  1. Looks like UCLA has hit an iceberg on the way to the BIG.

     

    So far, I think this makes four defections.  Although, you don't have to be a grad student to see this is probably a smart move.

    The former five-star prospect showed his potential early but struggled against Pac-12 opposition

    A jury must consider all the evidence

    Unfortunately, the Heisman jury seldom considers West Coast evidence and that may happen again.

     

    The good news is that when I am the Chief Justice of college football, I will be able to:

     

    1)  Direct the verdict to the proper winner.

     

    2)  Take away voting rights of anyone who didn't list Christian McCaffery No. 1 on their ballot.

     

    3)  Take away voting rights of anyone whose ballot is postmarked prior to the Monday they are due.

     

    4)  Take away voting rights of anyone whose ballot is postmarked at all, since no one should still be using snail mail.

     

    The bad news is that when I am Chief Justice of college football, I will eventually have to wake up.

  3. If we would have had this sort of potential chaos in prior years, an expanded playoff would have come about sooner.

     

    For instance, this year, if 'Bama were to beat Georgia, but FSU, Michigan and ewe dub (I know, ain't gonna happen, but bear with me) all win, they have to put 'Bama and all those 13 - 0 teams in and the two-time with one loss in three years defending Champ is left out.

     

    If that had happened in previous years, the next year the playoffs would have been expanded, or the SEC would have succeeded from the NCAA and held their own tournament.

     

    Of course, if the above happens, ESPN still has enough time and money to expand the playoffs this year!

  4. It doesn't diminish the regular season for me.  I live and die by every game.  If the Ducks are 2 - 2 (Good Gosh forbid) I'm still invested in game No. 5.

     

    I want my team in the hunt as long as possible, past a single loss.  And when that dream dies, watch them ruin someone else's season.

     

    Plus, it's only a matter of time before a 3 L team makes the 12-team playoff.  This year LSU is lurking at No. 13.  Another perk of going to the BIG is that it is one of the only two conferences that would get a 3 L team in.

  5. Reports surfaced suggesting that 10 schools are dangling name, image and likeness deals worth at least $1 million in front of the WSU quarterback, said to be considering a graduate transfer.

     

    Among them supposedly are Auburn, Oregon, Notre Dame, Texas A&M — and Washington. 

     

    Although no way to verify.

  6. Sarcasm alert. . .

     

    Sorry David, you lost all credibility when you included the sentence "It’s a credit to Washington for being the only team to make it through the regular season undefeated this year."

     

    And shame on your editor for letting it fall through the cracks.

     

    Other than that, fine article.

     

    In addition to the demise of the Conference of Champions as we knew and loved it, just like when Tricky Dick resigned, the press won't have the Pac 12 to kick around anymore.  

     

    So, I guess it is only fitting that the iceberg struck Pac12anic conference can best be described by the verb associated with one of the remaining teams, they "couged it".

    the first part is rough

    Thanks for the warning, I thought Charles was getting punked for the first few seconds.

     

    Kenny Wheaton scoring will never get old (that was my first game back at Autzen since graduating in '72), plus "the latest Browning pose" is priceless after Verdell's OT score.

  8. The Pac 8 was why I went to Oregon. . .

     

    I wanted to go to a Pac 8 school.  This was 1968.

     

    Stanford wouldn't return my calls.

     

    Cal was a too radical.

     

    USC and UCLA were in "LA", 'nough said.

     

    My sister was at ewe dub, the state wasn't big enough for the two of us.

     

    That left Oregon St and Oregon.  As the Knight Templar said to Indiana Jones when he chose the wooden chalice "you chose wisely".

     

    So, I too am very sad to see it go.  But, onward and upward.

     

    GO DUCKS!
