This is the first weekend I will be able to watch either games on TV. ANybody know where and when the games are being broadcasted?
No "I believe" about it. Both games ARE on ABC. Ducks @ 12:30 and Beavers @ 5:00pm. Should be a fun day of college football for the state.
I would imagine that the Ducks would be strongly rooting for USC to win. If USC wins and then Oregon defeats USC, it looks much better in Oregon's strength-of-schedule for the BCS and is more impressive for the those who do the rankings as compared to beating two-loss, lower ranked USC team. That is my logical side coming through (from the perspective of a rational Duck fan - if I were a Duck fan). That being said - I'm a Beaver fan! GO BEAVS! Gramps...
Normally, I'd root for the Beavs against the Toe-jams, but in order for a couple things to happen: 1) ESPN College GameDay to come to Eugene next week; and 2) The Ducks' win in Eugene next week to be as meaningful as possible in the national rankings ... I need USC to win. Sorry, Beavs.
Maybe.. but I would assume that strength of schedule or not.. not enough will happen for the Ducks to make it into the National Championship game. So a cushion meaning that the Rose Bowl is that much easier to get to. However.. I could see it being better if USC wins against OSU AND Beats the Ducks next week. Oregon would look pretty decent as an at large bid for a game like the Fiesta Bowl being a 2 loss team that loses to a team in the top 5 and another team in the top 7.
Here is their schedule... at your fingertips. Cuz, you know, you are on the internet fams. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=oregon ducks schedule
What you do is drive down to "CornValley" and interrupt a Beaver Football fan while he is having sex with his sister and ask him when the next game is. He'll gladly put down his banjo and tell you!
