when Oregon are on the level of Ohio State, Florida, Alabama, and Texas as a program overall then I agree... Those are schools that recruit themselves, Big time kids come to them. Oregon is getting there but still not on that top tier of College Football.
Different perspective, I guess. I DO look back fondly on the 90 & 92 seasons (not so much on the 91, because I feel we lost to an inferior team). I only know one Ohio State fan, and he was pretty happy with both this season and last, despite not winning a national title in either. I personally would be thrilled with a run in which the Ducks played in 6 BCS bowls in 9 years, even if none of them resulted in a national championship. Excellence without perfection is still pretty damn good, and I think I would be pretty miserable as a fan if I couldn't enjoy anything but a title.
sorry I never answered the original question. Yes I do.. they finished undefeated along with only one other school, I have no problem with that. Do I think they are the 2nd best team? no, but if we were looking at seedings for a playoff... I'd be totally fine with them getting that #2 seed.
meh... wish we'd have won the NCG. Great season all in all regardless of what the final ranking is thats the way the current system works, so yes they deserve it STOMP
