Oregon. Baaa haaa haaa haaa.
Stanford is roughly Mississippi State quality. Would get run over by half the SEC.
Those two teams were jokes last night. Oregon is a fraud, always has been. Stanford is a slow Big10 team.
It was ridiculous watching that and hearing the announcers talking about how great those two are. Both really suck.
-
Stanford is fundamentally solid though. Not talented and not fast but they perform their assignments well for the most part. Oregon has a system. A system that works against equal inferior talent/size. But one that gets stopped cold against solid teams. Stanford is well coached.
But their coach is off his rocker if he thinks Stanford has the hardest schedule in country. Tennessee fans may have a beef with that. Most of the pundits are saying Stanford should be ahead of Baylor now in the rankings. Pfffffttttt. Baylor looked good against a very good Oklahoma D last night.
At least now we may get to see FSU light up Bama with Oregon gone. May not happen but we do know if Oregon had played Bama it would have been notre dame all over again.

Stanford's O-line is not just Mississippi State quality. Neither is their coaching.

I agree. Although I question the Utah loss, this offense looked fairly solid. They would be in the 3 or 4 teams of the SEC this year in my mind. Regardless, I think that coach could win at the right school in our conference and it wouldn't surprise me if he isn't sought after by UGA or UF in a few yrs.

You had me until here. You must not have watched the first half and only looked at the score. I thought Baylor looked horrible in the first half...and only broke it open because Oklahoma sucks donkey dick...
-
Either Baylor's defense is better than they get credik for or Oklahoma's offense resembles the 2012 version of the Loeffler cat.

The latter. OU is barely a notch above average.

I can't believe that I let seeing how every one of you posers on here picking O save one or two numbnutts-- sway my decision to change from Stanford to Oregon. Asswipers.

As pointed out on the ESPN after show, Stanford had midterms that week. I have a feeling their tests in Biomechanical genetical law was a bit more involved that the criminology quiz most football players have to get a 60 on.

Well, I never had any trouble noneever with any genetical law classes.

Comparing Stanford to Mississippi State is just dumb.
Oregon - I'm glad they are gone now. Tired of hearing about the fast as hell Ducks. Good riddance.
Now if only LSU could do us all a favor and sink the Tahd ship.

Utah: 27.
Stanford: 21.
All I need to know to tell me they should be behind Auburn. Yes, so far, the Oregon win is technically better than any Auburn win, although I would debate A&M being > Oregon at this point. But LSU is not Utah. A national title contender does not drop games to Utah.
Here is how the Chizad Institute's BCS Computer Poll Rankings would look today. Of course, I'm doing this in the middle of the week before many of these teams play, but after four of them already have, so obviously, that's not how polls work.
1. FSU
2. Bama
3. Baylor
4. Ohio State
5. Clemson (Begrudgingly)
6. Missouri
7. Auburn
8. Stanford
9. Oregon
10. Flip a coin between Miami, South Carolina, LSU, and A&M.
FSU is above Bama right now because to this point, their schedule and results have been more impressive. Who does Bama have to hang their hat on so far besides A&M? We've beaten them too. I'm not saying this to say that we're on equal footing with Bama, but to say that FSU has played a more impressive schedule to date and has been just as dominant. Should Bama beat LSU this weekend? They'd have a chance to possibly jump FSU. Should they, God forbid, win the Iron Bowl, they would solidify the top spot. Not until then, or at least this weekend.
Ohio State hasn't played a damn soul. But they haven't lost in two years, and that's got to count for something from a BCS school in this flawed system.
The three tigers are essentiall in a three-way tie, but I'm giving the benefit of the doubt to Clemson for starting higher (which only makes sense in a tie-breaking scenario), then Missouri for destroying Georgia and having their only loss be in OT to a pretty good South Carolina. And also to not be too much of a homer.

Sadly, you can't convince Oregon fans of that. FSU would go apeshit on Oregon as well. I honestly believe that a vast majority of my own fanbase is retarded, but I think the Oregon fanbase is right up there with them. And they have no reason for it, either. Oregon scores a fuckton of points on crappy Pac-12 teams that would lose to 3/4 of the SEC, and they typically lose or really struggle with any team that is decent.
-

OU has a good D. But yes overall they are sketchy. Took Baylor a little while to get it clicking. They looked a little tight coming out. Nonetheless it was a blowout over a top 10 team. Many thought Baylor did not have the nuts to pull it off.

Oregon - I'm glad they are gone now. Tired of hearing about the fast as hell Ducks. Good riddance.
Now if only LSU could do us all a favor and sink the Tahd ship.
I'd just as soon LSU lose and the Tide lose to us. If they are gonna lose a game, let it be to us. If I thought that Alabama could get into the national championship game with one loss I would be pulling for LSU hard, but as it is I think Florida State, Stanford, Ohio State, and maybe Baylor would get in ahead of one loss Bama so I want them to look back and say it was Auburn and Auburn alone that kept them out of the championship game.
-
A national title contender does not drop games to Utah.
They don't drop games to Iowa State either, but nobody could convince you (and others) of that last year.

No bullshit, the Iron Bowl worries me more than LSU does. I think that today's Auburn team beats LSU.

They also haven't already lost to the team that is guaranteed being in the game, when other one loss teams had yet to prove on the field that they would lose to them.

Mississippi State's quarterback has a better arm and is more elusive than Stanford's.
State's offensive line is at least equal to Stanford's.
State's defensive line is better than Stanford's.
That mohawked white linebacker for Stanford? In the SEC, he's Jake Holland.
State could score on them.
State and Stanford would be a good game. Old fashioned. Not sure I wouldn't pick State.

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.
-
To expand a bit on that -
The following teams from each conference have zero shot and will never have a shot at competing for the national title:
Pac 12:
Washington
Washington State
Arizona
Arizona State
Oregon State
California
Colorado
UCLA (unless USC dies in a fire)
Big 10:
Indiana
Illinois
Michigan State
Wisconsin
Penn State
Iowa
Minnesota
Northwestern
Purdue
Big 12:
Iowa State
Texas Tech
Kansas
Kansas State
TCU
West Virginia
ACC:
North Carolina
North Carolina State
Duke
Boston College
Maryland
Pittsburgh
Syracuse
Virginia
Wake Forest
Virginia Tech
SEC:
Vanderbilt
Mississippi State
Ole Miss
Missouri
I'd also argue that Clemson, Oregon, Stanford, nor Oklahoma State could produce a team that is good enough to beat the SEC's best team though those programs do see to put together teams that are very good and have separated themselves from their shitty conferences. I'd put Nebraska on the list of "can't win a title anymore" but their success in the 90s still carries over.

So does everybody outside turd town.

Forgot about Kentucky. I'm not sold on Missouri being a championship caliber program just because they have a good team this year that caught an injury plagued Georgia team and an inept Florida team.
I really should add A&M cause withoit Manziel, they can't do much.

Not willing to say anybody "can't win a title anymore". Judging by the '70's Auburn never should have been relevant again. Plus you still have a few teams up there that did win titles in the '90's. Most notably to me Washington and Colorado.

This isn't the 70s or the 90s.
Maybe Washington could sneak into the playoff if enough teams lose, but I still guarantee the best SEC team that year would beat Washington's best team if they're playing for a trophy.

All have to understand that some select teams ie Utah, Oregon, and the Arizona teams are a bitch to beat in their own place but somewhat ordinary otherwise. Oregon can beat an unprepared Tennessee's fucking brains out and 9 out of 10 teams on any given Saturday if they get a jump with some gifts. Stanford is good but no better than a Notre Dame exposed with lack of team speed, but good nonetheless. Baylor is of a similar make-up as Oregon the way Clemson copied Auburn. The football world is just now finding out what Baylor is. And seriously, Oklahoma is one good quarter from being Ole Miss. Sure they play some defense but so does Florida. And how's that working out?
