Alabama - Oregon was the presumed championship game. Why didn't the Sugar Bowl match the ducks and tide.

It seems to me a more interesting match-up than Alabama - Oklahoma, and I think Oregon fans would have spent much more money in a trip to the Big Easy.

I am anxious to see how well Sooner fans do on their ticket allotment and sales to the bowl in general.

Did the SEC powers in Birmingham hand-pick Alabama's opponent?

Honestly, bama fans - I am not trying to troll you. You're going to roll the sooners. Oregon would have made things interesting and good fun.

It's more about money than "fun matchups."




and yeah, look at what Stanford did to them.

Have you ever met an Oregon fan? I haven't. I'm sure you can find some real Duck fans in the Pacific Northwest, but elsewhere, the only Duck fans you are going to find are the lamest frontrunners imaginable. They aren't going to shell out money to see a two loss Oregon team get annihilated by Bama.

In contrast, OU has some dedicated mouthbreathers who will make the trip to New Orleans just for the hell of it.

Which PAC12 team could the media ride next season as the greatest of all-time IF the Ducks were to beaten by an SEC runner-runner up?

If this is a real question, probably has something to do with the pending Big XII/SEC matchup that will start next year for the Sugar Bowl.

Money. OU fans will travel better to New Orleans than Oregon. That brings in $$$$$$!
