SlyPokerDog prediction... (This is based on Ducks beating the Fuskies.) If 'Bama beats Georgia in the SEC title game the 4 playoff teams will be... Bama, Georgia, tOSU, Michigan. (Yes, 3 1 loss teams and none are the Ducks) The playoff committee is that weak and 2 SEC teams and 2 Big 10 would make the networks orgasmic. If Georgia beats Bama then the Ducks are in. .... It will be interesting to see if 1 loss Ohio State is ranked above or below the Ducks on Tuesday.
I agree they would never ever let 2 sec and 2 big ten over three 1 lost conferance champions. If the ducks beat the huskies they are in no matter what. Everyone in the country knows how good the ducks are playing. They are the 3rd best odds of winning the championship and after they beat the huskies they will be 2nd best odds of winning it all. If Georgia loses the ducks will probably be the favorite. It seems crazy but that is how good the ducks are playing right now. Ohio State doesn’t play anymore games and ducks will probably be #5 with Ohio State #6. The huskies will be #3 and if the ducks beat them will be #3 or #4. I’m not worried about Ohio State I’m more worried about Texas which would get in before Ohio State if they won the big 12.
Last week Oregon beat #16 Oregon St while Texas beat an unranked team, so I doubt Texas jumps Oregon this week. Next week, Texas has #20 Oklahoma St left. Oregon has #3 Washington left, so I can't see them jumping Oregon there either.
I agree they can’t jump us if we beat the huskies. I was trying to say they would get in before a second big 10 or even a second SEC team would get in.
I know we don’t like to think like this but the Ducks still need to beat the team that is ranked higher and beat them already once this year. Bottom line if they lose they are done.
I agree. Even though I think the ducks are a lot better team the huskies just don’t lose. They seem to find a way to pull out a win. Their coach has over 100 wins against 11 loses for his career. He just doesn’t lose. The huskies got a good coach and should do everything they can do to keep him. The ducks imho out played them in husky stadium. Lanning lost that game with some bad play calls.
Texas fans are working overtime trying to convince the world that they should be in over Oregon if we beat Washington.
Refs cost the Ducks like 14 points last time they played Huskies. Step on them early and often, and don't stop.
On top of that. If there is a chance to run the score up at all you have to make the decision to do so. The bigger the win the better. You can bet the Huskies will do the same as to make an impression with anyone on the committee for the playoffs.
