DrJacksPlaidPants Moderator No. 1 Share Posted September 29 As expected, the loser of UGA/Bama stayed in the top five. The Dawgs dropped to 5th. Miami also dropped a spot due to their shady win.

Charles Fischer Administrator No. 2 Share Posted September 29 I'm good with it. We need to truly prove ourselves of being in the top-5, a group that is pretty loaded and impressive. 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
30Duck No. 3 Share Posted September 29 Oregon moves up 2, to No,6, Miami drops 1, to 8, where Oregon was last week. I'd take No,17 Clemson -6.5 over Miami at Hard Rock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Marsh No. 4 Share Posted September 29 6 is fine. This team is still coming together but isn't there yet. I feel we are lacking our killer instinct at the moment. It's getting there but just isn't there yet. We left at least 7 points in the field last night. It was a solid win but it felt like there was more this team had to give but didn't.

HappyToBeADuck No. 5 Share Posted September 29 With tOSU, Michigan and Illinois still left on the Duck schedule, OBD's will have ample opportunity to prove that they are going to be elite. To me, this is a good ranking....Now we get a chance to play some comparison games. Texas went into the Big House and thoroughly dominated Michigan. Will the Ducks do the same or fail like the Trojans did? PSU, at home in Happy Valley struggled to put Illinois away. Will the Ducks struggle or hand Illinois a thrashing? tOSU handled Sparty fairly easy. On a short week will the Ducks make short order of JS's team? And not look past MSU..... Pollsters will or may use these common opponents as a yard stick when ranking the Duck's. Time will tell. However, I feel the Ducks must beat tOSU to move into the elite status when viewed by pollsters. A hard fought loss to tOSU won't diminish the Ducks CFP chances. But a loss, in that week will just keep the Ducks out of the top 5. With plenty of games to move back up. This years version of OBD's has been difficult to figure out. They are fixing problems and improving weekly. Yet they leave this fan wanting more each week. One more tune up game to get it all together. tOSU Buckeyes will bring their A plus game to Eugene. The Ducks will, too! The elite opportunity is there for the Ducks taking. . . Let's handle Sparty and get after those Buckeyes..... Go Ducks......... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of it will take care of itself. Beat the heck out of Sparty and then a showdown with those Buckeyes. Keep it rolling OBD!!!!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuckFan93 No. 8 Share Posted September 30 Boise State 21. They did win convincingly against the thief up north. Looking back, we were lucky to get past them and that win will definitely help OBD down the road. Go Ducks! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
