The Oregon team they barely beat at home was legit one of the worst 30 teams in the country at the time. I mean, they fricking SUCKED. Why does everybody ignore that?

holy crap, just when i think I've it all from Bama fans we get gems like this

First of all the idea that Oregon was one of the worst 30 teams is beyond stupid, typical exaggeration. Oregon was not playing well relative to their own standards but were not below all the P5 teams plus another 30 non p5 teams
2)Even if Oregon was not up to their usual standards, that is not MSU's fault. They played in the NCG LAST YEAR. When the series was scheduled, Oregon was one of the elite programs in CFB (look at their record from 2010-2014). Big ups to MSU for having the balls to schedule that series, unlike say Alabama
3) Nick Saban said publicly when he was at LSU, and I'm paraphrasing, that the ideal was to schedule big name teams that were down, so it sounds like a good team, but is one you should beat easily, you know, like Michigan in 2012 or West Virgina or Wisconsin maybe. He did steal that idea from Skip Bertman, but it is awfully hypocritical of Bama fans to be criticize MSU who for an OOC game vs one of the top 3 programs from the last half decade just because they weren't as good as the previous years.
