Win out and we're in. Except if LSU wins out including the SEC CShip. They'd be the first 2 L power 5 Champ to make it along with a 1 loss Georgia, an undefeated Big 10 champ, and undefeated TCU. However, the LSU team I saw last night gets trucked by Georgia in the SEC CShip. So, run the table and get the rematch?

I agree I think we would beat them. However, if they run the table, including winning the Big 12, they should be in = Power 5 undefeated champ. Just like if we run the table and win the Pac 12, we'll be ahead of Tenn even if they win the rest of their games.

Pac 12: Ducks win with style points (Duh, rinse and repeat the rest of the season) Beavs over ewe dub UCLA over ASU USC over Cal Utah over AZ WSU over Stanford since we barely beat WSU Top 10: Georgia over Tenn as big as possible Northwestern over OSU (we can dream can’t we) Rutgers over Michigan (we can dream can’t we part 2) LSU over ‘Bama ND over Clemson Tex Tech over TCU Others: North Carolina /Virginia (don’t care as long as NC makes it to ACC title game since they have the best chance of beating Clemson) Illinois over MSU (they have the best chance of beating BIG East winner) Syracuse over Pitt (keep winning in case Clemson stumbles twice, we can dream can’t we part 3) Texas over K State (eliminate a 1 loss Big 12 champ)

59 - 10 Ducks 4 TOs 4 sacks 285 pyds

I think Jon Wilner did a piece on the contractual obligations of ESPN, Fox and the Pac 12 Network in regard to showing teams. So, maybe this is Colorado's bone for the year.

To me, Lanning rumors as well as Dillingham rumors are a bunch of NOISE and personally won't be wasting my time reading or listening to them. They are in my "life's too short" category. If, or when it happens, we move on . . . see Chip, Hef, Willie & Mari And we don't need no media deal to keep coaches, we have Phil et al. Did any previous coach move on because of money or lack of money for assistants? That would be a resounding NO!!!

Per Jon Wilner, pay site: "What we do know is this: The regents have the authority to rescind the decision — and seemingly could do it without a vote or approval of the full board." Hopefully the Regents read Mr. Walton's "spot-on take".

Why Oregon could be most interesting team in College Football Playoff race WWW.ESPN.COM After losing 49-3 to Georgia, Oregon was all but an afterthought. But since then, the Ducks have rallied behind Dan Lanning, so how might the CFP committee evaluate them?

I think Chip will always get credit for a high-octane Oregon offense regardless of who is coaching it and what the nuances are, and I am fine with that.

Looking to the future, my Cristobal (which thankfully is now in Miami) says no bonkers this year.

I hope Bo doesn't get sued for getting his former coach fired.

College football expert says Oregon ‘very much’ feels like an SEC program SATURDAYOUTWEST.COM How does Oregon compare to SEC programs from an experience standpoint? 247Sports' Josh Pate says the Ducks 'very much' feel like an SEC team.

Oregon vs. Colorado: Ducks open as massive favorites in Boulder DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM The Ducks are massive favorites on the road against Colorado next week. It feels like a spot where they want to dominate the Buffaloes from start to finish.

56 - 17 Duck crew in a boat race 3 TO 5 sacks 285 passing yds

That's right, and don't wake me.

Over at the half, TT and JB both get reps in the second half.

OSU & WSU, don't want Utah interfering with our recruiting. And Cal . . . take that ucla to your BIG basement.

I did notice that early in the last drive we weren't using the whole clock, 15+ seconds left when snapped. I supposed that was a blend of bleeding the clock but keeping some tempo for momentum.

Scroll down to see George K's response. Plus "Schools cannot provide free contract review services to athletes, unless it is open to the general student body." Well, that's an easy end-run, offer it to all students. How many non athlete-students are presented with contracts while a student?

Hate to say it, sounds about right.

Same for Mrs. Steven A (45 years in the making) P.S. Pregame shot

I prefer 8, no byes. Byes are a two-edge sword. The team that gets one is fresher, the team that doesn't, has had a shorter layoff and is more battle tested. How much time lapses from the end of the regular season to the first playoff? It is like the beginning of the season when a team that played in week zero has an advantage over a team they play in week one that hasn't played yet. The opting out factor will probably be lessened as the lure of a Natty (thanks Cliff for your stamp on college football) since that is the reason these athlete students "play the game" (thanks Herb) herb+edwards+"just+play+the+game" - Bing video WWW.BING.COM

Speechless to omnipresent in 48 hours. Well played Mr. Marsh

It would be better to use the end of the third quarter stats, not including the garbage-time stats.

My "eye-ball" test doesn't see any trap games, and Lanning & Co.'s coaching reinforces my cataracts.
