If the coach's pole had any honor they would send a delegation to Oregon and apologize

haie

How's @Jaredsawyer CBD company doing? Did he have to fall back on his financial services career?

Did he figure out that receding hairline?

He appears to be hitting a bit of dead end with his Oregon degree. SAD!

I'm getting tired of seeing those same four teams on top

Brock is right, this shit is becoming unwatchable. We? are addicts who are pot committed and will continue to tune in to watch yet another meaningless Kraft Fight Hunger campaign. Whatever, you won't lose us.

But new fans? Casually interested fans? Hard to see them giving a shit when the parity gap gets blown open even wider with every passing year and the truly unique aspects of college football continue to get watered down. It's a sport that's fast becoming NFL-lite, with much worse athletes, and none of the competitiveness that makes the NFL so appealing in the first place.

The nfl has far more parity. At the end of the day I would like to see more teams too, but not at the expense of the best teams. The top 4 are definitely consistently better than the rest of cfb. Just have to beat them.

Georgia came close. LSU broke through. They need more consistency though.

Whenever I see the logo I immediately think ass to mouth

When I switch to the BBC channel it’s very disappointing.

Every team above Zeros except for Cincinnati and maybe North Carolina would name the score on the Ducks if they wanted to.

If he's talking about overall Pac-12 disrespect.... See same comment above. Still applies.

That's my point, the NFL emphasizes parity and enforces it at every opportunity.

Cfb is an anarchist sport that continues to loosen already loose reins on the little parity that did exist. "Just have to beat them" is a little late. Nobody has beat them and we're going into year 7 of the same teams dominating the sport with no long-term challengers in sight.

Preseason polls are mostly meaningless . . . This season’s more than ever, particularly for the PAC-12 teams (after the abbreviated clusterfuck last year).

Wrong.

Preseason polls either have some predictive capability or worse yet, are meaningful because they help determine who makes the playoff because they influence who gets attention all season long.

This, if UW was not ranked in 2016. Not sure we get the nod

With the questions at QB, I’m not sure Oregon is a top 10 team, but it may not matter with how good the OL and defense is expected to be.

I get that, but punishing the teams for being too good and trying to control the money they make and dumb it down so the handicapped programs can compete is stupid too. Care more. Be better.
