OT: Oregon State ranked 10th.

Holy damn something is building up there in Corvallis.

Can't wait for the civil war.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Good for them. They'll see 3 or 4 loses this season, but I think will stay in the top 25.

The better they're ranked, the sweeter it will be when we knock them off in the Civil War.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

GO BEAVS!!

And Sean Mannion is out for the year with a busted knee.

What a real shame. They were having a special season (and deservedly so) and now this. I really feel sorry for them.

Mannion has a partial tear of the meniscus. He's having surgery tomorrow and should be out only a couple of weeks.

 

[ABM]

When was the last time both Oregon teams have been ranked this high at the same time?

Oregon State looked good tonight against BYU, I see them rising in the ranks

They did a very nice job. And so they're up to 8th.

Oregon State could be in the top 5 by the Civil War.

I see them with 2 losses before then and a 3 loss season.

Wow, you don't have much faith in them when backup QB Cody Vaz had a terrific game against BYU. Are you doubting that the Beavs aren't competitive? Wow, your mind is sure cloudy on the Beavers past 5 games so far.

In all fairness, he did post that before Vaz's performance in the BYU game.

Here's my thinking... (and please remember, OSU is my second favorite team- I hope they win every game they ever play except the civil war)

Last season they were 3-9 and were very young. This season they are still young and really don't have a lot of talented depth. Now I know Riley is one of the very best at coaching up kids, but still a team needs a certain level of overall talent to win so many games over a full season. So far they have played well and won a few close games that could have gone either way- but I don't see them doing this continually as teams without a lot of talent just lose a few as they get dinged up during the year. They still have UW, ASU, Stanford & UO. I see them losing 3 of those 4 as I think all those teams have more talent. And that's no shame at all. Now, maybe they only lose 2 of those and that's even better. I mean, I hope they win 3 of those 4, I really do. But it's just how I see it. And, I thought they'd lose to Wisconsin and they didn't... so they continue to surprise me.

Our stretch run is tough, but so is Oregon's tbh. I expect the Ducks to lose a couple before the end of the season and I expect one of those losses to be the Civil War.

I can understand thinking UO could lose a couple of games. But if so, one will not be to the Beavers.
