    Agreed. Mariota is damn good. He's thrown two picks* all year!

    In years past, I never fully got on the Oregon bandwagon. I am this year. They are really good. Mariota is the best player in CFB and Freeman gives them a power runner to get tough yards the other scat backs sometimes couldn't. They are also catching the rest of the country at the right time when there are no dominant teams.

    They're more physical in general than they've been since 2001. I like this team and do think they have a great shot to win out, especially against the probable field. This has been a down year of sorts with no truly "dominant" team, and Oregon is playing the best football they've played all year, they're peaking at the right time. I think they're due, but Derek is absolutely right. Mariota has looked average when he's been pressured and forced to throw into tight windows, and there will be defenses in the playoffs capable of forcing that issue. Oregon is executing at a high level right now, so in the end, I do like their chances, but also wouldn't bet against them losing to an Alabama or FSU due to the points Derek is making. We'll see what happens.

    Classic fusky flame!!!! Even better because I don't think you meant it as one.

    Oregon fans are sensitive because we say they only win things in down years.

    I posted this week on open season that it's a down year for the Heisman the Pac12 and the National Championship.

    Nobody bit

    The script has been burnt. Mosster's cats have been plungered. Helfrich didn't eat too many taters before the game and Pellum's defense showed up big time. Who does Oregon draw in the first round of the playoffs and how well will they match up against the mystery team in question? The only thing for certain is that it probably won't be Alabama. I'm hoping FSU.

    If I were you, I would hope for TCU. TCU has overachieved this year and Oregon has more talent than them. FSU has looked shitty at times this year, but they have won 28 in a row, and their players have played in a lot of tough games when the chips are down.
    The biggest difference in TCU this year and TCU the last 2 years is competent QB play.

    TCU winning/sharing the Big 12 title is hardly a shock to me.

    I'm not surprised you're not surprise. You predicted UW to go 12-1 and win the North. You're a doogfroog.

    1) Easy to call out the times I'm wrong but not when I'm right

    2) I still believe that there was a path to 12-1 this year with better QB play ... the difference between 8-5 and 11-2 or thereabouts this year was fairly slim

    3) I believe that I made comments on this board before the season saying that I wouldn't be surprised if TCU won the Big 12 ... also believe that I have consistently cited that the problem with TCU the last 2 years was QB play and that the defense was playing well enough for them to win at a high level in the Big 12 IF the QB play caught up (which it did this year).
