Yea, Oregon actually seems better this year. We will get a truer feel for them when they play Washington next week and then Stanford later. Still, figured there would be some sort of decline after Kelly bailed

Oregon hasn't played ANYONE worth a shit and they're a reincarnation of the 85 Bears?

1. Nicholls St.
2. Virginia
3. Tennessee
4. Cal
5. Colorado

Get back to me later when they play a front four that can apply some pressure. Otherwise stop with all the nonsense like everyone has done with them in the past.

Well the pollsters apparently feel their victories warranted them passing OSU

In those victories they have looked dominate. No other team can say that in every game.
We will see how they stack up against a very solid Washington team.

And none of them are even close to being better then NU or Wisky. Virginia just lost badly to Ball State and Pitt the week before and Colorado was kicked around by Oregon State last week. We will find out how awesome Oregon is next week at Washington.

Oregon does look really good, but they always do this. We'll see if they can avoid a letdown, or a loss to one of the better PAC12 teams.

They have Washington, UCLA, and Stanford coming up. If they make it out of that stretch without a loss, they're playing for the title.

Wisconsin blows. NW is a legit top 25 team though, which is more than Oregon has beat. With that being said, I still think Oregon is a little better than OSU.

I agree with all of this. Just stating that the pollsters opinion is all that really matters.

If any two of these teams goes undefeated Ohio State will not play for a title.

Alabama, Oregon, Clemson, Stanford, and probably even Florida State. Now Clemson vs FSU is in two weeks so that will eliminate one of them. Same with Oregon and Stanford. Any of those teams will have better wins than OSU. Oddly enough we have to root for Michigan to be undefeated.

Couch is spot on in his analysis and pmoney25 you are correct.

I've been saying it since Week 1...If there are undefeated teams left standing at the end of the season out of the PAC 12 and SEC andif Ohio State also goes undefeated including a B1G championship, I don't care if the Buckeyes do in fact still hold the nation's longest winning streak, Ohio State will NOT play in the NC.

You can bank on it.

Problem with your "hopechest" is that those ahead of them or near them have to be flawless and history is on the side that doesn't favor that...just sayin'

This may be like the 18th post of yours citing your vast knowledge and unencumbered, weak prognostications...we get it though lol

LOL...No fucking shit Sherlock, have you seen who everyone else has played? Have you given it any credence? Do you take into account what they have coming up? Oh wizard of collegiate athletics?

GTFO honestly, you're lack of forethought and unbridled jealousy and disdain for being the "little brother" is comical.

You're the kind of Buckeye fan the country loves to hate. You almost make me hope I'm right.

Why? Because I reply in kind to your incessant downgrading of my Alma Mater? The schedule (which can't do anything about) You've been let to passively aggressively troll the Bucks for far too long, that shit ain't flyin' anymore...so you can kindly gfy... lol

Bashing the schedule is stupid.

Most college football fans, OSU fans alike, understand how things work with the bowl games. OSU's schedule OOC is weak. Their conference is unusually weak. It's likely going to bite them and they will need a lot of luck to make the title game. I think most OSU fans will even admit this.

Using that as a criticism to the team is stupid. There are many other actual critiques that people could use instead...

Well, OSU fans with any brains will at least.

Lyerla leaving Oregon.

I'm assuming this kid is a headcase? Sucks for him, he's skilled. I thought he would be solid at the next level.
