And then Prime will ask everyone if they believe. Actually, I am surprised he still is interested in coaching.

The first time I've rooted for CU, since the circus arrived in boulder...

Oregon got the help they needed yesterday from Colorado and UCLA. Now they need to win today and have USC beat Indiana and they should be in the drivers seat again.

Two Matchups That Could Decide Oregon Ducks vs. Michigan Wolverines

The No. 16 Oregon Ducks need to survive and advance to keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive.

The No. 16 Oregon Ducks received some help from the Colorado Buffaloes knocking off No. 14 Houston on Friday, putting Oregon one step closer to a potential at-large bid if the Ducks' path to the Big Ten Championship game doesn't pan out. However, none of it matters if Oregon coach Dan Lanning and the Ducks don't get past the Michigan Wolverines on Saturday.

Oregon and Michigan are set to kick off from Autzen Stadium at 12 p.m. PT, and there are two key matchups that could decide the outcome.

Personally I'm more concerned with USC beating Indiana and jumping the Ducks in the rankings. So many things have to go perfectly right for the Ducks to get to the B1G championship. Iowa and Wisconsin losing one of their final games doesn't look highly likely for starters. USC beating Indiana then losing to UCLA is great but if they win both the Ducks are out in both regards I'm following my gut and rooting against USC as usual.

I still believe the best shot for the Ducks is an at large bid by having a few more teams ranked 10-15 lose in the next 3 weeks. Of course, if the Ducks go down it's all a mute point.
