Ducks just have to do their jobs and win out. Keep playing with the same intensity and focus. They do that, everything else will take care of itself!

What a serendipitous weekend for Puddles!

UGA beats up and beats down #1 Tennessee. UW (J Smith, kick a FG?) defeats OSU to go 7-2, likely setting up a top 25 matchup in Eugene on Saturday? BYU wins. Clemson is blown out by a team Stanford defeated. Brian Kelly rolls the dice and rolls the Tide. Texas looks solid enough to defeat TCU next Saturday in Austin.

Utah wins = a top 25 opponent for Oregon. UCLA and USC both win. Oregon makes it to Las Vegas and the Ducks will play a top 25 opponent in the Pac-12 Champ Game.

So, if Oregon is a 12-1 Pac-12 champ will the Ducks trump an 11-1 Michigan that played 3 donut holes OOC, an 11-1 Ohio State with a weak SOS, an 11-1 Tennessee with no team of note left on the Vols schedule, a 12-1 ACC Champ, a 12-1 B12 champ, a possible 2L SEC champ?

Of course the most important thing is to go 4-0 and TCB. UW, Utah, Oregon State and UCLA/USC is not chopped liver.

Hats off to Dan Lanning and crew and hats off to Kirby Smart, the coach of the 'new Alabama.'

If you don't think strength of roster matters you did not watch UGA beat up Tennessee.

Thanks John + Go Ducks!

The most impressive win of the 22 season is Georgia's win vs the Duck's

2 loss Bama, and a proven bad Clemson team has to fall below the Ducks, that leaves only 5 with 3 weeks plus ch. week to go. All is possible

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Three very capable teams still ahead.

Georgia win over Tennessee much more impressive to the voters than Ducks beating a very weak team.

As a Beaver fan, I’d like nothing more than to have the Ducks come into Reser believing they are on their way to the national championship, only to get knocked out by the Beavs. That would be epic. Maybe I’ll even root for them to go undefeated until that day...

Oregon’s ripe for an over-confident picking. The Monsters from Montlake are coming to Eugene.

Time to rock

GO DAWGS

At the beginning of the season , if someone would have told you that The Ducks were going to be in the Rose Bowl, who here wouldn't have been happy. Now it feels like the Rose Bowl isn't good enough. I guess it is like the guy who gets set up on a blind date and it turns out to be Heidi Klum.. And the guy complains about his date.

Jon: Since you are throwing out numbers here are some you forgot:

Record of conference teams Oregon has beaten: 11-26 Throw out Oregons loss to Georgia and win against UCLA and it gets worse. Eastern Washington 2-7 and BYU 5-5

Lots of teams across the country would like to play the teams Oregon has beaten.

Usually Boise State is a quality win. Not this year.

Loving how this team is playing. They truly seem to get better every week and haven't had any letdown types of performances. Huskies and Utes at home then the CIVIL WAR in Corvallis. I think the Beavs are the toughest remaining game. Not because I think they are necessarily better than Washington, and I certainly don't believe they are better than Utah and probably not even very close. But they play well at home and its a rivalry game. That is the Beavers' Super Bowl every season and if the Ducks are 10-1 you just know the Beavers would love nothing more than to crush their playoff hopes. Gonna be a fun final month watching this team! The next two in Autzen I think Oregon wins highly entertaining games with lots of offense. Going Ducks 48, Huskies 31 this weekend.

Please vote blue tomorrow Also, make sure that the Ducks beat U dub on Saturday in Eugene. Husky Free Northwest is best for all of us native Oregonians! There hopefully is to be a blue typhoon tomorrow, and never a purple rein In Eugene, Or. for just another 20 or so seasons. GO DUCKS, and purple is not welcomed here. Keep it in Seattle to join the Supersonics or Kracken. or Mariners.. You say the Sonics left? Are you sure? Starbucks oner claims he never sold them and he has proof that trump only lost because of alien abduction in Venezuela; second cousin of three - time removred-red-headed step child.. To all you morons that still claim last election is a fraud: Sorry but proof is needed. It is in the pudding you lost from your lunch pail on trip to allegedly vote. Get your head out and get at least one covid shot. I only got five Pfizer ones, and only came close to death three times. Dump trump 2024 or deport him and his fraudulent tribe to outer Slovakia where Melania claims she has a college degree from.

Nix has been great but some of th other QB's you mentioned were playing against much tougher competition. Young playing LSU on the road totally different that beating a poor CU. Hooker beating Bama is quite the accomplishment. When Nix played Georgia he was a nothing burger. He is a great QB, but let's keep some perspective when talking Heisman. Kalib Williams has elevated USC to a contender that without him might be a 5 win team. He has no defense and an undersized O line His contribution is Heisman worthy. Next few weeks will tell the story. PS: Thanks for Travis Dye, the dude is amazing. Now you know how USC fans feel when LA dudes play for the "Phil Knights"....er. the Ducks.
