Of the entire team, 2 deep (44 players) on the depth chart, we're losing 3 or 4 only. Considering how we've been dominating college football since the Cal game I think next year (despite a very tough schedule) we're going to be a very real threat for the BCS National Championship game.
UO always gets screwed by the BCS. Our best shot was back when we had Joey Harrington, and we STILL didn't get in the title game. Would we have beaten Miami that year? Probably not, but we definitely would have given them a better game than the fucking Huskers.
Lets get throught this next week before we even start talking about the week after... let alone next year.
lol sorry I jsut remember Stanford knocking UO out of Rose Bowl contention in 95.. and if we can beat Stanford in 2001 we arent even talking about BCS screwing us and Nebraska playing the U.
Isn't that the gosh awlful truth. We just get hosed. But next year could be our year as we're going to be very experienced at every position on the field.

Don't give me this bullshit. Don't. Just like being a Blazer fan, being an Oregon Duck Football fan is an exercise in heartache and frustration. 2001.... #2 in both polls, and getting jumped by a Nebraska team that lost it's conference title game 62-36. They got pummeled by Miami. Oregon went on to destroy the team that beat Nebraska. No justice. 2007. Oregon flying high, ranked #2 in the BCS, seemingly on the easy train to the BCS title game.... then Dennis Dixon goes down. The team implodes. Duck fans are left with their jaws on the ground. Countless years of starting off fast, losing to teams that the Ducks have no business losing to, and it sending their season in a tailspin. So you'll forgive me if I don't start jumping up and puffing my chest out when there's still 4 conference games to go, any one of which could be a Duck loss if they get too big of heads.
Yeah, I can't blame you one bit. But I have a feeling we're going to have incredible depth and will be ready for anything that comes our way next season.
We have to play USC in LA next year. That is going to be the game that decides who plays for the national championship next year. Ducks will be better next year but so will USC.
Barring injuries, we'll be poised at least to have a good season based on returning players on both sides of the ball. The schedule, however, is BRUTAL next year: @Tennessee, who is going to be a good team next year @ Cal @ USC @ Oregon State It's a pretty big assumption to think we'll make it through all four of those unscathed.
Beawho? j/k My second favorite team is the Beavers. I will never understand that Beaver and Duck hate. It's great for the state when both programs are strong. The state of Oregon used to the football toilet of the nation. There was talk of both teams leaving the Pac-10 because we could never compete.
