For Oregon, you could actually afford to drop a game during the season because beating a top 5-10 SC team in the conference champ game would immediately launch you into the CFP. As it stands we have to be perfect, which is extremely hard even with an elite team.

If it means losing to them every once in a while but the conference sending a team to the CFP every year then it’s worth it.

On the flip side, Oklahoma and Clemson just roll through their conference each year and get CFP bids annually. I don't think we need a competitor
Oklahoma about to be on the outside looking in this year because their conference is crap and they don't play anybody.

If Oklahoma don't lose this season, they will most likely be in the CFP. Although I would love to see a scenario where they're perfect this season and do not get in the CFP. Top teams should get some leeway when their conference become irrelevant but they shouldn't get any slack for scheduling cupcake OOC opponents.

Don’t see SC being any different the rest of the year. MC already gets some of the best SoCal talent to UO. Why deal with unreal expectations every year?
If Donte has couple more dominating wins, look for USC to say he's their guy.

I don't see Oklahoma winning out if they don't improve. The Big 12 ain't great, but there are enough dangerous teams to beat that squad some weekend.

Personally, I think that if Urban Meyer were to jump back into college football, LSU would be a better fit for him than USC. Yes, he did well at Utah, but I think he's more of an SEC guy over the Pac-12.

Regarding MC, I can potentially see the Miami (FL) job opening after this season or next. They've started the regular season ranked high and been embarrassed twice by Alabama and Michigan State. I'm not sure if he'd leave or not? He'd be at the peak of the rebuilding process here and would have to start all over there.

Miami offered him already, and he said no. They then hired the next guy on the list.

I don't think there is a high chance Mario considers leaving UO unless its for the Alabama HC job.

Didn’t Saban recently sign an extension that has him at Bama til he is 120? If healthy, he is probably there another 4-5 years unless he gets bored of winning…maybe longer.

They are going to go the futurama route and just have Saban's head in a jar coaching for eternity.
