And going for an onside kick with 2 1/2 minutes left? I cannot even imagine that the game would ever be in doubt, and it is in the Colosseum?

 

Colorado beat Cal, and scored a boatload on Arizona State, who is now giving UCLA fits at the end of their game.

 

Maybe we ought to appreciate our road victories a little more than we are?

 

It is all there for the taking, and to achieve. Do it Ducks!

I think the biggest threat to the Ducks right now is The Beevs.  Don’t expect there will be allot of room for Duck fans in the Big Dip this year.  In other words, We Win Out and Face UCLA in the Championship.

 

 UCLA is a much more complete team than SUC and Utah will be the first team to keep us under 40 points but still come up two tds short.

 

 Minus a tragic injury we will be looking at a rematch with Georgia in the first game of the Playoffs.

 

Huck the Fuskies!

The Ducks have a really hard path.  Lossington and the Utes are going to be tough games. 
 

The Beavs will be a really hard road game.  
 

And then, assuming they go 3-0 they face a 1 loss USC or UCLA.  
 

They go 4-0 they deserve to be seriously considered for the CFP

Yeah... USC has some defensive problems. 

 

I know Oregon kept Colorado to 10 points but I feel our defense has some major problems but at least we only really let Cal score on us in garbage time.

Agree with all of this. The remaining games will not be easy.

Spot on. These next 3, and hopefully 4 games, are a juggernaut. I could see pretty much any outcome a possibility. .

OSU is going to be tough, UW and Utah at home is a huge help.  Vegas isn't going to be a neutral site, that will be a tough "road" game.

 

It's all within reach but nothing is certain and Oregon needs to keep playing well.

 

The playoff is getting kinda murky.  Ohio St. Michigan could go either way but I think tOSU gets the edge with a better offense.  A one loss Michigan could get in if the game is very close.  TCU could drop a game to Texas or Baylor and I'm actually betting Texas pulls out the win at home.  Tennessee is iced out of the SEC championship but could still get into the playoffs.

 

I think if Oregon wins out and shows strong in the PAC championship Oregon definitely gets in.  We just don't want to be #4 and play Georgia right out of the gate.  Best case scenario, Georgia, Ohio St, Oregon and Tennessee.

I believe the toughest opponent Oregon faces in the Pac-12 is themselves.

 

They have shown they can lose focus.

 

Too many 4th downs against low ranking defenses for my taste.

 

The comeback on the Palouse tells me they can rise to the occasion.  They need to against UW, Utah and OSU, end to end.

Yea those 2 interceptions by Gonzalez really helped ensure the score stayed low for Colorado, by stealing  2 extra possessions from them, otherwise I didn't like how Colorado was moving the ball against the Duck D.

Granted I do feel we felt the loss of Johnson as a pass rusher and Taki is still out. It makes sense to sit so many guys to get them some extra rest.
