Not sure why the computer rankings don't give Oregon any love after beating Arizona.

Kimber and OF4L the same person but just drunk/sober alternates?

What an entertaining game; I haven't seen Oregon clicking on offense like that in a several years. Normally, I don't like the idea of an inferior Duck team making the tournament, but I like this set-up: if Oregon can beat Colorado on a neutral court after beating Arizona, they will have proven they are good enough to hang with tournament teams. If they can't manage to beat a team considered 'on the bubble' for an at-large spot, then they don't deserve to go dancing. Just win, baby.

I thought we would be like last four in or first four out, but no love.

I have a feeling this is less a function of their resume being tournament-worthy and more a function of the Pac 12 getting the short end of the stick the same way they did in the bowls. As a dying conference, the Pac will have no leverage (if they ever did) with the gatekeepers who make these selections. It will be interesting to see what happens to Colorado if Oregon gets the conference auto-bid. Oh well, all of this revenue is probably just going to OSU and WSU anyway.

Agreed. At the beginning of the week, Lunardi had Oregon rated as "win 2x and you're in." We did that...and now he's saying "nah bro..."

Maybe? But Utah is a bubble team but Oregon isn’t according to CBS’s Palm.

Any details floating about on the cause for that late T? Seems it would have needed to be pretty egregious?

Final f/u and Last Stand from the PAC 12 refs?

The only description I can find is, "a technical on the Oregon bench, for protesting the (blocking) foul".
