Folks sometimes we are presented a gift on the unlikeliest of days! Yesterday was certainly one of them! Oregon destroys Colorado just as everyone predicted, but WOW Saturday afternoon and Saturday night was WONDERFUL. Seriously, this weekend has been a GIFT for college football and it can't set up Oregon's path to the College Football Playoff any better. I. Am. JAZZED.
It's simple, Ducks win out and they are in the playoffs! I love love love love those chances! Oregon has heisman candidate and potential winner in Bo Nix leading the way and this is the rest of the path, THIS is how wonderful this weekend turned out to be to set up the Ducks resume. Georgia beats Tennessee, LSU beats Alabama, knocking the Tide out. ND beats Clemson (lol), good bye Bama and Clemson! The already #8 Ducks clearly move up.
Now, how does Oregon's resume sit? Well, Washington barely beats a ranked Oregon State team, likely putting the fuskies in the top 25 for this weeks game at Oregon. Best part, watching that fusky and rodent game, neither team striked me as capable of beating Oregon and fuskies won't beat Oregon at Autzen.
Then the following week is likely a top 12 ranked Utah team coming to Autzen. The Utes get Stanford this week and I doubt they lose, probably win something like a boring 28-17 type of game. So the Utes will come to Eugene as a top 12, potentially top 10 team. Oregon beats Utah, this has revenge game written all over it and no better time for such a game then when you're aiming for a CFP spot.
Then comes Oregon State. By the time this game rolls around the rodents should be back in the top 25 with wins over CAL and ASU. Giving Oregon 3 straight top 25 wins. And did I mention? Oregon State is not that impressive. They are seriously the little brother in this match up, they got grit and fight hard, but silly to think they overcome Oregon. Game turns out similar to last years, I'd almost say identical to last years game.
So after 3 straight top 25 wins, the Ducks head to the PAC-12 title game to take on either a top 25 ranked USC team or a rematch vs a top 25 UCLA team. USC has ZERO defense and UCLA, well we exposed UCLA. Either way, either opponent, Oregon wins and thus propelling them to the College Football Playoff.
The glorious thing about this is, the rankings will be there from the opponents, but Oregon is vastly superior in their remaining games. With heisman candidate Bo Nix leading the way, this Oregon offense, which is Chip Kelly Oregonesque type offense, a stout red zone defense, I don't see Oregon losing any of these games and they will get credit for beating top 25 teams on a weekly basis for the rest of the month.
I can't wait!!!! LOVE COLLEGE FOOTBALL!!!!!!!
