They too lost to the number 1 team, but the difference between them and Bama is they could actually win their conference. I wonder if they are bitching as much up in the northwest.

They also lost earlier and at a neutral site instead of at home.

I think every team in the top 2-6 will be arguing for a spot in the BCS title game.

If Oregon wins out, do they go to a conf. title game? If they do and then win, they def. have a better argument for a rematch than Bama.

Nope. Both have been beat by LSU and Oregon was taken to the wood shed. Bama also has a better SOS fwiw

Oregon would have one more game, if they win out and that would help them big.

I think Oregon had more yards against us then Bama. And that clearly means Oregon has a better argument then Bama because yards mean everything.

I wonder how many voters would still have Oregon #1 had they not played LSU...

The Oregon, Lsu game was not even close. LSU can win with Wing at QB.

Bama would destroy the Ducks, and Bama is the 2nd best team in the country IMO.

Whether Oregon likes it or not - it has one negative carryover from last year.

They lost to AU and then the very next game (albeit in another year) to LSU - the media ran with "Oregon- exposed, can't run with the SEC BIG BOYS".

Bama is an SEC heavyweight - so the default thinking in the daemon process would be that Bama is worthier because Oregon would only lay an egg against them too.

Oregon gave up three turnovers and was in the game till late, while Alabama got two turnovers and couldn't even score a touchdown. D'Anthony Thomas has had time to mature and learn how not to fumble. Oregon should play in NO before Bama.

What the hell do you think? Is the pac12 harder than SEC?

Enjoy your win and quit whining.

Not sure if better, but probably just as good. Their only loss is to the same team, and they both pretty much dominated the rest of their schedule (assuming of course they run the table).
An oregon win over Stanford will look better than any win that Bama has, right?
The more I think about it, if Stanford and OK St both lose, then it's either Oregon or Boise who gets the nod. But who knows. It's going to be a crazy ride. Love the BCS. I don't understand why there is so much hate for the system. It is flat out fun and drama filled every week of every season. No other sport has that.

Oregon had better STATS against us than Bama so by Bama rationale, Oregon is better

I'll leave their arguement to them- but they simply aren't as good a team as Alabama.
