Cujo Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Oregon stud RB Kenjon Barner goes off the field with a hand/wrist injury. Ducks fans can only hope the x-rays come back negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rams80 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 But really, it'd be interesting to see Oregon and Notre Dame play for the championship IMO.A 55-7 woodshed beating interests you? It would not be 55-7. I would guess it would be around 28-17 Ducks.I agree. If Notre Dame beats USC, then I really want a Oregon-Notre Dame final. Manti Teo vs. Kenjon Barner would be interesting and it wouldn't be a blowout. I agree that Oregon would probably win, but Notre Dame has really good run defense. Anyway, to get to that position, Notre Dame will have to convincingly beat USC. KSU can play Texas A&M, the most exciting team in CFB, and Johnny Manziel in the Fiesta Bowl. Now that would also be a great game. While I'm at it, here are my other ideal bowl Matchups.No.Kansas State gets in over the Irish. You want good? Look at what the Wildcats are doing in the Big 12, look at their defense (if you're pimping Notre Dame for that) and you want stories or meta-narratives for lazy sportswriting? How about "Bill Snyder finally can win the championship he rightly and truly deserves because Jesus Christ y'all, look at where Kansas State was historically and where it has been under his watch. Snyder is probably one of the 5 best coaches in college football over the last 30 years based on that evaluation, and he can potentially cap off his career on top. That's just as good as "AWAKEN THE ECHOES" and "Everyone who knows and loves Manti Te'o is doomed to die in short order and we should feel sorry for him" On 8/1/2010 at 4:01 PM, winters in buffalo said: You manage to balance agitation with just enough salient points to keep things interesting.

Cujo Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 If it does come down to Kansas State vs. Notre Dame, the edge HAS to go to the Wildcats. Why? BCS Conference school > Independent "Whatever. I do what I want" school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rams80 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 So it looks like Tedford is having Cal go all kamikaze on Oregon tonight.

thespleenenator Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Despite how we performed tonight, I still think that we need Dion Jordan back in order to beat Stanford. Cal's offense is terrible, so of course we only held them to 17 points. Even then, we let them run all over us in the first half. We're basically playing our second string offense out there with all the injuries. Oregon can't do that if they want to win a National Championship. Why you make fun of me? I make concept for Auburn champions and you make fun of me. I cry tears.Chopping off the dicks of Filipino boys and embracing causes that promote bigotry =/= strong moral character.

hailstateunis Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 It's their coaches. Ellis Johnson wasn't prepared for a head coaching job. One of the corridinators was a head coach at a local high school previously. Seeing as how Johnson won't have a job after this season, I wouldn't mind Mississippi State getting him back as d-corridinator. http://www.hailstateunis.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cola Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Bama's loss almost seals the deal for a KSU-Oregon or ND Championship. All ND, Oregon, and KSU have to do is win the remaining games because mostly a undefeated Oregon, KSU, and ND > 1 loss Alabama. I'm not insulting Alabama, but it is incredibly likely that Bama won't make it to the National Championship this year.Crazy concept I know, but this is all these teams had to do in the past to get there...contrary to the SEC conspiracy theories. Instead, those teams found a way to drop the ball.Just for you conspiracy theorists out there, do you realize the possibility for an all-SEC national championship game is still there and somewhat likely? If K State loses to Texas, Oregon drops one to either Oregon State/Stanford, and Notre Dame likely blows a load to Southern Cal...the "earliest loser" advantage will come into play for Alabama and they will be sitting at #1 again.Who would be #2 at that point? Essentially, we would have the opposite of what happened last year- Florida would sneak into the title game as the #2 due to not playing in the SECCG. Again, this is assuming Bama would beat UGA in the SECCG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cola Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Also, in case you missed it- I think DJ Swearinger's personal foul, personal foul, TD/personal foul is worth a watch. Guy plays with a tenacity that the game deserves and that hit was a thing of beauty (totally a bull call). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, this is assuming Bama would beat UGA in the SECCG.Well, first of all, Florida has to win in Tallahassee against a very good Florida State team. Given that Florida was less than two minutes away from losing to LA-Lafayette (a team good enough to reach the bowls, yes, but not a team Florida should struggle that badly against in Gainesville), I'm not exactly expecting Florida to win that game, at this point in time. Obviously, I hope they do.Furthermore, in the interest of total fairness, I would really loathe seeing Florida get into the NCG through such means. I railed on Alabama getting in last year when they didn't even play in the SEC Championship, and I think it would be total BS if Florida were to do the same.

dfwabel Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 It's their coaches. Ellis Johnson wasn't prepared for a head coaching job.

Seeing as how Johnson won't have a job after this season, I wouldn't mind Mississippi State getting him back as d-corridinator.The high school part is not as bad as you think, since Art Briles went from Stephenville HS to his HC gig at Houston. The problem is that OC Steve Buckley is a USM alum (and Johnson's friend), was promoted in late May as Rickey Bustle had a health scare and they switched positions. Buckley was to be in charge of recruiting, but you cannot do that when you are the OC and looking at film all the time.Plus, the near majority of the coaching staff never worked at the FBS level and they hired a Strength Coach who has ties with Buckley and while possessing a PhD in Exercise Science, the guy was working in the real estate business for the last 20 years rather in football.
