OT: Is OSU For Real?

Welcome to our community

I'd say "undecided", because while Wisconsin and UCLA were both ranked, I don't think most fans would say "they are who we thought they were". In a couple weeks if the Badgers and UCLA are taking care of who they should take care of, and OSU doesn't crap the bed, then you can make the case.

I mean, who knows if UCLA or Wisconsin is like Arkansas, who came in with a high ranking and lost to ULM and Rutgers and by 50 to Alabama?
 

I think you are making an early judgement. The beavs are maybe less to the Ducks in the Pac -12 (as the true dominant) but they are making the best turnaround story within the year. Let's see if the Ducks can get their national title eh?

I expect the Ducks to lose one, maybe even two games this year. I don't think they'll be in the Natty. Most likely they'll play in the Rose Bowl again.
 
The Beavs are for real. I'm convinced we can beat the Ducks now.
 
Long way to go obviously, but if we stay healthy we can do it.

I have to admit the Beavers are playing very well. They're stopping the run and making enough plays on offense to get the job done. Manion is very adept throwing over the top so the linebackers can't cheat in at all. I really like the way they play.

All that said, I think Oregon's defense is deeply talented and will take the day when they play OSU.
 
...so far, the answer is yes, this Beavers team is ranked #14 [for reals, not for "fakes"]!
 
You're crazy if you dont think the Beavs are for real now. Or you havent watched any of their games. The D is damn good, Mannion is the best passing QB in the Pac 12, they have good WR's, and a decent run game.
 
Three wins against average/slight above-average teams, and we're already crowning them Pac-12/Rose Bowl champs and Civil War victors :lol:

Didn't the Beavers just barely eek out a FG win against the same team the Ducks slaughtered 49-0 the week before?

All true.

2 of those quality wins are on the road.
Yes, but it was in AZ.
As of now, Beavs schedule is more difficult than Ducks. Ducks havent even had a real road game yet!
I agree, its crazy right now to think the Beavs could beat the Ducks. IMO, Ducks are obviously the better team.
