Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Don't buy the Quook propaganda!!!
Last year Stanford beat Oregon, won the North, won the Pac-12, and won the Rose Bowl. Oregon lost to Stanford, didn't win the North, didn't win the Pac-12, and won the Fiesta. Quooks were all in unison saying Oregon has a better season because they finished the season ranked higher.
Head-to-head, division champion, conference champion, Rose Bowl champion > Fiesta Bowl champion and higher final ranking.
Quooks will tell you Oregon is better this year as well, even though we were massacred by Stanford, lost the division to them, and won a gas station bowl.
Head-to-head, division champion, conference champion, Rose Bowl appearance > Gas Station Bowl and higher final ranking.
Stanford is a better program than Oregon right now, trying to church that up is part of the problem.

But you pose two wildly different scenarios. In the first, it's less clear. In the latter, it's obvious. This year, no question Furd had the better season. They'll be ranked higher and lost to a good Big 10 opponent in the Rose. The Alamo is the Alamo and Oregon finished the season miserably. Frankly, they didn't look that great against Texas either.
But last year? Stanford barely beat them. That coming on the heels of two ass throttles going the other way when they had Harbaugh and Luck. And winning the Fiesta bowl like they did against a pretty good K State team ... I don't know man. Did Furd technically have the better season last year? Sure, the conference champhionship defines that. But at that point were they the better program? Hardly. The seasons were fairly comparable at that point and Kelly was still there. This year is altogether different.
The Quooks are totally wrong, but so are you Negaducks. Try to have some understanding of college football. There is no justice. Stanford lost three games, Oregon lost two. Shaw coached like an idiot in the Rose Bowl, and Helfrich wasn't Kelly in the Gas Station Bowl.
JFLIFPTFO!
Stanford beat Oregon head to head, had a better finish in the same division, and had a better non conference win.
Stanford 13 >>>> Oregon 13, wiff a bullet.
Head-to-head, division, conference, Rose Bowl > Fiesta Bowl. How you could even question this is CheswickFR.
Season or program? Oregon and Stanford were interchangeable last year. Oregon would've likely won the Rosebowl too. Furd won a nailbiter in Ugene and that's the difference. Minor.
This year, much different.
Are you saying 12 and 13 are the same? If you are you are Oregondawg stoopid. If you are not, then I love you.
