Bring on Oregon
- Thread starter PennSt8er
- Start date
We'll definitely be ahead of them--that Michigan loss is bad--really, really bad.
If we beat Oregon, we will have defeated all 4 of the new PAC teams in the B1G this season
I'm talking about hypotheticals and how we'll be seeded compared to OSU after the CCG should we lose to Oregon, at which point we'd have 2 losses.
And did not look great vs Idaho and Boise St. They must have some weaknesses.
Early in the season doesn't necessarily mean a lot--they've beat some good teams since then
They're not unbeatable though--that's for sure. Maybe our worst matchup other than Ohio State though
It's not a good matchup but it's not a terrible one either. The neutral field will help. They are far better at home than on the road. Not claiming we are a favorite, but we have a much better shot in Indy than out there
Oregons first half against Washington at home is identical to ours. We also played Wisconsin better than they did. They played Ohio State better but then again we have a mental block against Ohio State and they don't.
His expectation can't be different than reality
It's either the expectation or it isn't
Sure--Indy is better than Eugene
It's one of our worst matchups on paper though. I'd rather play any SEC school.
Not saying we can't win--we just aren't supposed to so if we do tons of kudos going to James
Gabriel is what worries me most about Oregon--we haven't played anyone like him. He's basically Howard with accuracy plus you add in his experience--most college starts ever I believe (or at least close)
Oregon is doing what they're supposed to do--like we did against them
Not sure about the "hail" here
Well Wisconsin did something to him. I seem to recall them sending pressure and not giving him the edge. Game might be about 11 and 33 getting home, but then again maybe Allen puts 11 in the middle of the field as a spy on third down.
Oregon's had a few games this year where they could finish drives
Wisconsin held Gabriel in check but he still hit 70% + of his throws in that game. They were able to get some big sacks at key moments--hopefully we do the same
Expectation is set--see the line
His hope that we win making him think we win doesn't alter expectations
Lando, you're digging yourself deeper.
Expectation and the line are two different things.
Boxers don't enter a fight expecting to lose because the line says so.
You're clowning yourself here... BAD.
LdN
Boxers believing they can or will win doesn't alter the expectation--people lie to themselves all the time
Oh Lando, here you've boxed yourself into another losing argument.
Bless your heart.
LDN added to the list of posters who have schooled the psycho hater Lando
Not at all--this is just what you all do when you can't use logic
The expectation is that Oregon wins--that doesn't mean we can't win
I feel like our defense can keep us in games against anybody. It’s the offense I worry about.
I just did the math and the only way Alabama gets in is to jump Miami, but if that happens they will get the 11.
Receivers other than Warren are going to have to make plays. Dinkins being used more today made me very happy. Evans had a nice game too. Same with Omari Evans
What? Why?
Miami has lost 2 of their last 3 to GT and Syracuse (neither of them are ranked)
Their SOS is 45
Their best win is....Florida?
They probably should have lost to Va Tech and Cal for different reasons
The only way the ACC might get two teams is if Clemson beats SMU and SMU steals the final spot from the SEC
So you are going to keep Jalen Milroe out of the playoff?
So you are going to keep LaNorris Sellers out of the playoff?
Hunter and Sanders? Dart? Klubnik--the list is never ending of elite guys that won't be in
