TigerStar 0 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Oregon struggled to squeak out a victory at Cal. We didn't really play lights out against Georgia, but I would say Georgia is better than Cal. How do y'all see the BcS going tomorrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumps 3,705 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Just win out and we play on 1/10/11 in Glendale, AZ. That is all I am keeping up with! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven_tiger 5 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Ducks owe the win to that Cal kicker that missed essentially an extra pt after drawing a false start... Never seen that before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSVTIGER 5 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 As close as we are now to Oregon, I gotta believe that beating Bama would put us back at #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShocksMyBrain 9,389 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 TCU only beat SDSU by 5 as well. Just throwing that out there for everyone who was fluffing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickerman97 3 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 I think the margin between us and Oregon tightens up but the margin between us and TCU widens a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyehardau77 0 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 The combined record of Oregon's opponents is a joke. Their offense sruggled against a Cal team that I believe gave up over 50 to Nevada earlier. Look at Auburn's schedule and look at theirs and its no contest. But the earlier post was right, just keep winning and all will be taken care of. Its just a matter of whether we wear blue or white jerseys in Glendale.

TigerStar 0 Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 I think the margin between us and Oregon tightens up but the margin between us and TCU widens a bit. Well, the margin is only 0.003 so it wouldn't surprise me if we overtake them. I don't get how the human polls play into it and I know there are some folks here that get the polls in and out so I wondered how others see it going down. I think USCarolina beating UF helps our SOS and one of the reasons I was rooting against MSU tonight (as opposed to rooting 'for' bama) was I think it helps if bama is top ten when we beat them. Just some idle talk for the next 2 weeks. Does the off week help or hurt us in regards to the BcS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the margin between us and Oregon tightens up but the margin between us and TCU widens a bit. Plus their "big" victory over Utah last week was tarnished when 4-5 Notre Dame beat Utah this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banditmwp 713 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 FWIW, I see Auburn going forward as #2, because the human polls won't move them. The pollsters will see the Newton scandal as a reason not to vote AU as #1, but with Oregon's struggle this week I could be wrong. I agree with the above posts, though...win out and remove any doubt!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerGlide 1 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 I think the margin between us and Oregon tightens up but the margin between us and TCU widens a bit. Especially since Notre Dame beat Utah rather handily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgr4lfe 220 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Oregon scored one offensive TD and returned punt for TD. This with this high powered offense averaging over 50 points. I don't know what Cal did to slow them down, but they punted several times and missed a couple FGs. Wish i had watched to see what Cal did.

They've been getting way ahead and teams are forced to throw to try to get back in the game. Cal kept it close, ran the ball and the famed Oregon "speed up" offense didn't get a chance to make the Cal defense real tired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what Cal did to slow them down, but they punted several times and missed a couple FGs. Wish i had watched to see what Cal did. It was won in the trenches. Cal owned the offensive line and stopped James. Basically, Cal made them one dimensional. I've also read that they do not have a backup for James. Another thing to note, is that Oregon seems to score most of their points in the last part of games when the game is well at hand. They run the score up. At this point, if Oregon does not fix their issues, Auburn is going to kill this team if we play them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubiematt 0 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Another thing to note is that Oregon only seems to have like 4 plays. Their offense is actually really really simple. Most of their offense is smoke and mirrors (much like Kiffin's ha!). They get defenses out of position with their tempo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Sanders 123 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 I would not be surprised to see Auburn at #1 or just BARELY below Oregon at #2. I think we make the jump to #1 in the BCS though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, if Oregon does not fix their issues, Auburn is going to kill this team if we play them. I wouldn't say that, Barner is a pretty good backup to James. They're both in the Noel Devine category, small and very quick. But yes, Cal controlled the LOS with their D-line. They pressured Darron Thomas and penetrated to cause negative plays in the run game. The underlined statement is VERY VERY true. Chip Kelly runs the score up. I'm sure it killed him to take a knee at the end against Cal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Control UO's OL and you control their O. What little I watched of their game last night, Cal seemed to be in the backfield a lot. I am pretty sure we have a better DL than anybody in the Pac10. USC ran well on them also. I think we would beat them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
