Just Curious Duck Fans
I know Helfrich does a lot and you have a system in place, just don't know much about your offensive staff outside Greatwood and Campbell.
Thanks, and I hate you all.

Matt Lubick, our receivers coach. He turned the potential into absolute gold. It would be hard to find an overall receiving core better than Stanford, Allen, Carrington, and Marshall. It's probably top 5 overall in the country, and the best returning player Addison has been hurt all year.

And I thought you were going to ask the Ducks how they were feeling about potentially having to line up against TCU in the Rose Bowl.

I'd rather play Florida State in all honesty, but I think IF they beat Georgia Tech, they'll pass TCU, then it will be a scramble for #4. However, I think the committee already made the statement by TCU passing FSU. If TCU beats Iowa St., which they will, they will take over the #4 spot. I think that's right, because yes Baylor won the head-to-head, but it was a by a field goal, and TCU had dominiated 3 1/2 quarters of that game. Plus, Baylor needs to be made an example of. If you play a non Big 5 OOC, and insult it further by playing bad non Big 5 teams, you deserve to be left out.Tequilla said:And I thought you were going to ask the Ducks how they were feeling about potentially having to line up against TCU in the Rose Bowl.

I tend to agree that TCU moving to #3 is a positive statement and that TCU is in good shape barring that they don't have a repeat of what happened against Kansas. But in the grand scheme of things, TCU's body of work is pretty solid with only the Kansas game being one that you can take exception to.
I will be interested to see what happens if you get a situation of Georgia Tech, Wisconsin, and Kansas State win for what happens to the last spot.
The scenario that I worry the most about is what happens if Wisconsin and Kansas State wins. If that happens, then the SEC West would not only have the winner of the SEC, but LSU would have beat Wisconsin on a neutral field, Auburn would have beat Kansas State on the road, and Ole Miss would have beat Boise State on a neutral field. Hard in that position to not reconsider the power of a 2-loss Mississippi State team IMO. -
Which is why an 8 team playoff is needed. P5 conference champs, plus 3 at-large teams. Each conference is limited to two 2 team, and the MWC's of the world can get a spot if they finish in the Top 8 of the old BCS standings. Committee seeds 1-8 and picks the 3 OOC teams, with an auto-bid to a crap conference team that shocks everyone with an OOC that actually stands up by season's end. First round games are held at the higher seed, bowl structure stays the same as the current format.Tequilla said:I tend to agree that TCU moving to #3 is a positive statement and that TCU is in good shape barring that they don't have a repeat of what happened against Kansas.

The problem with the 8 team is if conference champs get auto bids? Could you imagine if the 2011 PAC 12 champ game ended with a ucla win in that year? Would you like a 7-6 team in a playoff?PDXDuckFan said:

As an 8-seed on the road at #1? Sure. Either that, or give each P5 conference the ability to name their playoff auto, even if they lose in the CTG. We fall into "why even play the games, then" debates if that's the case.greenblood said:Could you imagine if the 2011 PAC 12 champ game ended with a ucla win in that year?

I would like to see 10 teams in with #1 and #2 get byes the first week.

Lubick knows the plays, the team, loves the Ducks. It would be a natural progression. Frost is okay but if he leaves we will be fine. Feels good to say that.
