This is the first time that I believe another conference can beat the SEC

Since the Auburn championship a few years back. I had a funny feeling that Oregon would give Auburn all it could handle. Don't get me wrong...I eventually accepted Auburn's Championship as a legit Championship even though it was not a team victory, but an individual victory.

I have a funny feeling that Oregon could test Bama to the limit if not outright beat them in the NCG this year.

Am I in the minority or are there other SEC fans that have the same feelings as me?

Oregon is one of the few teams aggressive enough to push them and possibly win it, they have a moderate chance but I'd say it is still UA's to lose.

Did you also have a funny feeling that LSU would beat Alabama?

Oh shite, now I hope we don't make it so we don't lose in the championship game.

The problem with Oregon is they have no defense whatsoever. Their game is to get in a shootout and just outscore the opponent. Occasionally they'll get a team that can hang on offense, like USC last weekend, and they ended up just outscoring them.

If they played bama, not only would bama score fairly easily, but oregon's offense wouldn't score 60 like they can in the pac 12.

to beat bama it'll take more of a traditional team with loads of talent, like LSU. LSU just didn't do it. I guess the only team up there like that would be KSU, but KSU isn't as talented as LSU, although they do seem to be better coached.

Translation :

We just lost to Bama, now I want them to lose, and I don't like Auburn, either.

Yes. Their defense is much improved from years past and their offense is even better. I'd take Oregon to win straight up.

Anything is possible in CFB but I like my odds with Saban and a month to prepare for Oregon.

I think this year's Oregon team is the best that they have had in a long time.

If Bama gets out of the SEC undefeated. They will win the BCSCG.

The aTm game this week will be the toughest game left on UA's path to the crystal simply because of how tough the game vs LSU was and how emotionally and physically drained they will be this Saturday.

Also, aTm is a good team, that had gotten better each week, with a very talented young QB. Fortunately, he is inexperienced and should have his hands full trying to read Bama's defensive formations.

But, I agree that Oregon, K St, and Notre Dame are better than Ok St, Texas '09, and other SEC opponents in past BCSCG.

People seem to look at the points scored by Oregon and not notice how many they gave up.

Personally, I think ND is going to be a tough out. They always seem to find a way to win, it ain't pretty, but they get the job done. The USC/ND and the Oregon/Oregon St games will be very interesting. Plus the PACCG.

K St should win out their remaining regular season games unless their QB is hurt and can't play to 100%.

Excuse the rambling nature of this post.

I don't think so; Oregon's defense sucks. Depending on shootouts are not the way to win championships when facing the best SEC defenses. Case in point was USC scoring 51 points on Oregon. In sharp contrast when USC played Stanford who has a decent defense, they only scored 14. Actually, I think Kansas St. would have a better chance of beating Bama due to their better balance between offense and defense.
