One thing we know: Oregon can't play defense worth a lick.

Oregon's biggest problem going into the BCS title game is that they have to get there first.

Bingo.

Well...then Oregon went to the farm and put a bad hurt on Furd. Stunned silence was heard on the farm.

Likely the Ducks will stomp Stanfurd again.

lol

Yeah, congrats to Stanford.

They had a good plan, played excellent, and caught us at the right time.

The Ducks had their chances, and they were unable to take advantage of them due to superior Stanford play and several missed opportunities.

I thought that Chip would have a game plan expecting Stanford to take away the run. Like a lot of Duck fans I am surprised he called so many runs that resulted in 3rd down passing required. The missed field goals...were actually predictable, Oregon fans know that that kicker can't hit anything outside of 30 yards. He blew it for us last year, and now again. But, the lack of adjustments by Chip and the offense were the real nails in the coffin.

Anyone who knows college football know how brutal it is, and how college kids can make mistakes and, "Bob's your uncle" dream season over."

It is interesting to note that Oregon loses in November so often, and it is usually around mid terms / week before TG.

If you check my posts from last year and earlier in the season, you see my mentioning that if they have a trap game, or an upset, it is likely to come near mid-terms/TG.

Sure enough...

Yeah, I was thinking they might handle Stanford, and god knows they got the turn-overs and the ops... A missed block, by DAT, and no TD on MM big run early. A near pick 6 late, game over. Missed field goal...should gone for it on 4th...with that kicker...absolutely knew he would miss...because that is what he does.

Oregon had the ops to take control of this game, and failed, and Stanford helped them fail.

I didn't see how they would get through Stanford, OS, and UCLA...

Typical Pac 10/12 beating up on each other.

They had the chance to win it, which is more than K-State can say.

Having lost the Pac 12 south to their chief rival, USC's real bowl game is next week. And they will play like it. I fear a SEC-SEC matchup for the second year in a row. Not that I'm a huge ND fan, and they have skirted through some games they probably shouldn't have won, but I hope I'm wrong.

It's okay "Coach d," everyone here already has you pegged for 100% azzhole.

You can go to sleep tonight with the full comfort of knowing you are an azzhole.

Enjoy!

No one, and I think this includes SEC fans, wants to see a second SEC team in the title game. You're right. It's going to be TOUGH. But I hope you're wrong...

...whoops.

To be fair, though, it wasn't Oregon's defense that cost them the game.

Very true. Last year was a fluke--it took a Crazy finish to engineer the rematch and only worked because so many people felt (correctly) that Alabama was really the best team in the country. Nobody is making that case for Florida. The best possible matchup is the SEC champion vs. the top team from outside the SEC (I would love it to be Oregon). That way nobody at the end is whining about how the "real" best team didn't get a shot. A playoff can't get here soon enough.
