I think UO is a good match-up for anybody. I'm just using the Stanford loss as a counter for anybody using the "We're better than A&M, A&M beat Bama" argument. I don't believe in the transitive property when it comes to sports.Phalanx wrote:I don't hear a lot of people talking about this, but I really think that loss to Stanford had a lot to do with the terrible weather that day.

I don't know if Oregon would beat Alabama this year, but I do know this: Chip is going to be preparing his team for an SEC defense. The only mountain he has yet to conquer. I don't think there is any doubt that Oregon should have been in this game instead of Notre Lame. It would never happen though, without a playoff.

Re: National Title Game
Fixed that.Don't forget that on our trip to the National Championship game we only lost by 3 points with a sophomore QB who wasn't very accurate, slower receivers, an undersized defensive line and our worst special teams performance of the season.

Re: National Title Game
Well no surprise. Any team that struggles and nearly loses at home to a team like Pittsburgh, should have no right in playing for a natty.
Glad I folded socks and watched news instead.

Re: National Title Game
Lacy just called Alabama a "great organization"

“If everybody in this room just want to be real with themselves, this game could have went either way,” he said. “We turned the ball over a lot. We beat ourself. Just be real with yourself right now. We beat ourself.”

Re: National Title Game
The SEC minus Vanderbilt makes a mockery of college athletics. Most of the players on Alabama's football team wouldn't have qualified at ASU. Alabama football is similar to Kentucky basketball.Braveheart wrote:Technically he's right.

I do have a lot of respect for Barrett Jones tho.

Re: National Title Game
It's the entire way that the conference operates. They create majors specifically for athletes. Tim Tebow majored in community service. How many non-athletes at Florida do you think are apart of that major?Duck24 wrote:Lol and the guys who came to Oregon came for the outstanding Political Science, Sociology, and Communication degrees?
While sociology and poli sci aren't exactly the most challenging fields, they are still legitimate majors.
More importantly, most schools in the SEC do other things that give the conference a distinct competitive advantage. Their coaches know how to play the system. Alabama, for instance, gives kids who aren't contributing "medical scholarships" to open up spots for more highly regarded/potentially more productive recruits. This type of behavior is rampant. That's not to mention their inappropriate use of greyshirting. Or how about signing 30+ recruits every year?

I blame the BCS for this! Call Oregon and get them on a plane to Miami please!
As if I needed another reason to love him.
