Yes, even a bunch of wet dogs can be useful, this article from Duckswire by Zachary Neel tells how Washington gave Oregon a big boost in their chase for the Playoffs. Five Thirty Eight Sees Oregon's  Playoff Chances Soar After Win Over Washington

Which is the solemn oath everybody on the Committee takes before every session, "Thou Doest No Harm To Any Team In The SEC"

Yep, this is the one with the lowest probability.

I feel better and better about the win over the Huskies as it gets farther away. That was truly an Ugly win, but more aesthetically then in the Ducks performance, where as you noted, Duckman, after the early interception, the Ducks were in control, except for the Refs.

So, the two teams that believe they pillars of Pac-12 football history can't seem to find a coach. True or False: Jimmy Lake is a worse head coach than Clay Helton? Matt Zemk Trojanwire

It is sounding like DeJaVu all over again. Being scared is being aware.

Having Alabama at No.2 in the initial rankings had some strategy involved, Alabama should need "Style" as much as any other team, Oregon came out of a storm with a win on the road, No. 2 looks like a good fit.

Everything is better after beating the Huskies, everything feels better, tastes better, smells better, sounds better

James Crapea of the Oregonian has the details. Oregon Women's Basketball All Pac-12 Guard's Endyia Rogers (Broken Left Hand/ Arm), Te-Hina Paopao out for 'the foreseeable future.'

This is what Mario wants; a tough, physical "1-0" team runs the table, and rests their fate in the hands of The Committee. They beat an inferior Washington team in a storm on the road and next face the Pac-12 poison oak, Washington State. I agree with Charles, I'm glad that the Ducks are playing WSU next and not Purdue, and probably Utah instead of Michigan State the week after that. Each week gets more and more intense. A big difference between this year's teams and Chip's is that as soon as this year's team gets a lead I wish the game was over, it's a much different panic/pleasure experience.

It couldn't happen to a more deserving fanbase than the Husky faithful who didn't realize that it does rain in Husky Stadium. This article from Duckwire shows why Duck fans are so fortunate to have Mario. Jimmy Lake's Endless Mistakes Should Make Oregon Fans Fall in Love With Mario Cristobal All Over Again.

Alright, Heather!. Programming note, tomorrow on "Get Up" early on ESPN, Heather and SEC pumper, Paul Finebaum will debate this, if NFL heavy, then tomorrow. Good point about Alabama getting 6 yards on the ground against LSU. Alabama already got No.2 with an L, there were NO style Points in their win at home, in nice weather, over LSU.

No sweat. Either a stifling performance from the Ducks D, or an Over/Under of 83.5

I'm impressed that Softy caught the error.

It was a great day for Herbert and the Chargers, ending a 2 game losing streak, with a 27-24 win at Philadelphia. The win keeps the Chargers tied with the Raiders for 1st Place in the AFC West. Herbert led the Chargers on a last minutes drive ending with a game winning field goal with :02 left on the clock.

Not a good time to be a Coordinator in the Pac-12 North? After Stanford's defensive no show against Utah how secure is the Cardinal's DC feeling? I could see the UW move, but this from OSU is a surprise.

He is definitely a great recruiter and I think that is part of what I like about him so much. Mario bleeds green and yellow. The players saw it back when they pretty much convinced Mullens to hire him, and sometimes an AD will throw out that endorsement immediately. He has much to learn about being a head coach, not surprising. Saban changed his outlook after years of experience because he realized he had no choice if he wanted to keep winning, He's made more shifts this season than in the other years here combined. He wants to be here, and I'm glad for that.

The gift that keeps on giving...though I'm not sure for how much longer.

I agree, my original comment was just a shot at the hot air coming from the Washington fans more than from Lake.
