We did lose to Ok State at the start of the season and I'm not saying the Ducks deserve to be the in playoff at this point, we didn't take care of business and that's on this team. But has Utah played the same tier of athletes that are in the big ten? Would they beat Ohio State? Would they be competitive with Georgia as no.1 and no.2 should be theoretically competitive with each other. Just feels like the committee is treating the big 12 like it still had Texas and Oklahoma, of which how would they stack up in the Big 12 right now? Neither are great but they are both playing against better rosters than the Big 12. If Oregon makes it into the playoff and has to square off against Utah... I'm betting on the Ducks (this version anyways). If this were the BCS and it was Georgia v Utah in the national championship game I'm betting on Georgia big time. There is just much bigger jump between the power two to the ACC and Big 12 and the committee isn't recognizing that... Yet. This also isn't to say I don't think Utah deserves a playoff spot. They do... But are they really the no. 2 team on the country?

I am not saying you two are wrong, but OBD lost to OK State, which lost last night to Texas Tech. This sort of comparison is somewhat arbitrary, but what method would be more equitable? I am trying to see this from the perspective of BYU et al.

There is still too much emphasis out on the big 12 by the committee. I honestly believe this Oregon team right now would beat the Utes. The personnel difference is just too big. Would Utah even stand a chance against Georgia?

The path to the BIG title game seems to be closing thanks to SUC being SUC yesterday. I'd assume that OBD are ranked #14 this week. Needing to move up three spots here are some big games left. Next Week: #12 Texas Tech vs Baylor #15 Iowa vs Illinois #21 LSU vs #8 Tennessee #22 Missouri vs #11 Kentucky (Expected to drop under OBD this week) Final Week TCU vs #12 Texas Tech Nebraska vs #15 Iowa Purdue vs #9 Indiana (Only path to BIG title game) Duke vs #13 Wake Forest After that it's just a hope and a prayer for major upsets. Go Ducks

You glossed over when Mario ruined by going to a straw man argument. The fact of the matter is we went from the best damn offense in the country to a shadow of that

We’ve created a lot more distance between us and all the teams behind us in the CFP 25 and we’ll likely jump Kentucky and Houston, but we still need help. The Top 4 SEC teams have no games left against each other. Wake Forest and Miami are likely in if they win out. Utah, BYU, TT are all in if they win out (really unfortunate that TT misses both Utah and BYU). Then there is ND and Boise St if they win out. That’s 11 teams before we get to the B1G. If the selection committee stays with precedent that teams aren’t punished for conference title game losses, none of the above teams play each other in the regular season. We need massive upsets. And for OBD to have any chance, Iowa must lose. We can’t be the fourth B1G team, we have to be at least third. If more upsets don’t come, even two loss Iowa won’t make it.

It helps when so many of the WRs are 5 stars. The only WR I saw not totally in a groove was Bair, and sort of gets a pass due to being out of football for two years.

Actually, it is the new OC stepping it up as well. He is getting Hill the ball in situations where he can do his best, which is running in some space with some momentum. Hill wasn't running through any brick walls vs Ohio St. But once he got passed the line, he did very well. The plan to use the RBs vs Michigan was a big improvement. The Ducks are evolving and getting better every week.

Going back to the Big 8, the best teams - Nebraska, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Colorado all are mediocre or terrible in their new conferences. They only looked good back then due to who they were playing. In today's Big 12, it is still mostly the same. I'll bet that even Michigan could beat most of their top teams today. If I am wrong (and I could be), lets see how they look vs Big 10 or SEC teams in the playoffs.

Hill has been crushing it lately, 98 yards today against a stout run D with some big time moves in key moments. That 49 yard out route was a thing of beauty to seal the game!

Oregon needs to score over 50 the last two games to be relevant. I think they can do it.

I'm sure Uncle Phil gave him a good pieceof his mindto after today's miserable performance!

So the Meatchicken OC didn't even have the opportunity to get Kiffined (abandoned on the tarmac)?

LSU is 9-4, next case. Kentucky lost today. Texas at A$M? Arkansas blew out now 4-loss South Carolina. Houston lost, and OK State is still in the game vs. TX Tech. BYU defeated Baylor, and Arizona leads Utah in Tucson. Fortunately, Boise won a shootout against the Beavers. Washington won at Michigan State and Indiana, coming off a tough game against SC, could be pressed in Seattle. Oregon was the highest-ranked 3-loss team last week and will move up in the PO committee rankings. Rivalry games remain to be played; you never know. Spank Sparty!

They need to step up, or we won't have Riley to kick around anymore!

At this point, I don't care. I want the top rated teams to go down. That includes Utah. FACT: Texas did not deserve to win

Oklahoma State is made a good run on Texas Tech to come back from 21-0 to finish the first half 28-20.

Arizona looking good going up on Utah 14-3.

I hate celebrities

Noticed that...

Maybe the Huskies will pull one out next week and beat Indiana. Does that mean I have to be a Husky fan?

LSU gave the game away by playing not to lose... well, they lost. I knew it would happen.
