So is Oregon being crowned the best team in the nation because

A) SEC is down this year?

Or

B) They are really that legit? If so, how so more than the previous few years?

I don't see anything special than what I have seen the past few years and we all know how that goes...

they're crowned every year. they use their offense to destroy shitty teams on their shitty schedule. Kind of like what Bama is doing this year

It has a lot to do with many wanting anyone but the SEC to win the title. The media outside of the south is going to choose who they think has the best chance to knock off the SEC and pump them up

WA = 10th best defense in the nation coming into the game. Oregon defeated WA in Seattle. Oregon trounced Tennessee. Georgia barely beat them, Florida only beat them by 2 touchdowns. Legit? You do the math.

The SEC is not officially down on the rant until Bama beats LSU.

Anyone who knows anything about college football will tell you this Oregon team is more talented and deeper than previous teams. People that don't know college football will repeat the same shite they read from others, how Oregon is hyped every year and isn't any better.

Get it right.

They are really the best team in the nation.

They've never had this many great skill position players, and Mariota is the best quarterback they've ever had in their recent run. He's going to win the Heisman.

I'd argue right now that they are the best team in the nation, and it's not close. However, they aren't going to get much better. Give an
Alabama or an LSU 5 weeks of practice as sort of a "2nd spring" and it would end up being a very close game that could go either way. But as for now, I really don't understand how only five AP voters are giving them their #1 vote.

Oregon is much much faster in tempo than A&M.

I do think their running capability would be stymed by the Bama defense.

I would be concerned with their passing attack, though. If their o line can handle the d line, They could be dangerous.

I'm very very interested in how their improved defense would handle the Tide offense.

I wonder how many people in this thread have dismissed Oregon this year and also have not yet actually watched a game.
