Oregon Ducks- 2010 National Champs?

...I just hope that they keep the silver feathers on the jersey!!!

 

So you don't see me posting:

How did the Broncos do last weekend?

 

I am predicting right now, this thread will jinx the Ducks! That or the teams above them aren't going to move down far enough =\

 

by ALWAYS do you mean one time in 2001? besides Miami would have wiped the field with that duck team, be thankful you beat the bufs and finished the year #2. i've seen you post this a couple times and am having a real hard time coming up with any other time they were screwed.

 

I agree. Both Duck and Beaver fans should be proud of their teams in the last past 8 years for making the state of Oregon out of the Pac-10 cellar. Its the state of Washington thats hurting right now in the football program. Duck fans, stop hating the Beavers so much and vice versa.

 

Not in my lifetime.

 

I disagree. I think Oregon would have killed Miami 87-0.

Ridiculous? It's just as valid as your opinion, since they never played, and it's beside the point that Oregon was denied their earned opportunity to play in Nebraska's place.

 

it is all opinion but looking at the #'s that miami team went undefeated, uo did not. miami won by an average of 33 points/game, oregon won by 13. miami beat 5 teams ranked in the top 14, oregon beat 4 teams in the top 22. and that miami team basically went wire to wire at #1, only dropping as far as #2. it's true that we will never know but miami would have been heavily favored in that game and most likely would have won.

i am still waiting for all these other examples of how the bcs has screwed oregon? anyone? anyone? bueller?

 

After an ugly beginning to the season, Oregon began to fade in the minds of many top recruits. But five-star DE Owamagbe Odighizuwa and many other top recruits saw the recent 47-20 blowout of USC in person and it left quite an impression.

 

that problem can be solved by some downed trees

 

What about if they played for Nebraska? [/sarcasm]

Good post

 

the amazing thing when you look at the win margin is you would expect that they killed a bunch of crappy teams but their margin of victory over ranked teams is over 30 pts/game as well.

 

What did I say?

 

UO has never been screwed (and I'm a Ducks Fan)

2001? The Ducks lost 49-42 to unranked Stanford at home. Nebraska lost to #14 Colorado AT COLORADO. Yeah, it was 62-36. I saw the game. Colorado couldn't do anything wrong - they played out of their heads. And they were a better team than Stanford. It was a coin flip as to who deserved to play Miami. And I'm happy we didn't. That Miami team may have been the greatest college team ever. Andre Johnson, Clinton Portis, Jeremy Shockey, Jonathon Vilma, Ed Reed, and many more . . . they were just awesome.

As long as I've been a Ducks fan, they have only been as good as their offense. Gang Green? It's a myth. They gamble a lot, and some weeks it works. But it's never been dominant. And at least 2-3 times a year they get LIT UP. THAT'S why they will never win a National Title. They can't go 11 games w/o allowing a 40-50 point game or three. And it's tough to win when you give up 51 points. Nick "Allow-alot-y" needs to be fired. That Kamikaze defense lets us down every year. Man is sucks to lose 51-42 when you're ranked #8, but it's so Deja Vu. Another 9-4 Season seems in store, and probably another trip to the Holiday Bowl.
