They threw for a shite ton of yards against LSU.
They threw for a shite ton of yards against Auburn in losing by a LAST SECOND FIELD GOAL for the national title.
(Emphasis because this seems to be a problem for SEC homer to remember)
And this isn't the NFL.
Oregon has Mariota now and different players. Year to year is different.

This is the real problem with college football overall, no one really knows anything 
For example, the Pac 12 has looked very good this year, but they haven't beaten anyone who people really thing is national title good. Clemson is prob the only team who beat a top team from another conference this year.
The best OOC wins last year for the Pac 12 were probably Oregon beating up on K-State and Stanford winning the Rose bowl by 7 on a neutral field. K-State was good but not great last year and Wisky was a team who was 3rd in its own division.
The only time you can "prove" you're good is bowl season, when it's already way too late since the national title game is set.
Lets say the top 4 teams as of today go undefeated, since it's possible for all 4 to do so. The Pac 12/SEC champs play for it all. What if the ACC really is good this year, and they go like 5-2 in bowls? It's too late to fix the problem
A 4 team playoff solves that problem ONLY IF they are willing to take a 1-loss ACC champ over a 1-loss SEC non champ

Right, but just like there's always too much emphasis on past years in CFB, there's too much put on yards every week. Yards mean dick in the end if being forced to get yards that way puts your team into a spot of turning it over or leads to not being able to put points on the board.
I agree every year is different, and also agree Oregon looks better this year than past ones. I was just pointing out that if you went to this point of the year in past years, you'd find the same exact argument being had (hell, same on both sides really).
