The player on Auburn most responsible for their win over Oregon in the championship game wasn't Newton. It wasn't Michael "Dyer was down". It was Nick Fairley. Do the Ducks have their Nick Fairley in Derrick Harmon? Harmon is the prototypical SEC player and now he's playing at Oregon.

Pritchard "Owns" the Huskies!

You're probably right, avoiding legal squabbles is enough to play the game every once in a while. But for the foreseeable future, big brother, Duck is about 20 years old and little bro, Beav is 6 years old.

1995 Oregon @ UCLA The "Pick" was, "The most improbable ending to a football game!" But, a year later, this ending, was literally the ending of the game, and the Ducks are wearing the uniform combination Jordan Kent says he wants to see, on "Talkin' Ducks". Next game is at UCLA.

That's what Softy keeps telling his listeners.

Petersen & DeBoer and DeBoer did cause some pain. But the Petersen team was so consumed by their hate towards the Ducks that they piled on 70 points, complete with Browning showing Husky class by wagging his finger at the Oregon player. You wrote in your article that it's a rivalry when the W's are pretty even, Oregon is currently ahead about 20-6. In a while, with the Huskies on their third or fourth coach, they might win a game or two.

If somehow Oregon's schedule has an opening in the first three games, then yeah, play Oregon State at home, Oregon should never play a game IN Corvallis again. Oregon doesn't owe Oregon State anything. Oregon State fans do hate Oregon. The hate consumes them. Washington is consumed by hatred for the Ducks too. Can't go to any Husky site and not see, "It's all Phil Knight", the Uniforms, anything else to cloud over that Oregon leads the series since the mid 80's. An Oregon loss brings a bigger grin to Washington and Oregon State fan than a win by their team. I'm completely indifferent to Oregon State, couldn't care less what they do. Washington is in the BIG, so some relevancy there. USC, that's a rivalry.

October 1, 1994, Oregon @ USC. Tony Graziani filling in for Danny O'Neil at QB, Ducks win, 22-7.

Currently, OSU-4.5

I have my score for Oregon @ UCLA, don't take it!

When Sark left to go to USC in 2013 it was the day of his Husky Coach's show. It started and the hosts waited and waited, but he never showed up.

They shouldn't be ranked above Nebraska, who also has a shiny new QB.

2007, the season that could have changed everything. As much as a player had the Heisman and the team had the Natty wrapped up by game 10, it was Dixon and the 2007 Oregon Ducks.

The fascination with Miami is all about Cam Ward. If the U had the QB from last year, they'd have the same record as they do now, Oregon State would be undefeated if they had played Miam's schedule, but they would still be ranked in the 'teens in the poll. But the brand new QB transfer has all the pollsters excited. My hesitancy to think Mario can keep this going is countered by just how soft Miami's schedule is.

Yes. The Ducks don't play USC, so come on Michigan, defend the Big House, beat the Trojans!!!

I agree generally about early season rankings. Except you're right, Oregon State losing to Purdue probably would hurt Oregon. Miami will play better teams than they've played so far, but L's are unlikely. Because they are being so lauded now if they do somehow lose it will be a slight drop.

Early in the article, the writer says, the BIG and SEC are monopolizing the rankings like never before. Usually, I agree with this sentiment, but not this time. He notes that Oregon's No.9 is a bit high, SC at 11, a bit high, but Miami at 8, is too low! Clearly, he was caught in a hurricane and being pelted by coconuts when he wrote this. Georgia was more impressive in its win over Kentucky, than Miami has been in any of its wins. Same with Nebraska and Indiana and Illinois.

Yes. Both of LSU's wins are more impressive than the U's. The Trojans have faced tougher competition, and even without playing Oregon or Ohio State this season, have a tougher schedule than Miami's. Clemson rode to the top of the old format on ACC's schedule and Miami is going to do the same.

Oregon-Arizona 2009 Epic! A lot of Jeff Maehl and Nate Costa's snap save on the extra point that sent the game to OT!

Bucky Irving wasn't on the LMJ, DAT level, but he had more breakaways than this year's flock.

The reactions of the Kansas State fan and coaches after Dat returned the opening kickoff in the 2013 Fiesta Bowl is priceless.

It's not really where he has Oregon, that's fine. But Miami at No.3? USC deserves that more than Miami does. The Trojans have a W over LSU, Miami has beaten, Florida, Florida A & M and Ball State, and their schedule doesn't get much harder for the rest of the season! Georgia sleepwalked over Kentucky, but still played harder tan Miami did in their 3 games.

Open your mouths and say, "O"

The best team they've played so far is UCLA, so there's that. But they have a good shot at being 6-0 when they get Nebraska at home after a Bye.

This encapsulates my interest in the goings on at Beaversville. The coach's post-game comments go right there with, "refurbished" Reser Stadium. Put lipstick on a pig.
