I think most people are too willing to hand UO the win over USC. That's gonna be a scary game for the ducks.

Not only that, oregon's going to have to try to not just win but absolutely stomp them...blow them the f--- out

Quite possibly 2003 OU- Texas A&M bad

Incorrect, just looked it up and it's record within the division. I've got ASU going 1-1 against Arizona and Cal at home (if they go 1-1 it won't matter which one they beat and I'll explain why in a second), UCLA beating Colorado at home and losing to USC on the road, and Utah beating Wazzu on the road and Colorado at home.

If that pans out, that would put ASU at 4-1 against the Pac-12 south, Utah at 3-2 and UCLA at 2-3, in which case ASU gets in. If ASU beats Cal and loses to Arizona, that would make them and Utah tied at 3-2 against the division, but ASU beat Utah.

So, ASU controls their destiny the most of the three.

Ah, yeah. I think it defaults to BCS ranking after that tie breaker.

They will have to beat them by more than forty points...seriously. Just squeaking by an unranked USC isn't enough.

Truth be told. There just won't be a real NCG this year. OkState would have been a good opponent , but they picked the wrong day to have a bad game.

Right. Nothing says "good opponent" quite like losing to Iowa State. :blink:

ASU is freaking awful. If they're in the PAC-12 championship game that should be all that is necessary to conclude that the PAC-12 is a joke of a conference.

USC has actually turned into quite a solid team over the last couple weeks, but they can't play for the title.

The SEC West, on the other hand, has 3 teams that would all put a beatdown on EVERY PAC-12 team.

Really? Granted about LSU and Bama, but you think Arkansas could stop let alone smack around UofO or Stanford? I hate the Ducks and openly admit they would run circles around the pigs. Their pass D is pretty mediocre and Luck would shred them with healthy receivers. They would have to score 50+ to hang with either.

#18 USC, if you're going to look at the only poll in which they are eligible to be ranked.

Unfortunately you need them ranked for the win to mean terribly much outside of a massive blowout....they're not even factored (let alone ranked) in the computer rankings

OSU is a damn good team when they're on their game. I dunno what they were smoking on before the game tonight, but it happens every year to somebody. That loss by Florida that made Tebow deliver a state of the union address was as bad.

The scoring difference between Bama and Oregon is 0.0344, which in my opinion, is a small but comfortable margin. I just don't see how 1 more lackluster win in Pac-12 championship game would propel Oregon over Bama. Oregon has little chance to catch Bama in the computer rankings, but maybe slaughtering rest 3 opponents would help in the human polls. As it stands now, I would give Oregon 20% chance to jump Bama if both win out.

....I was answering by giving an example of a good NC game that wasn't a defensive struggle but wasnt clouds of dust either...
