Well Oregon had just beaten FSU by 40 and had the Heisman winning QB on their side so that probably had a lot to do with it. I don't think it deserves to be on a list of illogical betting lines let alone on top of one.



Ohio State dropped 59 on Wisconsin and 42 on #1 Alabama, and you think it was logical that Oregon was going to be able to slow Zeke and outscore OSU ?

Ohio State beat Oregon 42-20 and Zeke ran for 217.
I thought that even Ray Charles could see that coming.

Never said that

Yes, that Oregon offense was on fire that year and didn't look like it could be stopped

We know that now, the oddsmakers unfortunately can't factor in hindsight into their lines

I'm not saying I would have taken Oregon -6, I just don't think it was as absurd at the time as you're making it out to be by putting it #1 all time. We know the result now so it's easy to say these things

How much money did you make off that game, Walter Abrams?
