But to think that aren't thats delusional too, they are playing their best football in 6 years. I think calling the USC game an escape is kinda lame. They won plain and simple, When cal beat oregon, no one was talking that cal escaped that game, everyone just clowned oregon for that fumble.
What does playing the best ball in 6 years have to do with them being in danger of NOT going to the NC game? Its a FACT that they are NOT guarnteed a spot in the NC game if they win out...that is the POINT of the argument here.
No, Cal ESCAPED that game too...I know that and everyone else who has half a brain should too.
Look, I am not taking anything away from Oregon. YES, they are a good team. They look dynamic on offense and incosistent on defense. However, they beat an ASU team that had played NO ONE until they met Oregon and lost, and Oregon beat a USC team that that had a backup QB, and a banged up OLine...and STILL only "escaped". However, the computers see the # next to the school name and thats all that matters.
Oregon is DONE with their meaty schdule, and play cupcake teams in WSU, a schizoprhenic UCAL team, and a OSU team that has a banged up Bernard and a QB that has more picks than TD's this year. OSU does, however, have a vicious defense...maybe the best Oregon will face all year save for USC, in which they had their lowest YDS total against. That being said, Oregon has the EASIEST schedule to win out in compared to LSU, Mizzou, Oklahoma, and Kansas.
Oregon is NOT safe there and control their own destiny to be in POSITION to play in the NC game. But, they are gonna have to really score some points and blow these teams out of the water to have a chance to cement that position, and hope that some of these teams DO beat up on eachother.
