    Hard to say

    if you look at each game though, the only one that was close enough to argue it could have easily went the other way would have been Texas Tech. Maybe some mediocre QB play would have turned the WSU & USC games, but both of those games were at Autzen; that makes a difference. I think worst would be 9-3; more likely 10-2

    the scoring margins:

    +74...+8...+45...+36...+36...-3...+14...+29...+44...+9...+36...+24. There's a lot of room for error in those margins

    I'm pretty sure, if Nix has left after last season, that the Ducks would have went to the transfer portal for a QB. Ty Thompson sure wasn't ready

    the other side of that is if Nix would have remained healthy all of last season. Would the Ducks have been 11-1 after the civil war game? I think so. The CCG against Utah might have been a tough re-match though

    Disagree. Thus far, Michigan's best win of the year is vs then #10 Penn State on the road while tOSU's best win was at home vs then #7 Penn State. The only other time either school played another ranked school this year was when the Buckeyes took down #9 Notre Dame in South Bend. For Oregon to make the final four they'll have beaten #4 Washington (I'm assuming they beat WSU today) on a neutral field next Friday. They also beat then ranked #19 Colorado, #13 Utah & #16 Oregon State with combined scores of 108-19

    Especially given the dominant roll the Ducks have been on since their close road loss to then #7 UW, I think it's very likely the Ducks control their own destiny

    The drones were impressive.

    Looking at the tweets from Digital Dam, I hope that guy isn't betting with his opinions. Damn! Don't let emotion get in the way of reality.

    Pretty safe to say Digital Dam is one of those engagement accounts who is just pandering to what his followers want to hear and doesn't believe most of what he's tweeting.

    Assuming UO beats Washington, it doesn’t do anything IMO

    Daniels had a good game for LSU but not one of the staggering games he was having. I think Bo is still the leader for Heisman.

    Ohio St should be ranked ahead of Oregon on Tuesday.

    If Oregon beats Washington on Friday, they should jump both Washington and Ohio St.

    I wouldn't worry about it. I think they could lose today and it wouldn't really impact Oregon's chances; but they won't lose, so it doesn't matter.

    Problem is that the East coasters don’t look at the ranking at the time of the game. They look at the ranking now and they’re already spinning that we don’t have a ranked win. Watch them drop OSU out of the top 25 lol

    If Utah loses to Colorado that’s gonna kill that win for UO.

    I believe they have 2 top 25 wins.

    Penn State and Notre Dame are still ranked, too.

    I believe, with a loss to Ore, UW would be ranked higher than Penn State. Notre Dame ranked ahead of OSU, so I think Oregon would have the better win and neither of them have a bad loss.
