I repeat: The ACC blows

[droski]

I still have no idea what to think of Cal this year, you guys have beat UC-Davis and one of the worst BCS conference teams. Jury is still out.

The USC game is late enough in the year that this might finally be the year the Ducks get over on the Trojans in Los Angeles.

I see @ Cal and @ OSU as the Ducks most likely losses this season.

cal doesn't have to be elite to beat oregon like a drum at home. we've proven that many times.

 

[droski]

I lied. There's a single player in the ENTIRE PAC-10 projected to go in the first round, and you're right, he plays for UCLA.

Cal is on the same level as WVU, perhaps below.

Florida would throttle Oregon for the same reason Tennessee was in the first half. Because they're bigger, stronger, faster, and more athletic on the offensive and defensive lines. The difference being Florida has the depth and talent to sustain that level of play for 4 quarters. Furthermore, Florida is faster, and more athletic. In fact, other than QB(Roughly the same), RB(LaMichael James > Jeff Demps, but Demps is faster), and kicker, Florida is better than Oregon at every single position.

Oregon won the Pac-10 last season, and with USC out of the picture they'll win it again. Nobody in the Pac-10 is even on their radar.

locker and luck are projected to be top-10 draft picks. not sure where you are getting your information.

no chance in hell marshall would take cal to overtime.

only reason oregon didnt' run you out of the building in the first place is nerves. if that game was on a neutral field they might have scored 70.

no one expected oregon to win the pac-10 at this time last year. hell they looked horrible

I'd guess that has a lot to do with Miami.

Partially. The Canes are 3-1 while in the conference; WVU is 2-0 and UofL is 1-0. That accounts for all the w's in their 6-6 record book.

There's no guarantee Luck is coming out after this season, hence, he wasn't used. I forgot about Locker though, so two. Two players in the entire Pac-10.

How do you know? You haven't played anybody.

Why do you keep saying you? I'm not a Vol fan. :huh:

Anyhow, it had nothing to do with "nerves" and everything to do with being man handled on the offensive and defensive lines.

Oregon's the best coached team in the Pac. I very much doubt any of the other scrubs are going to make much of a splash.

Dude, where are you getting your information? Jake Locker and Andrew Luck are projected as #1 and #2 overall and there are more after that.

Cal is at least clearly better than WVU, and likely better than the whole Big East. That conference is beyond pitiful this year. Their two time champs got hammered by Fresno.

And nobody on Oregon's radar? Last I checked, half of the conference is AP Top 25 right now. I'll eat my hat if the Ducks win every game this year.

 

[droski]

oregon is the best coached team in the pac-10? now you've really lost it. and i'll bet you any amount of money you want the pac-10 will have more than 3 players drafted in the first two rounds.

Sounds like the same type of banter I hear annually from SEC honks who watch maybe two Pac-10 conference games a year at most.

2011 NFL Mock Draft has Ryan Mallet, A.J. Green at top - Andrew Perloff - SI.com


I'm not going to sit here and claim Cal is definitively better than WVU, when both have had similar successes over the years.


And so was half the ACC prior to Saturday.

That guy is a total retard. He's probably too busy getting fed apple sauce by his sister to remember that there is in fact more land beyond the rockies, let alone that people play football there.

I watch Pac-10 games more than every conference outside the SEC. I have every Oregon game of the past couple seasons stored on my comp, and have the fox sports package dedicated to the west coast. I'm simply not impressed. It's very hard call them a great or even good conference when they allowed a single team to win the title 7 seasons in a row.

Pretty much the same thing here. Two Pac-10 players going in the first.

ESPN was the most generous with 4 Pac-10 players in the first.

Cal has done nothing. Assuming they're a better team than UGA, LSU, and Auburn is laughable.

Arizona... are you being serious? They're in the same boat as Cal, except worse.

Washington sucks and is horribly overrated. Already dropped a head to head game against LSU, and they lost to BYU. a BYU team that just got thrashed by Navy.

Oregon State already dropped a game to TCU. Ryan Katz is young and erratic, and Quizz Rodgers would get utterly throttled by either LSU, UGA, or Auburn. He was pretty much nullified against OSU.

Stanford... based on what? They've never been good, aren't good now, and never will be.

USC limped into a 17-14 win against Virginia, the worst team in the ACC. Enough said.

Arizona might surprise some people this year.
Stanford was pretty good last year and Andrew Luck is a serious NFL prospect.
Oregon St. is respectable also, and they have manned up to play Boise/TCU something other teams won't do.
USC is down.
Washington probably sucks.
Cal is a question mark also.
