      I missed the game, Oregon/BSU played this year? I would have thought that would have generated some national discussion.

        It was a weird thing for him to say. I think people post too many half-baked thoughts on Twitter.

            Zing. I'm pwned. Brought up short. And so forth.

              Oregon looks very good this year. It could be an Oregon-Bama title game this year.

                I am surprised they are out. One blow out and one close lose to a top 10 team. I am pretty sure Ohio State has stayed in with similar stunts.

                  I could see Oregon winning a week Pac-10 this year but they do need to find some defense.

                    The Pac looks stronger than the Big 10 and the SEC except maybe Alabama but Oregon and Alabama are comparable.

                      Notre Dame
                      Iowa
                      This makes no sense, have you even watched a game yet this year?

                      Tennessee is not good, Notre Dame is not good, Texas is obviously not good, and Iowa is always overrated.

                      The Big 10 has five top 25 teams.
                      The SEC has 6
                      The Pac-10 has 3.

                      It is still early I think a few of these teams are very overrated. In fact I put Arizona at number 9 as maybe the most overrated team in the country right now. I also think LSU is highly overrated as are both Michigan and Michigan State.

                      Lot of football left to be played but as of right now it looks like the Pac-10 is a one horse race with Oregon dominating the clear cut number 2 team.

                        The MWC has 3 teams in the top 25 and 2 in the top 10.

                          Well we know the MWC is better than the Pac-10 they have proven that on the field the past few years.

                            Oregon pounded Tennessee which had LSU beat. UCLA slaughtered Texas which made it respectable against Oklahoma. Stanford killed Notre Dame, which may be the best team in the country with a losing record, and lost heartbreakers to Michigan and Michigan State. Iowa was top 10 and got beat up by Arizona. None of those Big 10 teams except maybe Ohio State have impressed me much. Same with the SEC outside Alabama.

                              It is good to know that BYU would totally own USC.

                                Your defense just needs to slow the other team down and get some breaks when you have an offense that scores an average of 56+ points per game. I can't wait until the Ducks smack the crap out of USC.
