothetical... Oregon is good for choking once they're on top, so none ofthe next 4 games are going to be easy wins.

The last line of this quote is how you can SUM UP college football every year...

It is a broken system that favors the conference with the $3 Billion TV contract with ESPN...

^I think the SEC is the best conference, but without a doubt that has some truth to it.

Have you seen Cincinnati's out of conference schedule? How is scheduling Southeast Missouri State any better?

The Big East as a conference is better overall than the WAC.

Unfortunately Cincinnati is from the Big East, a BCS conference. A conference that thanks it's lucky stars every night for having Miami,VTech and BC when the BCS contract was drawn up. Once those teams bounced to the ACC, that conference should've been kicked out of the BCS mix.

The Big East as a conference is better overall than the WAC.

While it is better than the WAC, it is still not good enough to warrant an automatic BCS bid.

Disagree with that. Why should the conference and the schools in it be punished for those that defected? This is where the issue of expansioncomes in. Rumors are swirling about Memphis

, Navy, Maryland (2015 atthe earliest) and Notre Dame if they give up the NBC contract which is unlikely.
