Oh dear! What will we do!?

After the last second loss to the #7 Washington Huskies on Saturday in Seattle, the #8 Oregon Ducks fall to #9.

LOL

That is straight up respect from the pollsters. They saw, they know. Oregon is a top team even with the 1 loss.

Playoffs in sight.

Oregon likely to drop at least another one.

Lanning makes bad calls.

Probably two. Utah and Oregon St.

OP still seems like he’s in shock.

Bo Nix didn’t get it done. He never really has against a top 10 team

Cannot wait for the Beavers

Just couldn't get it done in the 4th quarter like a real champion Heisman.

Amirite @OregonDucks

Should try losing another one to really test fate

duckboy33 · Oct 17, 2023

Ducks lost any wiggle room they had. They should be favored in every game for the remainder of the season but Utah, Oregon State and USC will be tests. If Oregon is the team I think they are, they will win out and get another shot at UW (or whoever) in Las Vegas.

Oregon is the dog for the Utah game.

Utah -2.5 as of this morning.

Complete disrespect for a top 10 team. I'm more confident now than ever in a complete and utter annihilation of the Utes.

Oregon by 30+.

Wizardhawk · Oct 17, 2023

The thing is, the losses often come to teams you don't expect and are favored to beat.

We watch top 10 teams fall every week to that.

If Utah beats USC this weekend, I expect that line to go up. Oregon is gonna get soaked by the Mormons...right on the butt hole.

I'd be very surprised if that's the line that is released on Sunday by the majority of bookies. Maybe if they get word that Cam Rising is playing.

Do we really though?

In the entire season, there's been 3 teams that were in the top 10, were favored to win and lost.

Alabama lost to Texas
Texas lost to Oklahoma
Notre Dame lost to Louisville

All three times they played teams that were also ranked and the line was in single digits.

Honestly seems like a preseason line. I doubt any bookie is letting you get Oregon +2.5 right now

Throw this in learn something new everyday. Only 35% of University of Utah enrollment is mormon. BYU is 98%.

Yeah, thats hard to believe that’s the line right now

I don't know if that's true, but I'd bet it won't stay that way. Injuries mount up on top of the generally increased challenges of the second half of the season vs the mostly softer first halves and there will be upsets.

I know at one point I looked back and over the last 40 years the Pac only gets an undefeated champion about once a decade on average. Lately we've seen 2 loss teams in the CCG because of how much parity there was.

There's a lot of football left and I'd put the odds of both of our teams winning out to the rematch in Vegas to be pretty slim. Under 10%.

If Bo or Penix go out for a few games it changes things a lot obviously, but that's not the only way either loses games.
