BCS Rankings

[Natebishop3]

This just proves how fucked up the BCS is. Kansas State is rewarded for backing out of a game at Autzen this season.

The BCS is junk. Everybody knows that.

We have 5-6 more games to play before the end of the season though.

If I'm an Oregon fan, I'd just be thinking "let's win the games ahead of us," because if they slip up once, they're like out, but if they go undefeated, they're in.

It's very unlikely that there will be two other power conference programs that are undefeated. The outliers usually come from mid-major conferences, and it's too early to get hot and bothered about potential scenarios, when the landscape of college football changes drastically week-to-week.

OT to the subject of Oregon, but on the subject of the BCS rankings, and what could bring these teams down...

Anybody else see ULL as a trap game for Florida?

The Civil War should be awesome!

yup

Still a longggggg ways to go for all the undefeateds. Numerous tough games ahead for everyone. Don't think it's worth fretting over until the last week or two imo

yup

not really. Oregon was and is, running neck and neck with KSt in the BCS rankings, but it's pretty clear that the Ducks have the SoS that will have them emerge on top if both win out. A schedule that doesn't leave an undefeated team from a major conference in charge of it's own destiny this late in the year is one that is too weak. If both win out, I'm guessing their fanbase wishes they'd taken their chances in Eugene

Let's assume that Oregon, KSU and 1 of Alabama/Florida finish the season undefeated. You really think it's "clear" that Oregon gets in?

KSU's SOS is pretty solid to this point, and their remaining games won't hurt it much (Texas Tech, Ok St, TCU, Texas)--I don't see UO's computer rankings surpassing KSU's. Add in the fact that they'll probably significantly close the gap on Oregon in the polls once one of the top SEC teams lose, and there's a decent chance that Oregon gets left out.

Good post. But we have Stanford, USC (probably twice) and OSU coming up, and that's not too bad. Especially if OSU is a one loss team before we beat them.

This has me worried and its a big reason I was so pissed off last year. If your team cannot win your own conferencce championship game then you do not deserve to be in a National title game (or straight out win the conference if you don't have a bowl game). I don't care that LSU did win it and then got DESTROYED by Alabama, in my eyes Alabama shouldn't have been in the game.
Its really annoying that The Ducks do everything they can do to try and get highly rated opponents to play but all this "Amazing SEC" teams don't want to play at Autuzen and expect The Ducks to fly to them, they wont even except 1 home 1 road game type scenarios.

K State has beaten WVU who got torched the week before, a Miami team who can't win in the ACC and Oklahoma.... They've got no one ranked left to play...

We've beaten a ranked Arizona team when we played them, a ranked UW team when we played them, OSU, USC, Stanford and USC probably again before the season is over, all top 20 teams. That and we unlike KState play a conference championship game.

Notre Dame will lose by 20+ to the Sooners this weekend in Norman, Florida wont get past Georgia or Bama for that matter, Bama may lose to LSU so who knows maybe we'll get those coward Kstate punks in the national championship, stranger things have happened!

Let's just win out first!!!

yup. They're neck and neck with KSU in the BCS today and clearly have higher ranked opponents left.

#7 #9 & #17 >>> #14 & #23

the thing that could upset the apple cart is if Oregon's remaining opponents of note nosedive outside of their Duck matchup, but today I'd say they're more likely to emerge vs the SEC if both they & KSU win out

The Ducks would get in before KSU if they both win out. No conference championship game would doom KSU. Of course I don't expect either team to win out though.

they'd taken their chances in Eugene.[/B]

This year's game was to be @KSU, wasn't it?

Kansas State and Oregon have decided to cancel their football series scheduled for 2011 and 2012.

K-State athletic director John Currie announced the decision in a letter to fans posted on K-State's website. Neither school will owe a financial penalty, Currie said.
The Wildcats were scheduled to open the 2011 season in Eugene, Ore., with the Ducks visiting Manhattan in 2012. Currie said the possibility of a nine-game conference schedule necessitated the change.

"I am confident that we will reach our goal of having seven home games in 2011, but there are still a few moving parts," Currie wrote. "We are still on track to have our 2011 schedule in place and announced in the near future."

K-State still has a home-and-home series scheduled against Miami in 2011 and 2012
