re: What SEC teams are improving enough to take out the mighty ducks

If bamafatigue is a 16 year old kid then someone needs to spank his arse and wash his mouth-out with soap.

fricking left coasters do not know how to raise their children. Spare the rod, spoil the child, obviously and especially in this case.

I've noticed you keep propping up your national offensive and defensive rankings, and harping on Bamas schedule. Bama does play a pussy schedule but anyone who sought out and played Nichols state is more than a pussy...more like a gaping vagina. Hanging 70 or whatever on a glorified HS team then repping your stats tells me Oregon isn't there yet and still doesn't deserve national title holder type respect (or respect for the NW's style of politics).

17, my bad. A naive 17 at that

Oregon is just another "high-powered" west offense that would be held to 20 if they played a top SEC team.

One other thing....

Look at Bama - AM game...

AM hung 42. With basically 2 offensive weapons.

Oregon has a lot more weapons than that , and Oregon actually has a defense.

You scoffing at Stanford and UCLA while Bama plays garbage opposition for the rest of their schedule (LSU excluded) didn't merit a reply. The idiocy is plain enough.

---

We're not scoffing UCLA or Stanford - you guys haven't even PLAYED them yet.

You've played one decent team, that was beaten up by Stanford. You have plenty of chances to prove your worth that doesn't involve running up the score on East-West Poly Tech.

When they prove it on the field, against SEC elite, we will take them seriously.

Threads like this humor me. I hate Alabama more than is good for my health, but they are still the best team in the country, they're still undefeated, and LSU will not beat them this year. Nor will anyone most likely. If AU keeps getting better they've got a chance I guess, just because it's at home and the rivalry. But I'm not holding my breath.

So, I don't see Oregon doing anything to Bama an SEC team can't do. Until I see otherwise, unfortunately I'm chalking up another NATTY to the devil himself aka scum of the earth aka Nicky Saban. I'm gonna go die now

Oregon has SEC size, SEC speed, and experience. You guys are just too much SEC SEC SEC. The college football world has changed, the ACC and PAC12 elite can play, and if you want to walk around with your head up your *** that's fine. But your not being honest with yourself.

What are you talking about?

Oregon is fast, at least in terms of skill positions and overall offensive tempo. Nobody denies that. They certainly aren't evenly matched in size -- or, rather strength -- with the elite SEC teams. People talk about Stanford providing a measuring tape, but, while Stanford is certainly talented and tough, they don't have quite the level of personnel that teams like LSU and Bama have on the line. Oregon simply won't face a situation like that unless and until they meet one of these teams in a bowl game. It's all well and good to get moony-eyed over Oregon's pace and numbers, but it's not really rational to assume they can do the same thing against teams who have the players with size, speed, and coaching (that's an important one) for great gap control and getting to the second level. People talk about A&M racking up points on Bama, for instance, but A&M has a great offensive line (in distinction from its defensive one) and half the time, the still-green Bama defense was putting pressure on Manziel. Manziel is just the wriggliest little nightcrawler imaginable in his position. The rest of the team didn't even combine for the rushing yards Manziel put up. Do you honestly think that Oregon will fare any better in the trenches against Bama or LSU? Or even USCe? Oregon simply hasnt' -- and won't -- face the level of trench control that the major contenders in the SEC possess. Until they do, it's almost impossible to give them the complete respect they claim they deserve.

For all this talk of Oregon's offensive output, they remind me of certain OU teams of old. They score and score and keep scoring even when they don't need to because they feel it's expected of them. It's not fair, in theory, to judge them if they don't go video game mode, but I have no sympathy -- they chose this style. Major SEC teams tend to go into clock-eating mode once their lead is comfortable, but they're perfectly capable of putting up huge numbers if necessary. And, like certain OU teams of old, there will always be fans out there dazzled by the numbers and ignorant of the type of competition they've faced...and the fact that the opponent that finally beats them won't be beating them by playing the same style, they'll be beating them by using style and personnel that specifically counters them.
