EastBayDuckDad Moderator No. 4 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Right now Bama is up on UGA by 17-7 at the half. Milroe is throwing all over the place on their D. The potential nightmare scenario with two 12-1 SEC teams and 13-0 Michigan and FSU getting in and a 12-1 Pac-12 champion Oregon getting left out may have played out anyway, leaving them to end up playing a 12-1 tOSU, Texas or even Georgia. As much as it grieves me to admit it. I want the Washington team that beat OBD yesterday to show up in the CFP. Maybe not to win it all, which would make the b*st*rds insufferable, but to at least play well enough to make the swan song of the Pac-12 a good one. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Ducky No. 8 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I too don’t care who we play I just hope the players and coaches all stick to their dream and stay on focus. Playing in a bowl game is not as important as it was before the BCS and holding a team together after such a huge disappointment for the players will not be easy. We as fans will all be back next year and hopefully we don’t lose a bunch of players over this. This will be a major indication of how DL will do going forward. Im sure that WS will be a great play caller some day but he lacked creativity last night and Deboer made him pay for it. He opened up the offense only because he had to. If he’d have stretched that defense from the start I’m sure he would have been in the game at the start. IMHO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirklandduck Moderator No. 9 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I'd like to see Alabama or Texas. That would give Bo Nix incentive to come back for the bowl game and perform against a top SEC team. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
latracey No. 10 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I’m with 1Ducker1, it depends on who decides to play for Oregon in the bowl game. It would be interesting to play Georgia, but only if Nix and Franklin decide to suit up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t mind a rematch of the 2015 Rose Bowl with FSU. They have a young QB like we will have. Also, I would like to beat Mike Norvell because his voice is annoying and he has cop hair. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem is that the game would likely not be played by the 2023 versions of the teams that had such wonderful seasons and be a true measuring stick.

UGA has maintained a pretty solid standard when it comes to recruiting, player development and on-field play. I would like to see if Oregon’s recruiting, player development and on-field play has improved since September of 2022. Maybe we only lose by 3 scores instead of 6. Both teams will have big name opt outs and transfers, so it might be fun to see. Unfortunately, most sites are predicting Oregon/Bama in the Fiesta Bowl. I think Bama is playing the best football in the nation right now, so it might not go well. Especially with no Dorlus, Burch, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Log Haulin No. 16 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I just hope Ducks make a NY6 game. Only for the reason it gives Oregon another month of practice. Clearly the Ducks need as much as they can get imo. Especially the coaching staff imo. I would love to see Kirby and Dan face off again. Due to most stars sitting out it would be 2's v. 2's for the most part. That would be interesting imo. I would also like to see Nix sit out and see Thompson get the nod. UGA has very good depth and their two's would be good competion to see how TT stacks up. The game is meaningless unfortunately. Only pride is on the line. Ty Thompson might not be available either though. If Oregon gets a portal QB, and this is only my opinion to be clear, Ty should absolutely jump into the portal immediately. No reason for him to stay at Oregon at that point imo. Ducks could find themselves without a viable QB in this game. The freshman haven't really played but a few snaps and I don't think any have thrown the ball in live game reps. I will watch the bowl game but this season is disapointing imo. Ducks won 11 games but lost. I can't categorize Ducks as a 'great' team as a result. They are very good and right on the cusp. But imo, 'great' means something. 'Great' is a tear above where the Ducks sit right now. On to 24' where I will cheer for Oregon as enthusiastically as I did in 23'.
