I'll be straight forward with everyone here since based off my notifications every single person on this board is highly invested in my opinion and posts. I still do not feel well from the outcome of yesterday's game. My finger tips even get weak as I type and remember how the game ended up. Oregon had that game won, yes I know, but damn college football is a vicious mistress some times.

I still have a headache from the emotional rollercoaster that yesterday brought. My stomach is uneasy at times, but I am here. I am here because I woke up this morning and I saw Bo Nix's post-game press conference. The words this young leader, this young man spoke, was inspirational to anyone and everyone. He is here, he will be there and therefore I, like other Duck fans need to realize, we are all here together! Hearing Nix speak, seeing how we lost in the last second against a top 7 ranked team on the road, Oregon is still THERE.

It's all for the taking. Oregon controls it's own destiny still. Yes, yesterday may sting in the moment, but Oregon wins out and they are in the PAC-12 title game, win that or a rematch vs UW and win that and Oregon's still got a spot in the College Football Playoff. It's all still there. Yesterday sucked. But waking up this morning, shaking off the feeling of a loss, and hearing the inspirational words of the young leader Bo Nix had to say and seeing his vision and hearing his heart, is as inspirational as anything to keep pushing forward and keep our eyes on the rest of the season because it is all still THERE.

GO DUCKS!
 
Oregon is extremely fortunate to have such a great leader as our QB. This man deserves a shot in the playoffs and I fully expect and anticipate he will get that chance. This season is still early!

Amen, brother. He needs to go 0-5 against UGA in his career to cement his legacy. First round playoff exit on a platter, baby
 
Oregon does not control it's own destiny for the CFP. They currently still need teams to lose.

The chances of their being an undefeated acc, B1G, B12, and SEC champ are slim but it's still possible

I’d like to see the meltdown if the CFP puts in both Texas and Oklahoma and leaves out a one loss Pac 12 champ Oregon

You are misinformed. Oregon wins out and they are in. Just like had the beaten Washington and continued to win out they would be in. Yesterday's game, certainly because it was such a close game on the road, really doesn't hurt Oregon's playoff chances.

Oregon wins out and they are in, without question. Also many of the current top 10 teams still have to play each other and others will clearly not finish the year undefeated.

Oregon probably drops to only 11 or 12 after this loss and win out and they'll be #4 at the worst.

Nope. If Georgia, Ohio State/Michigan/Penn State, Florida State, and Oklahoma win out, Oregon is on the outside looking in. This is not up for debate
 
I saw that presser with Nix last night.

That reporter that asked him if he was aware he was 0-7 lifetime in road games vs AP top teams was just cold blooded.

I mean it's fine for fans to point out he's never won a high pressure road game in his entire career, but to ask him that right after that loss? Pretty harsh.

Let’s say UGA, Michigan and Florida State win out and both Texas and Oregon win their rematch. You think Oregon is getting in over Texas?

In what universe can penn state, Ohio state and Michigan win out? They play each other
 
Yes, a 1 loss Pac team needs some things to go their way (They need help, not entirely in their own hands) to reach the playoffs.

Having said that, if your only loss is vs a top 10 team the resume is as strong as you can have with 1 loss.

It's just scenario village stuff though guys, because there's no chance both UW and Oregon win out to the CCG to create his dream rematch. Both looked shaky in some areas yesterday and both have tough games the last month. The odds they both win out has to be under 10%.
