Do you guys still have Evan Stewart?

He was out all year but might return as early as the SC game.

Dak Moore, Kenyon Sadiq and Gary Bryant are all out.

There’s no way we’re running an bunch of middle of the field routes right now. Especially with how Oregon is running the ball.

I’m basing most of my opinions on Oregon off the Indiana and Penn State game. I’m rewatching the game because I’m a sicko and Moore does not work the middle of the field. So far into the second quarter the one ball he threw in the middle was the busted coverage go route for a TD. I’ve yet to see him work the middle effectively against zone

Shocked

Doesn’t matter how good someone is if they aren’t available. At A&M I don’t think Stewart ever played half the games in a season

Ah. So you are of the opinion that you can gauge the strength of team by what they were once thought and not what the season says? I mean several years ago, Alabama played and beat a FSU team that had gone undefeated during the regular season the year before. It looked like a very impressive win at the time, until FSU finished with 6 losses.
Lesson? It's not how you start...it's how you finish. And Texas has two very tough opponents coming up.

I have no problem giving Oregon, Ohio State and Indiana their due. They all look good, to me. But on the one hand you were talking about Penn State being a good team because they lost a lot of close games. Never mind they only won 3 games and they were to really bad teams.

Texas A&M will probably lose.

Why can you say this and others shouldn't say that Ohio State, Oregon and Indiana will lose? A&M will probably be favored in every single game leading up to the playoffs, including the SECCG. Can they lose? Sure. Can Ohio State, Oregon and Indiana lose? Absolutely.

I watch every snap of Oregon football. And I listen to the voices that are critical of the team. Moore can put touch on the ball.

There’s a lot of reasons Moore attacks the edges instead of going over the middle.

One of the biggest issues is we have WRs running the wrong routes. If you’re not trusting your pass pro and your WR, it’s an int waiting to happen.

I never said Penn St is a good team. They’re built to keep games tight with that defense and run game. They just keep finding ways to lose.

You sure were arguing that they were not a bad team because in spite of their losses they kept games close. You were making an excuse for Indiana. There is no excuse for what Penn State did to Indiana. I mean, I get it. Some times a team takes a weaker team lightly and a game is much closer than it should be. But, Penn State is NOT a good team.

There is now wya they should have been able to sneak up on Indiana. That was just a coaching staff (Indiana) not preparing their team properly.

You mean like going for it on 4th and 3 when an easy FG would have made it impossible to lose in regulation? Yeah. They sure do find ways to lose. It's called stupid decisions. I get it. Georgia has done the same at times. We did it against Alabama earlier in the year and it came back to bite us.

no way you are in position to know that. Do you carry a call sheet around ?

Texas A&M has played 3 Power 4 teams with a winning record, Notre Dame, Mizzou and LSU, only 2 of which are bowl eligible.

Indiana has played 3 P4 teams with a winning record, Oregon, Iowa, Illinois, all 3 are bowl eligible, plus one more FBS bowl eligible team.

Ohio State has played 4 P4 teams with a winning record, Texas, Washington, Illinois, and Minnesota, all 4 are bowl eligible, plus one more FBS bowl eligible team. That's one metric the committee looks at where A&M is 3rd of the 3.

For all the griping about who have they played, OSU has only played 3 teams with a losing record and beat them all by at least 24 points.

A&M has played 4 teams with a losing record and only beat one of them by 3 points and another by 6 points.

Indiana has played 5 teams with a losing record and beat all of them but Penn State by at least 25 points. Indiana did only beat Penn State by 3 points, but PSU still has quality players, no matter what their other problems. Penn State has lost 5 games by 1, 1, 3, 5, and 6 points, only Ohio State dominated them by 24, PSU may be unlucky and snake bit, but they are not as bad as their record.

The committee looks at lots of metrics, they don't just cherry pick one or two and decide. They have the order right. I'm sure this won't be a popular post but all the facts are true.
