WaPo: "The Four-Team Playoff’s Final Grift: A Ridiculous Stiff-Arm for Florida State" MSN WWW.MSN.COM

Unfortunately, there's not a chance that this is going to happen. I can't see pretty much anyone that is bound, or likely bound, for the NFL, risking injury on a game like this. While this reality is unfortunate, this is the unfortunate reality of college football today.

^^^^That... 110%^^^^

We showed up motivated. We just got beat by a slightly better coached team. Hate the Fuskies all we want, but all they do this season is win. As in 3 wins over OBD in the last 13 months... by a total of 9 points. Talk about one bitter tasting pill to swallow.

There's now no doubt in my mind that the CFP committee would have 100% screwed Oregon over. I think all the evidence we need to see is Liberty & the VRBO Bowl. That tells me exactly what the CFP committe actually thinks of our Ducks.

Liberty was my second choice... right after just about anyone else. And now we know what the powers that be in college football actually think of OBD.

There's no freaking chance of 'repairing' this sports travesty.

No way... and this is further evidenced by one acronym and three words - VRBO Bowl & Liberty. The VRBO Bowl v Liberty could not be better evidence of how little the College Football Playoff committee thinks of OBD.

The only good to come from playing in this crap Bowl, is that the team gets a few more weeks of football. For the young guys, that's really valuable. But as I said, we live 40 minutes from Glendale stadium, and I won't waste the gas to go to this thing... and I can get comp'd tickets. Opting to go for a lovely New Year's Day hike instead.

Wow... this is amazing because I was so hoping that we'd get to play mighty Liberty in the VRBO Bowl. Between this, and FSU getting utterly screwed, this is just more evidence showing what a pathetic joke CFB can be.

Absolutely one of the biggest screw jobs in college football history. What a sports travesty.

We live 40 minutes from Glendale Stadium, and there's not a remote chance that I'm willing to waste a few gallons of gas to go to this crap-bowl. And I can literally get comp'd tickets for this game. I'm going to opt for a nice New Years Day hike instead. Oregon's bowl selection, & FSU getting screwed, are two more ideal pieces of evidence showing why college football is often a disgusting joke.

Honestly, I don't even care. For me, after 50 years of this, it was CFP or nothing.

Just par for the course. Lots of excitement and talk. But in the end, that's always about it.

Commitment... I today's world, I think the right term should 'Verbitment' -- as in verbal commitment. As in slightly more than meaningless.

- No PAC-12 Championship - No College football playoff - No Heisman Not my favorite Friday evening.

But we're the only team to lose to them twice this year, and go 0-3 to them over the last 12 months. That's gotta be some kind of evil record.

You can spot Stanford the first 20 minutes of a game, but not the Huskies. The Huskies clearly own the Ducks.

Which Penix? The one who consistently kicks our butt.

And onside kick with 2:14 to go and 3 TOs? What the hell. What's next? The Alamo Bowl? Oh well... at least it was an entertaining season. See you all next Fall.

The Huskies suck. All they do is win and beat Duck football teams.

Onside kick?

It's tough to win a game when you don't show up for the first1 & 1/2 quarters. But unbelievably, we are somehow in this thing.

The refs are actually calling it pretty well and letting them play.

Actually, that looked like great D. But thankfully, we got bailed out.
