Doubtful. The only reason I am saying that, is the opponents that they have defeated, are not helping their case, with having losing seasons, or losing to lesser opponents. KSU has beat more ranked opponents this year than any other Collegiate team (and are still in the rankings), and still face a couple more to come. If KSU goes undefeated, and Oregon wins out, with ND defeating USC, USC will become unranked and hurt Oregon even more. Best case for Oregon, is to have USC win out if they beat them on Saturday. Same goes for Oregon State and Stanford, which is almost doubtful it will happen.If Oregon goes undefeated they'll play in the championship regardless of how Notre Dame and KSU finish the season.
Probably true. The SOS of their remaining games will boost them in the computer rankings, which is where they lag. That also says they have the toughest road left, so probably the worst chance of staying unbeaten.If Oregon goes undefeated they'll play in the championship regardless of how Notre Dame and KSU finish the season.
Not so fast, my friend. KSU has a tougher schedule, and Notre Dame, well, they're Notre Dame. One thing I can guarantee is that if Oregon does go undefeated and gets snubbed from the National Championship game, they are gonna be PISSED. That won't make it any easier for us if we do end up playing against them.If Oregon goes undefeated they'll play in the championship regardless of how Notre Dame and KSU finish the season.
But after the half ... we come storming back???oregon, no thanks. we get throttled and look silly before half..
For that matter, Nebraska did it against Washington. Then again, we weren't really "snubbed" from anything, if my memory serves me correctly. Just didn't want to be there.On the other hand, we've seen it time and time again how a snubbed team completely flops in their bowl game. Bama did it against Utah. OU did it against Boise. It happens all the time. We might very well get an Oregon team who just lost interest in even playing the game.
