Oregon Ducks 2024!

Once in a lifetime experience though. You got to live a bit.

 

Pretty wild that the only team to go undefeated in the country, who won a power-2 conference, was rewarded with a draw that is likely to put them up against the #2-4 teams with the best title odds; the last two of those being against Texas in Dallas and Georgia in Atlanta.

I'm willing to bet it'll be the most difficult draw the #1 seed will ever face in the playoffs, looking backwards or in the future.

 

Yeah, If Lanny and Team pull this one off, unbelievable!

 

Is anyone really gonna tell Penn State they didn’t earn it if they blow through their games on an easier path?

 

I volunteer.

 

just received a heavy hint as to what my Christmas present might be from Pops

How’d you like a brother? I’m available for adoption.

 

Doesn't matter. You have to beat everyone if you're going to win it all. If you come out of the playoffs without a loss you flipping earned it.

 

I'm not sure "good" is the proper word. I'd say going 13-0, they earned a draw that wasn't the most difficult as possible.

 

Its like telling the #1 seed in the NBA to play the #4 seed in the 1st round, then the other two best teams in the league the following rounds, both on the road.

 

People keep saying this, but this simply isn't true. You don't have to beat "everyone" to win it all. In fact, no college football team has beat everyone.

If Georgia wins it all, they will not have beat "everyone", because 2 of the top 4 teams will have been eliminated before they play them. So no, you don't have to beat all the toughest teams to win the championship.

 

I'm not sure. The rankings are so jacked up that I'm not really sure how much it matters. 1-8 are probably going to be very tough games.

 

But they had to beat the teams who were better than those teams. And proved it, on the field.

 

Vegas would disagree that 1-8 are mostly interchangable. There's a clear gap between the top 4 and the next group. So happens Oregon would have to play the other 3 top 4 teams with their bracket. The other side would have to play 1.

 

And that's far better than it has ever been before.
