Dave23 No. 1 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Who are you rooting for and how dose it help Oregon's playoff hopes? While I'm not actively rooting for OSUt I believe if they annihilate Michigan the Ducks have a better chance of making the Playoffs. A one loss Michigan doesn't look as good as a one loss OSUt and we're going to need all the help we can get to make the playoffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Marsh No. 2 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Biggest thing to help Oregon right now is that Oregon beats Washington. Do it with a respectable margin and all the better. I think Oregon matches up against both rather well. But in the grand scheme of things it all comes down to the comitee which seems to like Oregon. One thing Oregon has done a great job of this season is just dealing with lesser competition. We have only had two nail biters all year. Texas Tech was dicy for a while there and then the loss to Washington, which could have been in a win but the Ducks shot themselves in the foot. The B1G sucks outside of 2 teams at the top and a top 25 but by no means great PSU team. The pac-12 has done what it always does and canabalized itself after the top two teams. I wouldn't be surprised if Oregon's beat down of the Beavers throws them out of the top 25 just to cause us some problems. No team that plays Oregon is the same afterwards. If Colorado played USC before Oregon I think there's a good chance they would have stayed ranked for a couple more weeks. They played Oregon and were exposed badly and were thrown from the rankings. They would have lost that ranking regardless they aren't that good but Oregon threw them from the rankings fast. USC gave up on their team after Oregon.

Log Haulin No. 3 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I don't knownthat it matters. What matters is one team blowing up the other imo. I am hoping for a blowout. Preferably Buckeye win. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OregonDucks No. 5 Share Posted November 25, 2023 (edited) A blowout would help Oregon's chances the most. Doesn't matter if it's Michigan or Ohio State. Looking like's it going to be a 3-0 game, at this point. Edited November 25, 2023 by OregonDucks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave23 Author No. 6 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Whoever wins I hope it's by a big margin. A FSU lose today would also be nice. I'm still worried that a one loss Georgia steals a playoff spot and the SEC gets two teams in the playoffs even in a down year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ktmguy2018 No. 9 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I am not pulling for either team but what I am pulling for is an UGLY game...one of those games where the committee is not thinking, wow these teams are both really good...can we get them both in. Ugly, mistake filled, penalties....that's my hope. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it sucks, Georgia deserves a shot in the playoffs at a back to back national champions. The only thing that keeps Georgia out is 2 losses (extremely unlikely) or if they get blown out by Bama (also unlikely).

Desert Duck No. 14 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I'm voting for one of these teams to annihilate and beat the ever-luvin-crap out of the other one... by a huge, wide, margin. Couldn't care less which one wins. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think so. The only loss is by 3 points to a team now ranked 4 in the country. And that loss is avenged by then beating the #4 team to win the PAC-12. Not to mention the eye test, an offense averaging 46points, and Bo Nix. Gonna be really hard to justify not putting them in. Impossible IMO. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbmichaels No. 25 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Well...what happened was about the worst outcome for the Ducks. 6 point loss by the road team in a game that was in question basically to the final play. Much like ODB's loss to UW, this will be perceived as a pretty "good" loss by the powers that be. Hopefully it won't matter, but it certainly didn't help. As others have said, we really wanted a decisive win one way or the other to knock the loser down harder. Oh well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we lost we only dropped one spot. OSU will NOT fall below us on Tuesday. Similar worst case scenario will be Alabama beating Georgia by a couple of points. How far will Georgia fall? If things get really ugly this way, I could see the committee throwing up their hands and just sticking with zero and one loss conference champions to spread the wealth in the final season of the stupidly restrictive 4 team playoff with 5 conferences. Then it is just a matter leaving out the least competitive conference/conference champion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Hilarius Moderator No. 27 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I think it would be fair to rank tOSU higher than the ducks but below the Fuskies this week. But next Friday, OBD will be dismantling the #3 team while tOSU will be sitting on their thumbs. The committee would surely take a 1-loss conf champ over a 1-loss loser. Also, we know the committee has looked more favorably at losses at the beginning of the season compared to November. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
