Oregon plays clean and sharp. Even though the opponents aren’t the best they look impressive

Is that what our excuse can be when we lose to Missouri at their field? Two emotional games at Georgia and against Vandy, while Missouri was on a buy week.

We have talent..just a terrible head coach so we are very unpredictable. ..we can be terrible like vs Miami or look good like verse Texas(not amazing but good).

Indiana will be a big test.


Indiana's qb started at Cal last season.

Cal.

Next season he'll be an accountant in his hometown.

Indiana hasn't played anyone either.

This isn’t a dig at the SEC, but the Big10 like the Pac12 has academic requirements that OU wouldn’t meet.


So Ucla is smarter and better at football than PennSt??

Good quarterbacks come from all over

Aaron Rodgers played at Cal too.

None from Mizzou.

And, I can't believe I'm having to say this but, Fernando Mendoza is NOT Aaron Rodgers.

Rodgers also had Marshawn Lynch.

Ok. Why is Oregon AND OSU getting a pass?


Because they are undefeated, each have at least one decent win, and on paper they are uber talented teams.

Spazzing out about rankings in week 7 is weird.

… the conference has academic standards that OU would not be able to meet. It has nothing to do with football.

I have to admit it was a little embarrassing your 9th place team beating 2 of our teams and then the playoff.

The reigning national champion QB (Will Howard) played most of his career at K-State. Then he transferred to a B1G team and won it all

Fernando Mendoza is similar (except I doubt Indiana wins it all)

Repeat what you said and try not to laugh, the "Indiana will be a test" part.

Florida is not even bad, dude. Average at worst. UCLA is terrible, and Penn State's coach is terrible. Allar might even be a decent QB if Franklin actually allowed him to throw the ball downfield more. WRs go to die at Penn State under Franklin.

The entire Big 10 gets a pass. SEC needs to nut up and push the chips in on more favorable playoff considerations (more teams guaranteed) otherwise you give Oregon and OSU and a round robin on BIG teams a free pass each and every year, plus Notre Dame.

Honestly to balance it out Texas and OU probably should have joined the BIG (this isn't Texas hubris its to make the conference more balanced).


The real answer to the problem should've been keeping both Texas and Oklahoma in the Big 12.

And Josh Allen played at....Wyoming
Phil Sims at...Morehead State
Roger Staubach at....Navy
Dan Marino at...Pitt
Johnny Unitas at...Louisville

But arguably the 5 biggest NFL busts at QB are:

Ryan Leaf played at...Washington State
JaMarcus Russell at...LSU
Art Schlicter at...Ohio State
Todd Marinovich at...USC
Heath Shuler at...Tennessee
