Oregon just went into Salt Lake City and absolutely dominated the Utes. It wasn't even a competition. During that beat down it was so clear that Oregon is on another level. Here was Utah, at home, 6-1 and two time reigning PAC-12 champions and Oregon went into Rice Eccles Stadium and completely dominated them. It wasn't even close, it never was.

Oregon is showing they are above the PAC-12. What I find humorous is even though Oregon lost to Washington, the Ducks will likely be one spot behind the fuskies in the first CFP rankings and everyone is talking about how good Oregon is while if anyone mentions Washington, it's that they barely escaped wins vs Arizona State and Stanford. Washington may have won the battle in Seattle but they clearly are not going to win the war.

Oregon is poised to take the conference this year and with only 1 loss they will be in the CFP and that is where this gets very interesting. I don't see any team out there that is leaps and bounds better than the top 5 teams. Oregon is definitely within that top 5 reference. The Ducks have it all. Heisman caliber QB, two incredible RB's, two WR's who are as good as any WR duo in the country, solid TE, and a great defense. Oregon is there folks.

This may be the year. Last year of the PAC-12, win the last PAC-12 title, get into the playoffs as a PAC member for the last time, and go out as a national champion! This certainly feels like the year it can happen.

Wow. Go Ducks!

In the PAC, for sure.
 
Washington is better.

And UCLA has a great defense. 4th in sacks and tied for 8th in ppg allowed. Just 15ppg.
 
but Washington is better. EOT
 
Everyone see's now, 2 weeks after that game in Seattle that Oregon is actually the better team. UW is going to trip up at some point, and Oregon will get a rematch vs UW in Vegas. Oregon wins that game and everyone knows it.
 
Since the Oregon/UW game both teams have trended in opposite directions. Oregon has gotten better and shown it, UW meanwhile escaped a game vs ASU and Stanford. Both games they easily could've and maybe should've lost.

Would we be typing that UW is better and more capable of winning the PAC and making the CFP if they had 2 losses to ASU and Stanford and Oregon just had the 1?

No, but your fairy tale didn't happen

Since that game one team has a perfect record and the other just finally picked up a quality win.

I hate losing, but sometimes losing makes you stronger. Oregon isn’t a lock for the playoffs, but continue winning and you can make a strong case.
 
What is the media attention? It's all Oregon, Washington is an afterthought because everyone knows they are going to drop one or two games before December and they will end up losing to Oregon if they meet again in a PAC-12 title game. Seriously uw should have 2 losses vs the 2 worst teams in the conference...
