Oregon makes the playoffs

Awfully warm for January

three games to go and I just cannot say we are in until we are

I'll always cherish this magical mythical November playoff berth for Oregon.

I'm getting the 8-1 T-shirts printed as we speak.

60/40 you make the playoffs. Big game this weekend and the PAC 12 championship won't be a gimme. The issues with the OL seem to be in the past, but your defense still is capable of getting lit up.

If you get in, I think you have a pretty good chance of winning it.

Nope. Another OL injured. Now Pierson down.

I think Oregon makes the playoffs, and gets the SEC plunger in the semi final.

The SEC West is easily the best conference, but part of the reason Miss State and Ole Miss are contending is because Alabama and LSU have slipped a little. They have four really good teams and another strong team in LSU. The conference is great, but I don't think the teams are nearly as good as Alabama from the past few years or Auburn with Cam Newton. Oregon or Florida State can beat them. They will have the best QB's. Either way it will be interesting.

FSU can. They did it last year. Even though this isn't really last year's FSU.

Oregon isn't strong enough at the line of scrimmage to play with the elite teams, and the secondaries of those SEC teams get overlooked a bit. Mariotta would have a tough time throwing.

That is one nice wet pussy.

Oregon isn't as good as they were either. That's the problem for the PAC 12 honks. People assume Bama is down, but the next four weeks tell the tale. The early season was about Mississippi. November is about Alabama, Auburn and LSU

Oregon should cruise to the playoffs. They are clearly the best the west has to offer

Oregon's overall roster isn't as good as it once was, but having Mariota matters. Mariota, Freeman, and Tyner is better than any QB-RB combo Oregon has ever had. It's not even that close. James, Barner, and DAT were good, but Freeman's size and power gives them a different dimension at RB, and you can't even compare Mariota to Thomas or Masoli.

Oregon has scored 45+ on Michigan State, UW, and Stanford. Mariota and their offense will get theirs against anyone. Their OL has looked good since Fisher came back. I thought Oregon would lose 2+ games this year, but they have been lights out since the Arizona game. This is the first year I have thought they had a chance. Last year when they were getting pumped up, I thought Florida State or Alabama would beat them rather easily say 34-17.

Alabama is still really good, but they have slipped. It's obvious when watching them. Their OL isn't anywhere near as good as it was 2 years ago. They don't run the ball as well. Sims isn't as good as McCarron. Auburn is really good, but has also gotten really lucky the past two years. Miss State hasn't been playing as well the past few weeks. All of the SEC West teams are really good, but none of them are great or unbeatable. I don't think there is a dominant team in CFB this year.

Oregon always looks unbeatable, until they lose.

It was obvious Oregon would have gotten smoked by Alabama and FSU last year before they had lost a game. In this dreckest year of college football (in terms of great teams), Oregon can win.

I like how this year's Oregon team looks stronger as the season wears on rather than weaker, like last year's team. Instead of imploding after a shitty loss and continuing to spiral downward, they've improved and shown resilience. Freeman's nickname is Business. Maybe he businesslike attitude and the way he gets shit done has rubbed off on the collective psyche of the team.

I will buy this after we beat the Utes, and not a moment sooner.

Allegedly.
