HAHAH??? WhAT?? tOSU lost to USC at HOME!!! as you could tell by the Pac 10 standings, they are a middle of the pac 10 team... Ur gonna tell me that ohio state is coming on the west coast and keeping up with masoli and james or the rodgers bros.?? I put money on either team beating ohio state. The spread will be -3 if Oregon plays and +3 if Oregon State plays (for the Oregon teams) but either will beat the might buckeyes
there are idiots everywhere so while I have hope, sadly I wouldn't be that surprised. With this cheerleader incident in the news, I'd expect there to be heightened attention and intolerance towards that sort of behavior. STOMP
Dude I dont think I can handle another game like that last night. The whole stinkin state of Oregon would be a mess.
side rant... unless my Ducks are in the mix for the year end top honor in the polls, their ranking pales in importance to just playing in the Rose Bowl. But could someone please explain how Ohio State is ranked above the Ducks? Both teams have two loses, but Ohio State's are to teams Oregon beat and one of those loses (Purdue) was at home. Oregon has the much stronger Strength of Schedule... Sagarin has the team's SoS's ranked #3 and #54 respectively. Is it subjective? I just STOMP
Well supposedly for ESPN we are ORST not OSU or OS....so thats a little disheartning in itself Like i said before, either oregon teams goes to pasadena and wins by at least a TD
if it's ya'll, I want to see some signs claiming the initials as yours... "THE" 21st Century OSU w/the Beav logo... stuff like that I've been to Ohio a couple times and was always happy to leave STOMP
Anyone else notice something neat about the SOS regarding the Pac-10? Oregon 3 OSU 24 ASU 20 Arizona 7 WSU 2 UW 1 USC 6 UCLA 10 CAL 14 STANFORD 13 I would think OSU's 24 is severely effected by PSU on their schedule, but think about those for a second. The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 7th, and 10th best SOS's all were in the Pac-10. And 10 of the top 24 SOS's were all in the same conference. Somehow I really doubt any other conference can even come close to saying that. I think the Pac-10's biggest problem is it doesn't have ENOUGH cupcakes (and they don't schedule teams like Florida International, or Chattanooga, or NC State, or Duke).
DOESNT MATTER SEC IS BEST! A bad and sloppy game is defined as such every where but the SEC where it is masked with pretty phrases like "WHAT A DEFENSIVE SLOBBERKNOCKER WE HAVE GOING ON HERE". Pac-10 will never get respect because of the East Coast Bias. Last year we went 5-0 in bowl games I believe, and hardly a mention was said about it. USC has routinely stomped out of conference teams everywhere they go outside of the Texas game, and pac-10 teams have far more competitive games against the Trojans but we're still called the Pac-1.
how is this a problem? Overall the Pac 10 has won more championships then any other conference. They consistently have as many NFL players as the SEC and anyone else. They've been fairing pretty well in inter-conference & bowl games (particularly the Rose Bowl), but still an East Coast bias exists. I think thats understandable as people are biased towards their own interests and a lot more people are found east of Pac 10 country and holding zero Pac 10 rooting interests then not. Conversely, lots of people living in Pac 10 country hold rooting interests to the East as thats the way the country has filled up. This dynamic isn't going to change real soon. Besides I like to see competitive games rather then mismatches... good to see the new BCS rankings make more sense STOMP
I meant that in a sarcastic sort of way. The Pac 10 has 6 teams who are above .500 in conference, and 7 that are bowl eligible. It's just too good for ECB to realize they're better than they give them credit for.
