2 of Bama's loses came to teams that become bowl eligible only because they beat Bama, 6-6 Vandy & 6-6 Oklahoma. I believe USC should get in before Alabama. USC has won 6 in a row and 3 of them were against ranked teams. Alabama has gone 4-2 in the last 6 and got smoked by an average Oklahoma team. USC is playing much better then Alabama right now. I know Alabama beat them earlier in the season but there has to be more criteria then that. But because the committee does not have any specific standards they can fudge. They will pick Alabama because of their name, not because they are better. I hope this is not true.

Regret it? This is why they choose them! Its like allowing the rich kid on the team even though they are a terrible athlete. The league will benefit from the Seattle market more then they will lose due to their athletic mediocracy The Big10 will also gain from the heated Oregon/Washington rivalry, those games will be better for TV then Washington/Minnesota game. Then in about 5 years when the Huskies have fallen to Beaver status (not really competitive with us) and Bucky (tOSU) has become our new heated rivalry you have a team that you can match up with Northwestern. They could call it the Purple Bowl and the winner gets the Eggplant trophy.

My hate goes back to the 80's when they used to show up in their purple shirts and gold hard hats! Made me sick!

I just tried this and it was crazy how much the bracket made sense when I was done. Everyone should try this, very interesting. Currently 2nd and 3rd seed have a much better draw then #1 Oregon.

The best way to do it would be to place seeds 9-12 into the bracket, then let 5th seed pick who they want to play, then 6th seed pick etc. When that is done let the 1st seed pick where they want to go, then 2nd seed etc. This way teams/fans would not complain about the bracket because they (teams) created it. This will never happen because then playoff committee would only rank the teams and that does not create as much controversy.

Being a golfer I really enjoy your reference to "Tee Time" for game time!

I just remember that Oregon, under Altman, has always struggled early in the year. They keep getting better and peak at the end of the year. I used to get frustrated by it not any more, it has happened so often.

2nd best Oregon Coach ever…..Mario Cristobal because he gave us Dan Lanning!

Correct me if I am wrong but wasn’t Mayato considered last year to help out at tightend?

Stupid factoid of the day-On November 19th 2010 the Oregon Football team and men's basketball team were a combined 13-0. After last nights basketball game they are combined 13-0. How far do you think they can go until they get their first loss? I feel at least 16-0 till the basketball team meets a good A&M Team, but its at home so maybe.... I wonder which schools teams went the farthest with out a loss? Just something to ponder...

A couple questions; would said quarterback be allowed to go into the portal at some time? Would a coach be pressured to play a high paid kid? If they sign a 5 year deal would they have to stay at that school for the whole contract or be allowed to go into the draft? Do they sign sign multi year deals? All these questions and many more will need to be addressed or I see the system becoming more broken then it already is.

My question is, why have DG in the game at the end? We have guys that need experience and he was just handing off. One OL guy misses a block and blows up the hand off and hurts DG we are in big trouble. Am I wrong to think this way?

What do you mean? I would have more ramen!

Can I say I wrote you in for President because if you can keep peace on a message board you could make peace in the world!

Were you giving out IPA’s!

I have heard two stories about season tickets- 1-tOSU fans bought them just for the Oregon game 2-A friend of mine who has had season tickets for over 30 years says its not true about tOSU fans because there has been a waiting list duck season tickets for many year. Does anyone have more insight?

I like all the reasons to root for PSU, there is another bigger and longer term reason to root for them: Recruiting! Who is our biggest recruiting competition in the Big 10? OSU, not PSU or Indiana. If OSU loses to PSU and then to Indiana (hopefully) it would probably knock them out of the tournament. Now Day has to recruit against an Oregon team that went to the tournament and hopefully won, tough to do. And if it cost Day his job they have to do a total reset of their program. At OSU a reset is not as bad as it would be for most schools but they would be at least 1 step behind behind Oregon. It might take them 2-3 years to catch up. GO PSU!

Sorry I missed quoted you! Please accept my humble apology. “it’s hard to be noble when you are perfect in every way “ not quite exact Mac Davis but close.

That poor tOSU fan plugging his ears will be forever used on this site! How do the rest of us feel? I know how Charles feels, as he has admitted to not being honorable! Pity or funny? Glad I am not him!

Maybe when Stein gets a head job we can hire Riley as our OC. Not sure if I am serious or joking!

Oregon 41-13 2 4 311

Watching tOSU play against MSU, I wonder how much better they can get? I watch the UO/UCLA game it was obvious how much better Oregon can get. It is critical to be on an upward trajectory during the season, no matter how small. I believe that if Oregon peaks at the right time they will compete with anyone. Remember Bo was not "Bo" his first year at Oregon, it takes a while to get comfortable. I think Dillion is going to get there before the end of the season.

You want fish pictures, last fall on the Chetco river. Sorry no duck gear

I am sorry, I cant say anything bad about this picture. Its college kids having fun at a football game like they are supposed to. Win or lose, they should show support for their team even if it is the Beavs. The only thing I can say is that I am glad my grandson is not in the picture, he is a senior at OSU!

I totally agree, that makes two of us! Anyway how much longer will it be till OSU is our FCS opponent?
