Curse is probably over... Indiana looks focused and Bama looks lost. Probably the Oregon v Indiana rematch.

Oregon Shuts Out Texas Tech, 23-0Wins are all that matters in the playoffs, and the Ducks advance Addicted To QuackOregon Shuts Out Texas Tech, 23-0Wins are all that matters in the playoffs, and the Ducks advance

Also a great one with the Duck doing push-ups wearing a tortilla blanket

No. 5 Oregon's Orange Bowl shutout of No. 4 Texas Tech shouldn't overshadow QB Dante Moore's poor playWhile the Oregon defense was simply sensational with four turnovers, its offense left a lot to be desired. The Ducks were 4-of-19 on third down and had 15 first downs the entire game. Fortunately for them, quarterback Behren Morton (18-of-32 for 137 yards and two interceptions) and the Red Raiders offense were even worse, paving the way for a comfortable College Football Playoff quarterfinal win.

Well... I don't think Indiana's defense is going to be any easier than TT's. Next game, if our offense doesn't show up, we'll be headed home.

Our Defense got a lot of help by their QB's incompletions. And I can't fathom why we would continue running into the middle of their defense and also risking Dante with runs, most or all of which did not get a first down. He was limping at one point in the 2nd half. Shaking my head.

Had to post it lol

Karen better figure something out quick or this game will be over by halftime.

DeBoer is looking lost on the sideline.

Simpson wasn’t sliding. He was getting dragged down. That run should’ve been a first down.

Dan Lanning has brought a trophy back home to Eugene in every year he has coached at Oregon. Chip would’ve done the same if the Pac-12 gave out trophies prior to 2011.

DL gave the byline for Ducks vs Them in the immediate post game interview: "Pound of flesh" The next OBD meal will be a pound of peach flesh at the end of next week

Texas Tech's Defense is legit. Texas Tech's offense is a fraud and benefited from a weaker schedule and their defense being elite.

TX Tech has a tremendous defense. On D, TT had many NFL players on the field today. That was an old school LOS battle. The only disappointment I have, the Orange Bowl was not sold out. These two teams deserved Moore, and More.

Which will be the bigger storyline… 1st round byes or B12 weakness?

Bama’s inability to run the ball will catch up with them against this defense.

The way this is all run is pure insanity. I’d like to see two things happen. The first is pushing the transfer window’s start to after the CFP is over. The second is to take control of how players are paid by moving the mechanism out of the hands of NIL and giving it to the schools. From there you would create a salary cap and contracts that could span multiple years (reducing the insanity of the portal). If I had to choose one it would be the second as it would calm down the churn and you’d create some interesting roster decisions as well as create a lot of parity (making a 16 team player playoff a lot more competitive).

Somebody needs to break the so-far 0-6 playoff 'Bye' curse. Perhaps it will be Indiana.

It's also the holidays in there as well. Those are some massive distractions because they are distractions for everyone.

Two down ....Two to go!!!!!! Go get it Ducks!!!!!!!

If everyone knew before the game that Dante would throw for 234 yds, get sacked twice, throw a pick, get no TDs and Oregon would rush for well under 100 yds, would folks have predicted that win? Give TT credit for having a defense that was as advertised. One can quibble about overly aggressive 4th down attempts, specific play calls and not taking the dang points!!! All valid observations that will get examined at the doctor visit. But the defensive game plan and execution was otherworldly and that glass is a lot more than half full going into the semis.

TT’s scoring defense came in averaging just under 12 points per game. Ducks doubled that. Their scoring offense came in averaging over 44 points per game. Ducks blanked that. I could not ask for anything better.

It would be a good first step to get rid of the league championship games. For one, a team takes another loss possibly pushing them out of the playoff. And of course that weekend could be used as a bye week for the start of a 16 team format (or be used for first round games). The long layoff is ridiculous and isn’t fair to the higher seeded teams. I’d like to see games where each team is at their best.
