    Star ratings of players in Natl Cship

    Totally agree and not a shocker by any means. I think there are a lot of teams where 1 or 2 guys were the difference makers. Oregon in 2007 is a really good example. #2 in the nation. Front runner for the Heisman. Cruising towards a national title. Back to back victories over Top 10 teams...

    Jim Harbaugh...

    You could argue him going back to his alma mater (if that is what he ends up doing, who knows) is a form of loyalty in and of itself. Though I see your point. I for one, as a Duck fan, hope he leaves. I don't want to have to play Harbaugh coached Stanford teams. He's still the only coach...

    Oregon?

    For arguments sake... Let's just say Oregon beats Auburn in a week. Here would be our respective resumes over the last 15 years: Tennessee: 143-59 (.707). 1 National Championship. 2 Conference Championships. 15 Bowl Appearances. 3 BCS Bowl Appearances, 1-2 record. Oregon: 140-58...

    Oregon?

    I might be a little late on this but better late then never. Here you go: Players poll: Oregon uniforms voted NCAA's best - Portland Oregon Ducks Football | Examiner.com It's a pretty consistent finding. A lot of recruits Oregon has picked up have specifically cited uniforms as one...

    The time has come for a PAC-10/SEC bowl game

    It'd never happen. Big Ten/Pac 10 has too deep a history in that game. That being said... I'd love it. And agree with this whole thread. I was really hoping the Pac-10's new bowl with expansion might be an SEC Tie-In but no luck.

    Bridgepoint Education Holiday Bowl- #18 Nebraska vs. Washington

    I'll remain not shocked. Nebraska didn't give a damn. It was the Super Bowl for UW. It showed on the field.

    Bridgepoint Education Holiday Bowl- #18 Nebraska vs. Washington

    Yeah, my exact prediction was "It will be close and UW will fight to the last second but Nebraska pulls it out cause they are just better." Still. Not totally shocked they pulled it off. Motivation is such a huge part of bowl games. And this was a classic case of "thrilled with their chance...

    Bridgepoint Education Holiday Bowl- #18 Nebraska vs. Washington

    I'm not completely shocked. A motivated, fired up UW team playing in it's first bowl in 8 years after having won 3 in a row (including 2 squeakers... one over a rival) just to get there. A deflated, playing for nothing in a disappointment of a bowl game Nebraska with a banged up QB. This had...

    Official North Carolina vs. Tennessee - Music City Bowl thread

    I was driving I40 from Memphis to Nashville today and felt like I was in a Vol fan convoy. Lots of Orange headed North. Good luck, Vols! This Duck is pulling for you guys! Posted via VolNation Mobile

    Oregon?

    36-3 record over the last 3 years. 2 conference championships, a Rose Bowl appearance and a NC Title (at best) or game appearance (at worst.) Trendy uniforms that are consistently voted best in the country by players (I know, most fans hate 'em but we're talking about an 18-year recruits...

    Moore selected All-America over Newton

    There are 5 lists that are officially recognized by the NCAA. The Sporting News, The American Football Coaches Association, The Walter Camp Football Foundation, the AP, and this list (the FWAA.) The big thing is to be named to at least 3 of them, so you can claim to be a "consensus All...

    Moore selected All-America over Newton

    That's just flat out dumb in so many different ways. Even if you were going to leave Newton off... Moore isn't fit to tie Andrew Luck's shoes.

    RUMOR: Harbaugh to Michigan

    I hope it's true. If Harbaugh stays he is the most serious obstacle to Oregon dominance in the North for the next few years.
