The OREGON TOUCHDOWNZ crowd doesn't like it, but they also like WVU.

If ND goes undefeated they will have deserved to go to the title game.

They would give Bama a good game as well.

As a side note: I hate ND.

This...ND is legit...**** the haters...they have a very solid defense

and Braxton Milller is overrrated clap clap clap clap clap

LSU's defense is not better than Bama's.

DcmRulz · 10-28-2012, 12:43 AM

Meanwhile, Washington upset Oregon State, pretty much knocking them out of the top 10, any serious Pac-12 and crippling Oregon's SOS even more.

Babylon · 10-28-2012, 01:26 AM

I suppose there will be this ground swell to get ND to a BCS title game but anyone that thinks they're in the same class as Oregon is dreaming.

My biggest hope is that Bama and KSU lose so ND can take it to Oregon.

I would love to see ND vs Oregon. I thought Oklahoma was going to trample ND tonight but ND was able to limit the Sooners scoring. I actually think Oregon vs ND would be a compelling matchup.

As Oregon goes through its season its more obvious the offense is predicated on the run. I believe ND can effectively neutralize the run.

Say what you want about Notre Dame but after the game vs Oklahoma the least you can say is their defense is legit.

Smooth Criminal · 10-28-2012, 07:25 AM

I think ND will have earned a NC spot if they all go undefeated. They'll clearly have played a tougher schedule than Oregon and Kansas State. Not to mention the support Notre Dame will have across the country, but that doesn't contribute to them deserving anything.

Oregon really could have used a halfway decent out of conference game on their schedule.

General Zod · 10-28-2012, 08:24 AM

I cant really get into to much depth about last nights game, because im incredibly hung over right now. So in short, I'll just say that this team is legit. Haters can keep hating. And if Golson plays smart football like he did last night, this team can hang with anyone in the country.

And now for my Manti-Man love moment....

I cant remember the last LB in college that plays as fast as Teo does. I cannot wait to see this guy in the pros. He is going to make some team very happy.

K-State dropped out of playing them. They couldn't get a replacement for that.

I think their resumes will be pretty similar by the end of the season. Assuming ND and Oregon go undefeated the Irish will have quality wins against Michigan, Stanford, USC and Oklahoma. Oregon's quality wins would be Stanford, USC (twice) and Oregon st. Oregon would also have wins against two bowl teams in Washinton and Arizona (again most likely).

I'm not trying to imply that ND hasn't had a good year but the way Oregon is dispatching people to me is more impressive. I think it'll all play out.

i honestly think people would look hard at how the both teams wouldve looked against usc if it were to come down to that

And Stanford. A lot of stuff left to be determined for sure.

dabears10 · 10-28-2012, 11:39 AM

It might come down to who has the best win. Is Notre Dame winning in Norman better than Oregon beating Oregon State on the road?

People forget we also went into East Lansing and beat Michigan State who were ranked 10th, had won their first two games and despite their record do have a top 5 defense.

I think so. Definitely. Might not have been if Oregon State was still undefeated too. Oregon needed one more big game, but most likely we won't have to have this debate anyway.

But I do think Oregon is better than Notre Dame, but that's not what matters.

Trogdor · 10-28-2012, 11:48 AM

If Oregon continues to average 50+ and are dominant against the remainder of the schedule it'll be a shame if they aren't playing for the NC.

It'll all work out but ND not playing a conference title game, same with Kansas St, will definitely hurt them both compared to Oregon. Again this is if Oregon continues to play dominantly.

Remaining NOTABLE schedules:

'Bama: LSU and SEC championship

KSU (predicted #2): None? - They are probaly double digit favorites over OSU/Texas/TCU

ND (predicted #3): USC

Oregon (predicted #4): USC, Oregon St, and Pac-12 championship

If Oregon wins out that's 3 quality wins to end the season. Hard to imagine the polls moving away from them at 2 and the computers would bump their ranking up as well compared to KSU and ND.

I still think something will happen to fix this. ND losing to USC, Bama, losing to LSU/Georgia, or Oregon losing to USC/OSU.

Or Oregon's signature wins could be beating USC (6-2) twice. Something tells me we could play this game all day. Their schedules look similar to me by the end of the season.

Smooth Criminal · 10-28-2012, 12:14 PM

I think they were leaving USC out cause Notre Dame will have that one too. The main different signature wins will be at Oregon State and At Oklahoma.

Smooth Criminal · 10-28-2012, 12:15 PM

Edit wrong thread.

USC will have 5 losses then. Is that still a signature win?

niel89 · 10-28-2012, 12:27 PM

Am I the only one who thinks that Alabama is the only really good team this year? ND, K state, & Oregon are all good but I don't think any of them beat Bama.

I also think that Oregon is a better team than ND. Oregon has been crushing people. ND has had a lot more close games. If they played then I see Oregon winning.

I can only hope that he can recover and still play football, but if not, I have no doubt he'll still be successful in life.

True all that, but what sucks is this isn't just one where a guy planted wrong or something "happened". This was done to him like Delmas does to guys, like someone did to Adrian Peterson, Willis McGahee, Jordan Shipley, etc.
Man-up and hit em in the waist or chest. Or how about wreap em up instead of a shoulder/head missile kill shot.

As for Lattimore and life.... I hear that too, but here's the thing, and it reminds me of Marcus DuPree too.... God created greatness in these guys, but it was their legs that were special. And the low hits into the knees ended those paths to greatness. Sucks. Saddens me.

Except for Allen, I guess don't name your RB "Marcus".

J-Mike88 · 10-28-2012, 01:54 PM

NATIONAL SEMIFINALS:

Alabama @ Oregon
Notre Dame @ Kansas State

What are the point spreads?

Well Spurrier came out today and said he dislocated his knee and that the injury was not expected to be career-ending, so there is still some hope for him.
