re: Better win: Oregon or Texas?

Oregon and Texas offenses are even. Oregon has a better defense.

I do believe Oregon would beat Texas.

You can call me a homer, but I disagree. I think Texas is gathering talent and will be a better team this year, and better down the road.

And more importantly, LSU won at Texas, while Auburn beat Oregon IN Texas. True road games make a huge difference vs neutral field games. Auburn might beat Oregon fairly comfortably in Auburn, and lose outright at Oregon. LSU wins the Texas game in, say, Atlanta by at least a TD more, and might blow them out in Tiger Stadium.
Texas and Oregon are both "worthy opponents", but the LSU win was bigger.
