But it won't if Scott and the Cornhuskers Pop Ohio State this Saturday, right? It could happen.

Given the circumstances you are absolutely correct, and you also prove why this is not a Playoff at all. Having to impress the voters should be left to the Westminster Kennel Club.

Maybe they should all just switch jobs?

Unfortunately, I don't see Houston on the schedule.

You know it isn't us just taking shots at ESPN.SEC et.al by saying it isn't a Playoff, it's an Invitational. Because that's what it is, The Committee Picks the teams! Division 2 has a Playoff. The NFL has Playoffs. "March Madness" does have a Committee, and how the Conference Champs are decided is a separate issue, but they are included, and the Champ needs to win 6 games! ESPN calls it a "Playoff" but it is onlyin name.

With the protocols in place in 2016 tOSU was No.3 in the CFP. Penn State beat tOSU in their game, Penn State and tOSU finished tied for 1st in their Division. Due to their win, Penn State went to the Conference Championship Game, and beat Wisconsin, tOSU went to the CFP. tOSU lost to Penn State in conference, Penn State lost to Michigan in conference, 49-10 and had a non-conference loss to Pittsburgh, 42-39.

Excellent find, Charles, and the Tweet is very effective. The Tweeter is a self admitting Duck Hater and even he can see the joke that is Ohio State being above Oregon. Herbie & the ESPinners are just discounting that Week 2 game even happened. But the country isn't full of amnesiacs. Oregon Beat Ohio State at Ohio State without its Best Player! It will be fascinating to hear the blather if Ohio State is above Oregon on Tuesday.

I'm not saying the Ducks should go Independent. But Oregon needs to look after their own interests now, loyalty to the Pac-12 be damned. No other conference is interested in any of the other 11. If UW came along that would be acceptable, as long as they stayed in coach.

Oreg Oregon has been carrying the conference for a decade or more. SC thinks they still have prestige, but Oregon is the Brand. Washington? They should be good. ASU, Jake Plummer anybody. WSU is a novelty act. Stanford cares as much about Water Polo as it does Football, and Cal seems like a place for Old Ducks to hang out. Why are Colorado and Utah in the Pac-12? Oregon State, bless their hearts, tries hard, but they should be in the Conference with Idaho.

Great find. It's pathetic how ESPN caters to the bluebloods, in the casual chatter, tOSU is a given to ne in the CFP, Oregon, "Has no margin for error". Cincy is the Darling this season. During the Kellen Moore years, Boise State was more dominant than Ciny is this season. But Boise State is in far away, remote Idaho. Cincy is in Ohio. Big difference.

Who will ever forget the thrill of the Kemper Open?

I was just thinking before you posted this that Mario's response to Ty's performance was, "See"

Always have been. Now the public is salivating over Cincy. We have to become SMU fans, the Mustangs are @ Ciccy in 3 weeks, and Michigan State needs to lose to Purdue, Maryland or Penn State, but beat Ohio State. Nebraska could have helped the Ducks, but they lost to Michigan State in 2 OT.

He's certainly off to a good start. If he could replicate Marshall's versality the Ducks would be in great shape.

Washington 20 Stanford 13 An offensive explosion for the Huskies this season, Stanford led with 3:16 left in the 4th quarter, and now the loss to Stanford looks worse. Herm & the Sun Devils with their typical end of the season flame out lose at home to WSU, 34-21.

It makes sense to me, 52-29 is a better margin than Oklahoma has managed on a regular basis, The Ducks were in control the entire game.

Always the best week of the year. Beavs still a work in progress, and those crazy Cougars,

Head over here to make comments about the Colorado game.

Early in the 2nd quarter, Penn State leads tOSU, 7-3 and USC's record setting WR, Drake London was taken off the field on a cart.

Right now it looks like beating tOSU isn't enough to get the Ducks ahead of them, though Chris Petersen thought they should be.

We show the Beavs some respect and this is what they do? A fumble on their first play, and now they trail Cal, 17-3 with 9 minutes left in the 2nd quarter.
