We were only 30 points behind KS in the BCS polls, so we should be pretty close to over-taking them with more #1 votes. If we win the next 3 games, it will seal the deal.
 
With out next 3 games against ranked opponents, we're easily in if we win out.

Yeah, I'm not worried at this point about making the game as long as we take care of business. We just can't let up.

Well, we have to be concerned about injuries with the next 3 opponents. I think if we don't get healthy we're an upset possibility. If fairly healthy, I see no problems.

The key is Mariota/Barner. If they stay healthy, we will be in any game.

Honestly, I think our defense can hold out... unless we lose even more people. Weren't they lining up a TE on the DLine against Cal?
 
At least I'm a fan of one winning team......
 
Jesus the computer polls can go to freaken hell. We KILLED kansas in the human rankings but look at these computer rankings http://espn.go.com/college-football/bcs The top we get is a freaken 3. Total score is 3:1 4:3 5:2. I can't wait tell these computers dont' get to decide the freaken game because they are programed to pretty much give everyone who isn't in the SEC the shaft.
 
Well when USC spanks the Irish and Kstate loses to Texas it's us and Bama again!

doubt it as they were already rated ahead of KSt. in the human polls and this past weekend didn't help their Strength of Schedule to improve things with the computers.

As long as they're rated in BCS's top 2 following the PAC12 championship, I'm thrilled

It doesn't make sense though... maybe you can clear this up.

They were barely ahead of us last week. This week we have moved into the first place, which should be worth more points, no? If the human polls are worth 2/3 of the ranking, why wouldn't more first place votes move you up in the BCS? I guess I'm just confused.

Its because of how low the computer rankings have us. We beat out Kansas by fairly large numbers for #1 but were still only on average 60 points ahead of them in the human polls. In the Computer rankings they are significantly ahead of us, our avg rank is a 4 with a 3 as our highest rating while Kansas is an average rank of 2 with 3 as there lowest ranking.
Its a much much bigger gap were the computers have us compared to kansas then were the human polls have us.
 
I think an eyeball test shows that the human rankings are better than the computer rankings. I'm thinking maybe the top 5 should be human only, and the remainder a mixture of computers and humans. I can understand wanting to put some objectivity into the rankings, but I the computers can't take everything into account, and aren't as good as humans.

I mean, come on, ain't no analyist who knows his butt from a whole in the ground would rank Oregon #5 like this computer rankings....just complete bullshit.

I'm still holding out that GA beats Bama in the SEC Championship game! :grin:
 
I want to play Notre Dame! I hate those guys as much as Jesuit!
 
It seems that Oregon is #1 in the human polls, ND is #1 in the computer rankings, and KSU is #1 in the BCS.

This system is soooo messed up! :crazy:

The best thing for us (besides running the table) would be for USC to knock off ND. It wouldn't be that far-fetched.

I still think we could be looking at a ND vs SEC natty. Gotta maximize those TV ratings!
 
Anyone who wouldn't put Oregon #1 right hasn't been paying attention to college football.

I am rooting for Notre Dame though. I'd love to see Oregon vs. Notre Dame in the title game. I think Notre Dame is like the Dallas Cowboys. They used to be "America's Team," and all of that publicity and coverage led to a lot of people turning on them and hating them during their losing seasons. Now I feel like more people root against than for Notre Dame, just like the Cowboys. In a weird way, they're an underdog.
 
Honestly the Irish better not hope to get us! We unlike Boston College, BYU and Stanford wont drop 20 in a game, we'll do that in a quarter and the Irish will look like a pop warner team by second half! I think USC will show them very soon what a B+ Oregon offense looks like without our tempo and that's all the Irish will want!!!
 
Calm down Duck fans. If you guys win out, which you should, your Ducks will without a doubt be #1 in the BCS and nobody will disagree with it.

We'd have to beat USC (as opposed to UCLA) in the PAC-12 Championship, though, as to help the computer strength-of-schedule rankings...wouldn't we?
 
I don't care what rank we are, as long as we go to the Natty.

The Ducks finish the year with 3 ranked teams. Stanford, Oregon St, and USC/UCLA. That will bump your strength of schedule up a lot.
