Was just listening to a few minutes of Colin Cowherd. Most times, he's a blowhard but mildly entertaining. Funny to hear him put Oregon (TJSF) in perspective. Basically saying the world finally accepts them for what they are and should never buy into the hype again.
But every year, ESPN does.
And they will again next year.
Without Oregon, the Pac 12 isn't even in the conversation for the BCS championship game. Oregon knows how to score a lot of points against inferior teams, which put them in the argument. The Pac 12 right now is no different than the Big 10, and even ESPN has written off Ohio State as being a real contender.
The following conferences feature a bunch of shitty teams with one or two good ones that appear dominant:
Pac 12
Big 10
Big 12
ACC
The SEC has 7 or 8 teams that could compete for the conference title in each of those conferences. Georgia even with their injuries has more quality athletes and better facilities and higher expectations than the majority of the teams in those conference. Florida even with their injuries and ineptitude on offense would still beat the majority of those teams. Auburn would BE Oregon in the Pac 12 if we were in that conference. South Carolina, LSU, and Texas A&M could all go 8-0 in those conferences except the ACC because of Florida State and Clemson. Fuck Alabama.
SEC fans know it, but the rest of college football doesn't realize it yet. ESPN has to keep the veil on or the sport will take a hit. If Oregon fans and Pac 12 followers really understood that their best will never beat our best, they would quit giving so much support.
