Ugggghhhh - Stupid Stanford Cardinal.

I am about to start watching the Pac 12 championship, and it is a complete joke!  How the hell is a 3 loss team, with one of those losses to the CAL Bears, even playing for the "championship"?  How the hell is a team that can't even sell out their stadium hosting the game?  A team with 2 losses overall.  

I was so glad that the PAC 12 got a championship game when they added 2 teams and created 2 divisions, but this is seriously a joke.  The best team in the conference is not even playing for the Pac 12 championship, all because of Stanford getting lucky for one game against them.  Stanford didn't win that game, Oregon lost that game.  

Shouldn't they just have the top 2 teams in the division play for the championship of the division?  In this case - it would be a rematch of Stanford and Oregon - it would be at Oregon (where the stadium sells out)...and then the world would see what a fluke that loss to Stanford was.  

Go DUCKS!!!!

It's very simple.... if you want to play in the conference championship, you have to win your division, just like in every conference in the country. Even if you got an SEC-like second chance, it would be at Stanford since your Oregon Ducks couldn't recruit a real kicker.

I'm sure the Ducks are enjoying watching from home, just like you and I though.

LOL - something tells me they are not enjoying watching from home...and I would play Stanford their any day....did you see the crappy attendance?  The couldn't even sell out the championship game.  Now that is funny.    

FWIW - I was pulling for your Bruins....it would have proved what a joke the Stanford victory over the Ducks was.  

I have to ask, how does the Big 10 get a BCS bid when 1/4 of the conference is banned from BCS play?

and/or the devil

The attendance may have had something to do with the weather. Torrential downpours all day. I like about 3 hours away and decided against going to the game. $80 for the cheapest tickets and standing in the rain all day just wasn't worth it.

I still think Oregon is the 2nd best team in the country but don't try to cheapen Stanford's win... They played a legit game against Oregon just as they did against us.

Stanford played a good game - but I still believe that they didn't so much as win the game as Oregon Lost the game.  Oregon was flat - didn't open their playbook, dropped balls and Stanford got lucky with that call in the end zone.  That was not a touchdown.  His shoulder hit first, but he didn't have control of the ball.  

All that said, a win is a win.  It's very tough to run the table in any division in college football. 

In my biased Duck eyes - that was a cheap win.  If Oregon and Stanford played that game over 5 more times in a row - Oregon rolls them in the next 5. 

I must say - the back and forth banter is one of the things I love about college football.  Sure wish your Bruins could have beat Stanford last night and shown just how cheap a win Stanfords win over Oregon was.  LOL

If you want to talk about cheap wins, look at Oregon's out of conference schedule.

You should count it lucky that Chip Kelly didn't call a 2pt conversion on the first TD.  That'd be more of what I typically expect from Oregon (esp since they didn't know they were in for a dogfight).  6 pts on that and Stanford wins without the OT.

Meh, pretty terrible day of college football. The SEC title game was terribly officiated, where personal fouls are only called on teams not called Alabama. If you are goin to take the interception away from Georgia on a rather minor roughing the passer, you have to call the cheap shot on the Georgia QB and the obvious targeting foul with under a minute to go. I hate the rules but you have to call them consistently.

Congratulations on to Alabama for the national title.
