Everything Chip Kelly said about Oregon during his weekly press conference

Disagree. If they handle UCLA rather easily then I don't see them losing another game. I don't think we will handle them easily. We all know how good a coach Chip is. After a bye week, beating him, even in Autzen is going to be tough.MikeSeaver said:

They’re scoring at a higher PPD rate than any of his years as the Oregon HC.
Nearly 4pts per drive excluding garbage time. That’s impressive.
College football doesn’t work that way.
If it did Oregon is smashing Washington based on the Arizona and Standford games.
None of us believe that to be the case. -
Really should have done so after the loss to Montana.46XiJCAB said:
If UW loses to Cal this year, just shut it down, put it up on the rack and give it a complete diagnosis.DerekJohnson said:

So if Oregon wins by 4 what does that mean? .500 rest of the way? Or do we have to wait until Utah to REALLY see what this team is made of?SFGbob said:

If a blowout means something so would any other result.
Individual game results mean nothing. They are vastly overrated in college football due to so few games and unbalanced schedules. It’s just something we tell ourselves. -
After Oregon takes care of UCLA by whatever margin, they’re going to kick the shit out of Utah.

I don't know who is coming out of the 4 team race to make the championship game in Vegas, but either way I'm rooting for 46X and his crew to jump headfirst into Triangle Lake.

Too late as I’ve already done that many times. I was out having fun as a teen.haie said:I don't know who is coming out of the 4 team race to make the championship game in Vegas, but either way I'm rooting for 46X and his crew to jump headfirst into Triangle Lake.
You? You were the loser sitting at home watching Star Trek reruns. Friendless.
You were also the kid picking your nose in the back of the class. Still friendless. -
I mean, yeah, the transitive property arguments get real stupid real fast. That's why I tend to make fun of those arguments, which are invariably based in homer-bias thinking and typically used to substantiate an argument someone wants to make. With that said, there has been some small amount of sorting going on in the conference and a lot more to come. As much as I hate to say (hi @coronabruin ), UCLA has done enough relative to schedule to suggest they are one of the top teams in the conference. Arguably Ute as well by beating SC. UCLA will be the tell on what Oregon is this season, but agree it doesn't mean that they're then set up to wax UW. That's a difference game altogether.MikeSeaver said:

I agree that they are not mathematical proofs informing what will happen in the future. But they do inform. For example, if a team hasn't played anybody yet and then wins or loses big when they do play somebody, you have relevant information as the result of that game. Look at UW for a recent example. Running through the first part of their schedule had hopes pretty high, and then Michigan State continued to show who they are and then UW ran into UCLA. All of sudden, the party has been put on hold even with a 5-2 record.MikeSeaver said:

What is meaningful so far this season is beating teams when playing on the road (away games) . . . e.g., See Washington vs. UCLA & ASU.

The games matter as a whole which I stated earlier. Not individually as an indicator wether or not a team is good or can beat another team down the road.creepycoug said:

UO getting beat by Arizona in 2014 while smashing everyone else to bits. Then again by ASU in 2019 as a couple of examples. Neither game on the calendar had people saying “This week will tell us what Oregon is really about.” And if they had they would have been wrong. You can have a bad day or a good day that is no indication of how you will perform the next week or the week after.
It’s just not. College football is far and away the best example of it not being the case yet it’s where we say it the most.
