More evidence that playing cupcakes all year long
is worthwhile. No penalty at all for VT playing one of the easiest non con schedules in the country
Why is it okay for some teams to play cupcakes all year
And not for another? BSU gets total crap for their schedule but the ACC and Big East skate right into the BCS.
ATQ's #1 fan of ATQ Guys
It’s a straight up double-standard. I would suspect that is why so many people call for an end to the Big East automatic qualifier status
--Dominic, Addicted to Quack
Autzen Stadium is where great teams go to die." - J. Brady McCullough, The Michigan Daily.
Their whole conference is full of cupcakes.
The ACC and Big East at least has more competitive teams. I’m guessing though.
"Last time I checked, there is no ‘Hall of Average.’ " Chip Kelly
ACC is pretty competitive, actually
While it doesn’t have a lot of great teams it has quite a few good teams and has a lot of parity. This was the argument for the Pac-10 after all.
The Big East is horrible, mind you. The ACC isn’t so bad.
VT nonconference schedule: Appalachian State, East Carolina, Arkansas State, Marshall
Freaking pathetic not a single BCS team in there
And to top it off, they barely beat a overranked Georgia tech and got killed by Clemson
both times they played them. Those are the only ranked teams VT even played.
Yikes. That is unreal.
The only ranked team they beat was Georgia Tech. They got spanked by an above average Clemson team, twice.
Winners of the Platypus trophy!
We will see what you say next year when we are in a similar boat.
"Last time I checked, there is no ‘Hall of Average.’ " Chip Kelly
At least our conference schedule will be tougher than theirs was this season.
Stanford will be ranked, Washington could possibly be a #20-25 caliber of team, and the winner of the south (USC) will be a fantastic team.
Not like it even matters, so long as you are in an AQ conference, an undefeated season will more often than not get you into the NCG.
Winners of the Platypus trophy!
Yeah, our non con schedule sucks but it won't hurt us unless there are
3 undefeated teams at the end of the season. Otherwise we should easily make it to a 4th BCS game at 10-2 or better
I agree completely.
But if the Pac ends up being average and this situation plays out we,will hear fans, much like yourself, complaining about the same thing you are. I’m not saying your view point is wrong. Just remember this could happen to anyone and may very well happen to us.
"Last time I checked, there is no ‘Hall of Average.’ " Chip Kelly
It kinda happened last year too
Our Nonconf schedule looked pretty crappy, all told. New Mexico (the worst team in FBS last year) Portland State and Tennessee which had a crappy season.
Stuff like that happens. I would love it if teams scheduled like Oregon and LSU (and really specifically, LSU) did this year, going out of their way for hard conference games – but things happen, people back out, etc. And honestly, nowadays why wouldn’t you; the risk/reward for playing tough competition is way too high on the risk side.
Yep. Even if there are three teams,
The NCG would be the undefeated SEC team, vs us (most likely). We will start out the season very high in the polls (so that should influence the human aspect of the BCS formula) so we will probably be able to steer clearly above a third undefeated team (who would most likely be a non-AQ school anyways).
Winners of the Platypus trophy!
At the top yes.
With all the incoming coaches and attrition I don’t see the Pac-12 getting much national recognition.
Especially if we continue our trend of strong OOC performances.
If we slip up we could find ourselves in a very similar situation. Granted we have more reputation to fall back on.
"Last time I checked, there is no ‘Hall of Average.’ " Chip Kelly
Just a reminder
They also barely beat Duke. Duke. Let that sink in for a bit.
Prince: This bores me. Is anyone up for a game of basketball?
weird.
Wonder if someone who was supposedly in didn’t make the cut in the rankings, like TCU or Michigan.

VT’s really only screwing over a 1-loss MWC team or 2-loss Kansas State. Doesn’t seem like a huge problem.

K-State deserves it more.
They played much more difficult competition and almost beat okie state. Only bad game was against Oklahoma
Your definition of "only" is a bit different than mine, OMB
If we were that two loss team getting fucked would you feel the same?
The "Beano Cook" of ATQ
TCU had 2 losses, both of them a result of their pride and joy failing utterly.
Their only hope was to go undefeated. Their BCS hopes were practically done the second RGIII decided to rip them to shreds.

I like Phil Steele’s projection of Utah vs Georgia Tech in the Sun Bowl. I always enjoy GT’s offense and I think it makes for an interesting matchup against a Utah team that didn’t exactly end it’s season on a high note
--Dominic, Addicted to Quack
Autzen Stadium is where great teams go to die." - J. Brady McCullough, The Michigan Daily.
Predictions?
Rose Bowl Game presented by Vizio: Both have Oregon and Wisconsin because that’s the game.
Tostitos Fiesta Bowl: Both have Oklahoma State and Stanford
Valero Alamo: Both have Washington playing Oklahoma.
Bridgepoint Education Holiday: Both have California playing Texas.
Hyundai Sun: Both have Utah playing Georgia Tech.
MAACO Las Vegas: Schlabach has Arizona State playing Boise State. Edwards has the Sun Devils playing TCU.
Kraft Fight Hunger: Schlabach has UCLA playing Illinois. Edwards has the Bruins playing Iowa State
Oklahoma State/Stanford would be a great game. Neither team should be able to contain the others offense. 41-38 Ok St?
Washington would get absolutely murdered by Oklahoma if they were to play. 44-17 OU
California/Texas would be the least typical Holiday Bowl ever. Neither team can score. 2-0 Texas.
Utah would get beat by Georgia Tech 30-13.
ASU would beat TCU, and it would be a toss-up against Boise State. 35-21 ASU
UCLA/Illinois. Yikes, neither team could be playing any worse right now. 31-21 Illinois.

At this rate next year, they will just crown the national champion to everyone in the SEC.
Why even bother playing for it when no one else gets an invite anyway?
I propose the SEC just be declared the best and break away from the rest of the teams.
Let them play with themselves all season. Throw in the Sun Belt for their OOC games. Have the top two teams play in their own BCS game.
Let the rest of us get on with our lives.
The "Beano Cook" of ATQ
to be fair to the SEC
I think LSU is clearly the #1 team in the nation and has proven it. They have beaten the best teams in their conference, the Pac-12 champ and the Big East champ – and the latter two were not even at home.
they have nothing to apologize for. LSU is exactly what a champion should look like regardless of what conference they are in.
Alabama, on the other hand, can eat a bucket of dicks.
That's fair to LSU.
Why do I want to be fair to the SEC, which is bottom heavy with crap teams?
The "Beano Cook" of ATQ
Because the SEC is both?
Because it’s not LSU’s fault that Alabama played them tough and better than any other team this year.
Because it’s not the SEC’s fault that any other contenders out there shot themselves in the foot in various spectacular ways.
Because every conference has horrible bottom feeders, but the SEC West has three teams with 10 or more wins.
Because saying that the SEC is bottom heavy and thus is unworthy ignores things like Colorado/Arizona/Oregon State.

I think Utah is going to whomp on Georgia Tech
• Utah has a very good front seven that stuffs the run
• They get a month to prepare for a funky offense
• Utah has won, like 8 out of their last 9 bowl games
• John White should be healthy, and GT is 80th in the nation in YPC against
I could definitely see Utah holding GT to under 10 points.

I agree.
It would take a lot to get me to care about Oklahoma State.
Winners of the Platypus trophy!
Playoff conversations have been going on forever now.
Conversing about a playoff system wont accomplish all that much. The BCSNCG is already contractually locked into being aired on ESPN through 2014, so I guess that we would unfortunately have to wait that long for anything to change.
I don’t intend to defend the BCS, but even in a playoff system some teams will inevitably get shafted. There isnt a completely foolproof way to organize a championship among 120 teams playing wildly different opponents.
Winners of the Platypus trophy!
Sad but true.
Fairness has nothing to do with any of this, especially once you get past 1 vs 2.
It’s never going to change, too many vested interests with big $$$ involvement who want to keep it this way,
The "Beano Cook" of ATQ
I disagree that legitimate contenders would get screwed in a playoff.
Most years there’s a team at 3, 4, maybe even 5 that can argue that they should be in the NC discussion. An eight game playoff would only take three weeks, and I’ve never seen a team ranked #9 that should have a chance at the title.
"You could almost imagine Ducks coach Chip Kelly walking to midfield among the bloodied Bruins and shouting in his best gladiator voice, 'Are you not entertained?'" - Ted Miller
You're right regarding the quality of teams at the top,
But since at-large bids into the playoff will inevitably be at stake, there will frequently be a #9 or #10 team that has a solid argument to get an at-large bid over the #8 team.
Winners of the Platypus trophy!
I think the Plus One format will fix most of the controversy
and it is by far the easiest model to implement
I would love to see this.
It’s so simple it’s sickening. Win your conference, Win your regional bowl and your in. You would think the BCS would be all for it, considering it would give them an excuse to have more top ranked teams in bowl games and make more monies.
"Last time I checked, there is no ‘Hall of Average.’ " Chip Kelly
What is the plus-one idea?
The conference champions plus an at large team (or something like that)?
Winners of the Platypus trophy!
I think it's matching up 1-4 and 2-3 in a couple of BCS bowls
and then having the winners play each other to declare a champion. I’m a big fan of the idea.

Play all the bowls as normal, then decide the NC game after that.
All the big teams get to play a bigtime game first, and hopefully answer some questions.
Addicted to Quack, #1 Oregon blog among female Duck fans, including the ageless and ever-radiant daisyduck.
That is an interesting idea, to say the least.
From a completely selfish and fan-based point of view, it sounds pretty fun. As PondJunky says below, it will clear up a lot of the NCG controversy, but we’re still stuck with the BCS deciding who gets to play in the NCG feeder bowls.
Winners of the Platypus trophy!
Some say it would degrade the importance of the BCS games.
Which i think is BS. If anything it will put more on the line. It would also extend the bowl season, which could be hard to deal with academically. Then again they could make the BCS bowls all on one weekend, say Christmas weekend, and make the Championship game two weeks after the bowls.
"Last time I checked, there is no ‘Hall of Average.’ " Chip Kelly
Wetzel had a good column about this yesterday.
Apparently Mike Slive of the sec proposed exactly this back in 2007 to the rest of the BCS and was laughed out of the room. The irony being that because they didn’t adopt the format, they ceded control of cfb to the Sec. The BCS NCG is now, by default, set up with one team being the winner of the sec, and the rest of the d1 teams battling the #2 sec team for the second spot. It’s nuts.
The "Beano Cook" of ATQ
To be fair...
that was when we had our awful commissioner, the Big 12 had THEIR awful commissioner, and it looked like USC and Texas were going to be dominant forever.
i think he should have the chutzpah to bring it to the table again, but he won’t because he’s rolling in all the NCG moneez.

Actually, I feel like this would only lead to more patsy OOC scheduling. Since conference games are the only ones that matter, why risk a loss or injuries in OOC? Just roll through a patsy schedule and then gear up for conference play.
I don’t disagree with your overall premise – I also think only conference champs should be eligible. However, I see problems there too.

Ive had a change of heart regarding byes for conference champions. Especially if it’s a playoff with 8 teams or more. Pick the top 8 teams, dammit.
The "Beano Cook" of ATQ
If it's gonna be an 8 team playoff, the regular season has to be shortened by a game.
For example, if the Ducks were to play in an 8 team playoff and advance to the championship game, the ‘ship would be their 16th game of the season. That’s too many.

There's so much money on the table, and has been for years..
That if it was only about money, it would have happened by now.
It’s about power, not money.
The "Beano Cook" of ATQ
It's about money
it’s not about power. It’s about money. It just so happens that the people whose money it’s about (the NCAA) make a hell of a lot more money with a bowl system than they do a playoff.
With a bowl system you get the bowl money, which is huge. You force teams to pay for ticket allotments; remember, both Oregon and Auburn LOST money going to the NCG even after the BCS payout, but the bowl group and the NCAA made tons.
The bowl system is bad for the schools as far as money goes. It’s bad for the conferences most of the time. It’s only good for the NCAA and to a very lesser extent the media contracts.
uh...
So what is time again?
There isnt a playoff because the people who could make it happen won’t because they’ll lose money. They (the NCAA) would be in power all the same. They wouldn’t lose any power, just money.
Why would they switch, again? And what does that have to do with power?

To be fair
the computers are kind of screwed. They can’t take into account Margin of Victory, so to them a 1-point win over Georgia Southern looks exactly the same as a 100-point win. Alabama has been dominant in their MoV. But Oklahoma has had a significantly harder schedule.
This year would have been a fine year for LSU to play the ACC champ and be crowned the #1 team in the nation afterwards, just like it used to be.
Truth be told, I have no issue with a rematch.
Just like I wouldn’t have minded a rematch against USC.
I do have a problem with the way the human voters obviously rigged the system to ensure ok state was fucked.

Wouldn't have helped
They basically played in one against Oklahoma. Winner takes the Big-12. And OK/OKST is a lot better than OKST/Nebraska or OKST/Kansas State as far as prestige goes.
Really, if beating the living hell out of a perennial superpower in the prime time game of the night doesn’t help you, nothing was going to help you.
So what does it prove if Bama wins at a neutral site?
Could Okst get voted #1 in the AP?
The "Beano Cook" of ATQ
In theory, yes
LSU would have to lose insanely badly and OKST would have to make Stanford look like a FCS school.
What’s more likely is that LSU loses and still gets the AP #1 vote.
Worst Championship Game Ever!
Really, truly. Not just a non-champ in the game for the third time, but a team that already lost to their opponent. Shameful. Now people need to do their part and just not watch the damned thing.

Addicted to Quack, #1 Oregon blog among female Duck fans, including the ageless and ever-radiant daisyduck.
If Ok State plays like they did against OU
It’s gonna be a good game, and OSU has a shot
OSU offense with a no running attack = Iowa State
I’ve heard LSU is pretty good at this run defense thing
You might recall
That LSU did just fine against a high speed, high tempo offense.
Put it another way: I don’t think that OKST is particularly better than Oregon. They certainly have a better receiver but I don’t think they’re any more explosive or dangerous than Oregon is. Why would you think that somehow they’d do better against LSU than Oregon did?
It’d be a lot more entertaining of a game to watch than Alabama/LSU, but I don’t think the outcome would be any different.
They should at least get a shot.

2006. Ohio State plays Michigan in the final game of the regular season (the original game of the century) and beats them by a field goal. (They actually put TD’s on the board though.) That left undefeated Ohio State looking between either a game that was a rematch with 11-1 Michigan or a game with 11-1 Florida.
Sound familiar?
P.S. The SEC bitched and moaned about the BCS back then, doing everything in their power to get Florida into the game. And when Florida was given the chance, they rolled Ohio State 41-14. Who says Oklahoma State wouldn’t do the same?
fuck the BCS.

I dunno I think it might move in Oregon's favor.
Wisconsin was exposed on the edges and hasn’t show it can match up well against Oregon at all
Well hold on a sec
I really don’t think Michigan State is as bad as everybody else does here. They have some speed on the edge and some great WRs. And Wisconsin’s D is better than Stanford’s overall, the stats bear that out.
We have the better rushing offense, they have the better passing offense. The only area where we have a huge advantage is special teams, they are very average in kick coverage and returns.
Prince: This bores me. Is anyone up for a game of basketball?
I just don't see Wisconsin's gameplan working against the ducks
Our defense is used to stacking the box and playing man on man coverage while their defense is going to have trouble with our offense. And Wisconsin looked like crap on kickoff coverage. DAT is going to be a huge weapon for us.
I could see them crushing us with play action
We really need to get pressure in the backfield, that will be critical. Wisconsin is much like Stanford in that they are an “on schedule” offense, we need to get some sacks and TFLs in the early downs to kill drives. I’m not overly worried about their WRs in 1-on-1 coverage, which will be good for us.
My main concern is that their defense is better than people think. Yards per play they are quite good. They don’t get many sacks or TFLs, but they are solid and don’t give up big plays either. I think you might be right however, the lack of big TFLs on defense may be a result of a D-line that isn’t explosive. If they don’t get us in the backfield, we will do very well.
The other thing is, I still don’t know how good Wisconsin actually is. They played a cupcake schedule. They looked good doing it outside of their tougher opponents, but I like the fact that we’ve been battle tested by several good teams (LSU, Stanford, USC), all of which are better than any team Wisconsin has faced.
Prince: This bores me. Is anyone up for a game of basketball?
Wisconsin looked incredible at home. They looked good, but were a significantly worse team away from Camp Randall. Hell, they lost their first two road games of the season, then struggled with a reeling Illinois team.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
And Wisconsin’s D is better than Stanford’s overall, the stats bear that out.
It really, really doesn’t. Wisconsin has played a worse schedule that BSU. We can’t look at any of their typical stats seriously. They have played a simply pathetic schedule.
According to S&P+, Wisconsin has the 49th ranked defense in the country. Stanford is 22nd. Oregon’s is 10th, btw.
According to FEI, Wisconsin is 24th, Stanford is 10th, and Oregon is 8th.

23. In (automatic; BCS conference champ)
Obviously, #7/#8 are the glaring ones. I feel bad for the K-State fans, and I feel really bad for Boise fans (though to be fair, I am one, so….)
At least, at the end of the day, I understand why Boise got left out. It’s a ticket-selling thing, and that sucks, but that’s what it is. It’s shocking to me that VaTech and Michigan both got selected over K-State. I just don’t get that.
If you’d have told me midway through the season that the Big 10 would get two BCS berths, I’d have laughed at you. If you’d have told me that the ACC would have two, I’d have had you committed.

Thoughts
How are Texas and Auburn ranked? They suck.
How is Va Tech ahead of Clemson? They got blown out twice.
After going through these standings
ND should at least be ranked. Losses to Mich, USC, and Stanford.
After going through this, I think computers put WAY too much importance on Conference rankings. It’s completely not fair to many teams. If you’re a mediocre team in a great conference, IE Texas/Auburn, you’ll get way over ranked in the computers, even though themselves have done nothing noteworthy, while a good team in a mediocre conference will get shafted, ie FSU, Virginia, ND, etc.
The computers absolutely adore Auburn and Texas, for some unknown reason.

"I love Oregon's obsolete recruiting report on an unhealthy level. Just more proof how balla Chip Kelly really is." Dr. Saturday
It's not that surprising of a reason
Auburn lost to the #1, #2 and #6 teams in the country. The other two losses were to Clemson (which is a good team) and Georgia. The computers don’t care about MoV, so Auburn’s close win over utah State doesn’t matter. All of those losses to really good teams don’t hurt them too much on the grand scheme of things. Beating Florida and especially South Carolina helps too.
Basically the computers don’t punish you for losses too badly if the loss was to a very good opponent. Which realistically should be correct. It just so happens that Auburn’s losses to good opponents looked horrible and their wins against meh competition also looked bad.
The Pac lineup is horrible...
even UCLA has a tough one with Illinois. There is not one matchup that sticks out as major favorite.

Now, two years in a row they lose their big conference game in the most heartbreaking fashion possible, and are shipped off to Las Vegas as a consolation prize. This year, they got left out of the Sugar Bowl in favor of a team that got blown out by Clemson twice, and doesn’t have a win on the schedule that can come close to matching Boise’s win over Georgia.

You know what’s awesome? When someone tries to smoke in their bathroom, and winds up causing 3 rooms to go underwater, 150K in water damage, a malfunctioning fire system, and takes a building’s entire afternoon to scramble to save people’s stuff
AKA my afternoon.
the fire department just now got the fire alarm to shut up
we cleared one girl’s room in about 2 mins, and then we were bailing water out the windows that was knee high for about an hour while more streamed down from 208 (smoker’s room)
essentially, not only did this dumbass try to smoke in his bathroom, he also had at some point knocked his fire sprinkler loose, so when it tried to “sprinkle” the water pressure caused it to come out of the ceiling, so the water just high-pressure gushed down. Now 3 people are out a room until further notice, he’s been evicted and will probably face some hefty fines/penalties, our electrical is shot, and the kitchen is OOO. College is AWESOME.

Seriously, this is a team that lost to Colorado – you know, a team that can basically only run the ball competently – and barely beat Washington State. Why would they be able to go up against a team that beat Clemson and played Georgia competitively?
UCLA should beat Illinois
Otherwise, agree.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
but which UCLA shows up? the one that played against us? or the one that played against USC?
Oregon loves you, Chip Kelly!
You know what would make that bowl really fun?
UCLA should hire Ron Zook, and Illinois should hire Rick Neuheisel.

You have a devious devious mind, PM
Oregon loves you, Chip Kelly!
I'mma try to quantify these somewhat.
Here’s my feeling of the certainty of a PAC-12 win, from 1 to 10 (where a 1 represents a near-certain loss and a 10 represents a near-certain win).
Wisconsin vs. Oregon: 5? I don’t know. I don’t think I can honestly evaluate our chances in this one, at least not yet. Vegas seems to think it’s maybe around a 6.
Oklahoma State vs. Stanford: I’ll go with a 4 here. I’m a ’Pokes lean because they remind me a lot of the one team that blitzed Stanford, but better in several aspects. That said, Stanford is still quite good.
Baylor vs. washington: 2, and I’m being generous.
Texas vs. California: 7. I think I like Cal’s chances here. Texas has absolutely no offense at all, and Cal should be able to keep them well under 20 points (while scoring 20 of their own).
Boise State vs. Arizona State: 3. I know that Vontaze could make things hard for Kellan, but they’ve just been so sloppy this year that it’s real hard to pick a headless ASU team over the Broncos.
GaTech vs. Utah: Uh, 5? This game’s a total enigma to me.

It'll be interesting
how Okie. St plays in the Fiesta bowl. Will they be inspired to win because they got left out? Or will they roll over and die because they don’t care – they got robbed of their chance?
by INducktrination on Dec 5, 2011 8:09 AM PST up reply actions
I'll say
Ore vs. Wis = Win
Ok St vs Stanford = Win
Baylor vs Wash = Loss
Cal vs Tex = Win
BSU vs ASU = Loss
UCLA vs Ill = Win
Utah vs G Tech = Win
I see losses on everything but us
OKST is a rematch of us vs. Stanford; good luck with that
Baylor/WA – HAHAHAHHAHHA sorry
Cal/Texas – Cal is not great especially away from home.
BSU/ASU – big loss
UCLA/Illinois – I can see this as a win, but I feel like its existence makes us all losers
Utah/GTech – loss
Rebuttal
OK St is a lot different than we are and a lot more susceptible to being run on all day. They have a bad run D. I see Stanford as being able to smash it down their throats all game and stop them just enough on D to win. Stanford will also be a lot healthier than when they played us.
Texas is not a particularly good team this year. Cal should be able to shut them down on D and score just enough. I also see Cal as being a lot more motivated to win this game than Texas.
GTech relies on their run game and Utah has one of the best run D’s in the nation. With the extra time for a bowl game I see Utah as being able to get used to the Tech offense and shut it down. Can Utah score some points (or Cal for that matter)? I’m thinking they’ll find a way.
My thoughts on the bowls
Burifct is going to try and eat Kellen Moore, it will amuse you.
The only problem I have with Baylor vs. UW is the chance UW wakes up after the game and fires Nick Holt.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Rose will ofc be the most interesting, will Chip finally get his first Bowl Victory?
Frankly if we don’t fumble the ball to Wisconsin 2-3times or play like last week it should be in the bag. The Defense Wisconsin showed against MSU was..a nice to watch :P
Fiesta Bowl: Oklahoma State vs. Stanford | I will enjoy seeing Luck get sacked :)
Sugar Bowl: Michigan vs. Virginia Tech | Haven’t watched a single Michigan game this season but it will be fun watching underdog VT kick some blue ass :)
I'm really intrigued by the BSU v ASU game
Moore has never really thrived under pressure and you know that with a couple of extra weeks to get healthy, ASU can bring pressure. I don’t trust ASU to pull a victory out no matter what’s at stake, but I’m interested in seeing how Moore handles a semi-competent defense.

He handled Georgia ok.
And they were pretty darn competent for a half against LSU.
Now with mustache guarantee!

They were also much worse in the early season.
It took them a while to really get going this year.

As an above comment got at,
I bet that with no head coach, Vontze Burfict will finally be back to his old self. You know, the player who incurs 15 yard penalties on back to back plays pretty regularly. If this is the case, Kellen Moore wont finish the game in one piece.

OT Jason Hanson has made 49 FGs 50 yards or over in his NFL career. Man, that's quite a stat.

After the Rose Bowl
My favorite is going to be the Alamo and watching RGIII trying deperately to get past the formidible Washington Husky defense. That is going to be AWESOME.

This off-season is going to be hard to get through, given how promising 2012 is looking. Sigh.
Oregon loves you, Chip Kelly!
But a Rose Bowl win
Will make it so much better.

Seriously the offseason afer the 2002 Fiesta win
Was so fun even though I knew it was post-Joey so now way we’d get close to that level anytime soon.

I think I replayed that game close to 40 times, no kidding
I had every line and play memorized for several years…

If the past is any indication of the future, I think we all know that there will be plenty to talk about this offseason. Sigh.

Question via Moseley
WITHOUT LOOKING DAMMIT (other wise you don’t get to give me flack for getting it wrong twice): Which four ducks will (presumably) have started 3 straight BCS bowl games after this season?

I know you're on twitter right now. You ruiner of fun, you.
"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
No I actually just guessed this in another thread on another site.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Hmph. I was wondering how many people would make the obvious mistake, but you...

I'm sorry
What’s the obvious mistake?
"the putz from that UO blog, Matt Daddy" - Steve Tannen
The Daily Faberian
It's on the offensive line.

Carson York?

Yeah
that’s the mistake I (and a lot of other people, from the looks of twitter) made.
"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
But he started that whole season didn't he?
Why didn’t he start in the RB?

Was that game Indiana? If so, you aren't allowed within 50 yards of the stadium.

I've already had a word with Moseley about capitalizing UW for the next month, and how it's going to lead to many people throwing things at their CPU screen.

No worries, it's part of my built in defense mechanisms
Welcome to the blog, looking forward to learning more about the U of W in the coming weeks

I prefer
Big UW, not Little uW. I use the same nomenclature with USC and OSU.

Best Case for Pac 12
Oregon and Stanford win. UCLA too?
UW, ASU, Cal seem hopeless. Utah- depends on which team shows up.
End of the day “total” record won’t mean a whole lot if Oregon and Stanford both win and 3 of the top 5 teams in the final poll are from the Pac 12.
I think Cal...
played very well towards the end of the year. It’s bowl season but, yeah, I am not feeling good about our win – loss records.
"I love Oregon's obsolete recruiting report on an unhealthy level. Just more proof how balla Chip Kelly really is." Dr. Saturday
I definitely wouldn't call Cal hopeless.
Seems like they have a great shot, particularly if their defense comes to play.
Somewhere, somehow, a Duck is watching you.
UDUB question for the educated duck fans...
I see alot of you on here and other sites saying UW has no chance against Baylor. Do you alot of you not realize that there is actually a worse D-coordinator out there other than Holt? Believe me, I was shocked to learn this as well. Baylor’s defense is ranked 114th overall and it took overtime for them to beat Kansas by a whopping ONE point. Now, with this new found information, do you still have the same thoughts? I am asking for real sports talk too, nothing bias just because I’m a Husky, as I can actually do the same towards the ducks team. For example, I think you guys will run Wisconsin out of the stadium. My reason, your defense has really stepped it up and the offense seems to be clicking and we all know when the ducks offense clicks, the scoreboard ticks.
There will never be a Husky free Northwest...never.
by ALLpurpleEVERYTHING on Dec 5, 2011 3:15 AM PST reply actions
Even if neither team plays defense, I'm not sure huskies can keep up with Baylor offense
Will be interesting to see, of course…
Oregon loves you, Chip Kelly!
Yeah, that's my real worry
It’s not the defense one way or another, or that Baylor will score points. it’s that I’m not sure I have faith that the Huskies can consistently score points on a team. I’m not sure that Price et al can do that compared to Baylor. And I think that Sark has a habit of getting a bit cute instead of going for the throat, especially early.
Ya I can
agree with that. I know alot of Dawg fans drool over Sark (Maybe even literally) but if there’s one problem I have with him, he can get too conservative. The thing I enjoy most about Chip Kelly is even when the odds are against him, that motherfucker will go for it. 4th and 8? Ahhh fuck it lets go for it anyways. Okay maybe not every coach should do that all the time, but that it was makes me nervous for this bowl game. Will Sark be able to maintain a lead…or even get one for that matter? His plays can be vanilla right from the gate, see: vs OSU.
There will never be a Husky free Northwest...never.
