They made it to their Conference Title Game in clearly a much tougher conference than Notre Dame's. Oh...Notre Dame isn't in a conference are they? Not to mention, the closest iteration of a conference they played in was the ACC. Home of the weakest P4 conference by far. Furthermore, the Tide victory is an "in your face" moment for arguing Bama didn't deserve their spot. Especially since Bama erased a 17-0 lead. Question: how likely would ND be able to erase a 17 point lead against the playoff field? I don't mind giving the SEC credit. Especially when they display prowess legitimately. The conference dared giving Texas a tougher schedule, and Texas demonstrated what the conference is like when balanced scheduling is in play. Bama played nearly as tough a schedule, and matched Texas in eliminating Vandy as a contender-whom had a weaker conference schedule. Scheduling matters and Bama had a tougher schedule than Notre Dame. It was front loaded like ND, but they had more teams to get through, and they did. Not to mention, getting to the SEC Title game should be an automatic bid. If Vandy would have done that, I'd say the same. They would have had to win the two games they were guaranteed to be underdogs in. How many times is ND an underdog? That should be another factor involved frankly, because teams must demonstrate they can win games against a tough field, not just win games because they are pretty good. I had to lecture here, so pardon the soliloquy. Alabama absolutely deserved to be in the playoff in my opinion. A CCG game loss isn't the regular season. It is the post season. It is proof you belong amongst the best. Especially given Bama is in a pretty tough conference. Losing three regular season games makes it far more unpalatable to place a team from ANY conference in the playoffs. Even in a 16 team field in my opinion. Let's hope in the future, the SEC gets soundly rebuked if a three loss team in the regular season has the nerve to lobby for a playoff spot.

Ducks 38-7 4 2 312

It makes me laugh when I see those ‘letter-turned-into-number’ comments. They’re usually made by beaten, frustrated fans who - if they stopped to consider what they are saying - would make them less than zero?

I agree with this. If he’s healthy now, I still think this JMU game would be great to work Stewart back into game shape; warm the engine and parts back up.

***Ducks ***45-13 ***3 sacks ***2 forced turnovers (1 fumble recovery, 1 interception) ***288 passing yards

Great comment about context. Totally agree. I understand the view from other posts that say “how can an 11-1 season not be a success?” My reply: A loss to JMU.

My nightmare is tosu, but if Oregon wins the championship, I’d want it beating tosu . . .

I try not to get ahead of myself. What’s already happened speaks for itself. What’s yet to happen just creates anxiety if it gets me into expectations. I prefer goals. However, when it comes to what makes for a successful season, I can’t really separate the two without feeling like I’m not looking at the bigger picture. So, my definition of a successful season is seeing the team carry on into the playoffs what they built during the regular season. No one can know how the unexpected will affect a game, but - win or lose - if the Ducks are playing their game, it’s a success. Of course, that has nothing to do with desire. I want to see them beat the crap out of everyone.

It really sucks watching two teams with identical colors. White and dark red. Even the head coaches are nearly indistinguishable.

Unbelievable. The kicker missed his first and last field goals for the year and made every other one in between. Oklahoma deserves to lose this game. Too many mistakes. I really hope Indiana wipes the floor with Bama next week.

Both of these teams looked shaky tonight. Hats off to Bama, but OK did all it could to help Bama come back in this game. I like Indiana in the Rose Bowl vs. Bama. And following the Massey composite rankings, I think Indiana, Ohio State, and OBD are 1, 2, and 4. A nod to No. 3 Texas Tech, but I see OBD winning a hard-fought Orange Bowl game. (Knock on my head 😁)

Alabama's starting running back would be in the transfer portal at Oregon. He's crazy slow and bad vision. And the announcers are talking like he's playing with so much burst now that he's rested. And Oklahoma's passing scheme is doodoo. Half the time there is nobody on side of the field Mateer is trying to throw to.

Likely no EStew, but i think we'll be okay. DL is constantly saying they keep them out to protect them, he likely doesn't think we'll need him for JMU. No disrespect to JMU, they're a good defense but we ran for almost 8 YPC against Iowa, we don't need another outside weapon if get Dak back. However seeing his name means if we win hes a lock for the TTU game.
