You are forgetting UCLA. They have already curb stomped Washington and Utah. They play us Saturday, and USC at home. The rest of their schedule is easy street. We may not have a chance, due to the Georgia game, but USC and especially UCLA are very much alive in the playoff race

I picked Tennessee over Bama by at least 10 points 3 days ago. USC lights up Utah in Utah. 38-21 Both are great results for our Ducks!

Great read. I am afraid though , the PAC will not be the same without those teams. I am trying balance a positive outlook with reality. But them leaving feels like a death blow to the PAC.

Alabama list both their best receivers and key defensive players before they played Georgia.

Oregon must win out. USC must win out until we play them. Including beating Notre Dame Alabama must lose one game before losing to Georgia. That gives us a chance. If all that happens, and Clemson loses a game. we’re in for sure To be honest UCLA has easiest path to playoffs I think. They beat us they will go undefeated

Agreed. If USC beats Utah and We beat UCLA we will be both in PAC 12 title game I think. So let your love for the Ducks flow, and root for USC. If we lose go back to hating the trash from USC.

My love for the Ducks appears to be stronger than your hate for USC! Women are better at love as everyone knows, so nothing personal. Though I think they lose, we need $C to win Mic.

I’m watching USC vs Utah Utah wins 31-24 Bama vs Tennessee. Tennessee wins by 10. Regardless of who starts at QB for Bama

Who have we beaten? BYU can’t win a game, WSU has zero defense, and Arizona is one of the worst teams in the PAC. I hear what you are saying but UCLA just curb stomped Utah for 3 quarters then hit cruise control. We haven’t beaten A legit top 30 team yet. I am seriously worried about this one.

I noticed many consider UCLA to have the best QB and running back in the conference. I believe the two best QB’s and RB’s will be on the field in Eugene a week from now. Oregon will have its O-line tested this game. UCLA will have to deal with crowd noise, and Oregon team speed. UCLA has not been tested on the road, nor seen the speed we have. Oregon has the talent. UCLA has experience. Their QB is in his 12th season at UCLA. This one is going to be fun. It will say much more about Lanning, and his staff, than the Georgia game did.

But….It is UCLA that is easily the best California team. USC is rated so highly because Norte Dame needs a big win to get to a big six late in season. IMO UCLA is the best team outside of Georgia we will face this season. Just as fast as us but with much more experience. I want USC to win but I think Utah spanks them, proving that UCLA is the southern team to beat.

I would go too because I think the PAC may fold

Who’s going to compete with Oregon? Washington? If we keep getting ten times more talent, then we should dominate the pac

My concern is about the Big 12. I think it will be easier for them to poach Utah, Colorado, and both Arizona schools, then for us to get a few of them. Those four Pac schools are geographically suitable for Big 12. I keep waiting to hear that talk.

Texas is extremely rich in dollars and tradition. That would be a fish worth poaching.

Who would we add to make a media company find us more valuable?

Agreed but we lose do much after this season. I feel like next year is a major rebuild.

U$C needs to win this. If so we will have three teams ranked in top 10 or 11 by next Monday. And Florida beat them already. USC needs to win to keep Oregon in the playoff hunt. I want to see us in playoffs more than I hate USC.

I believe 2 teams from both the SEC and BIG will be in playoffs. Then the PAC-12 champs, Big 12 champs, ACC champs, and 1 at large Oregon would be in playoffs 3 out of ever 4 seasons if we stay put. If there is a PAC 12 in the future

Ok good point. I just think we may be in a for a dog fight against Chips boys, and I do not want to lose because of a dumb penalty

Ok well that’s true. I just don’t want to lose by 3 because we got a dumb emotionally based penalty.

Yes I do. He has the personality of a Brett Favre, or a Johnny Manziel. Lanning has done well to get him to play under his scheme. I like that as do most. But it is NOT who he is. He is a gun slinger at heart. Alabama and Georgia like their QB’s to be 150 to 200 yard per game, musts he free, field generals. They have the luxury of monster middle linebackers, and shutdown corners! Not to mention 400 pound running backs that run 4.4 40’s. We don’t have that at this very moment. So I think Bo needs 350 plus through the air, and close to 100 on the ground against UCLA. I have been saying watch out for UCLA in here for over a month. Very experienced position players, and they absolutely man handled Utah’s line. So yes I think Bo has been leashed like a typical SEC QB, who isn’t coached by leach. Im not sure that will result in a win in two weeks. We have the speed in our receivers. Bo has the arm he’s just a half second to slow to throw it for our receivers to run under it. UCLA does not have Kirby Smart coached 5 star defensive backs. Attack!!! Now be nice in your rebuttals. As you always are

I’m happy with Bo. Although if he’s not unleashed against UCLA we may lose. I think our Inside linebacker play has taken a step back. I am also surprised at the taunting I see under coach Lanning, that Kirby Smart would never allow.

Good Lordy! I guess that is possible. Do you think an undefeated PAC 12 team jumps a 1 loss Bama?

No I’m saying UCLA is going to best usc.
