    That's not true at all. I root for the Ducks when we don't play them. I'm certainly not disappointed when they lose though.

    BCS is all that really matters, and the "experts" predict Boise St. will be #1. Bullshit if you ask me! Ducks should be #1 in the BCS. We'll find out tomorrow.

    I'm with ya. I root for the Ducks... just not when they play the Beavs. I root for the Pac 10 when they arent playing the Beavs or Ducks.
    Beavers #1
    Ducks distant #2
    Pac 10 #3

    I expect BSU to be number one in the BCS standings when they come out. Sure, they played a crap team today and kicked their asses inside out, but they did play today. After last week, BSU caught up with Oregon a bit as we didn't exactly demolish a team we should have utterly destroyed. And since we didn't play this week, and BSU continued their cupcake party, I would assume they would surpass us. But, if we keep beating PAC 10 teams and Boise keeps holding serve against their terrible competition, we will eventually take over the number one slot, probably after next week if we beat UCLA in a decent way. I am honestly just enjoying this for now. Going through a tough conference like the PAC 10 undefeated takes all kinds of luck and perseverance. It could happen, but I wouldn't bet on it. I am enjoying the ride while it lasts and just hoping for the best.

    I wonder what OSU losing to UW does to BSU's strength of schedule? It certainly takes a hit and it will show up when the computer spits out it's rankings. Certainly the percentage pts will be closer between 1 and 2 than they were projected to be.

    An Oregon school has never been ranked #1, period.

    My facebook status: An Oregon college football team has NEVER been ranked #1 in the BCS... ever. Assuming Oregon will be #1, congratulations UO

    I have never posted or said anything like this about the Ducks in my life. But this truly is a great accomplishment. Give credit where credit is due.

    Early reports from ESPN have the BCS rankings going like this:

    1. Oklahoma
    2. Oregon
    3. BSU

    Its funny, doesn't matter what Oregon does, the national media won't give them their props. Oklahoma hasn't beat anybody worth a damn and they've played like shit in a lot of their games against scrubby teams.

    Wow.... if that's true, it will once again prove how ineffective the BCS truly is.

    If Oklahoma is playing that bad, I doubt they will stay in the top spot for very long.

    Ranked 1 or 2 doesn't matter. Either ranking will get you into the national championship game.

    If Cupcake State U is #1 in the BCS then the insult called the BCS just continues. Let's say both UO & Cupcake State U win out. We will have played several top 25 teams at season's end. Cupcake State? None. How does that justify a trip to the National title game? I mean if that's all it takes, line up 1 tomato cans and knock them off, then why not go independent and play a schedule like theirs?

    Bottom line is I don't think anyone knows for sure until they become official. I know in the past, the so called "experts" and "projections" have been completely wrong, unless there was an obvious #1.

    Just gotta wait until tonight.
