When the last time there has been this much positivity after the first game?

2 years ago after losing to Wisconsin. Everybody was positive that Les Miles was on his way out the door.

We are either the best team in the world or everyone from the university president right on down to the guy who washes jock straps needs to be fired. There is no in between.

The masses here overreact to almost everything - either positively or negatively.

2011 was the last time we opened with a win over a big opponent so maybe then. 2014 we beat #14 Wisconsin, but it was not a well played game.

Hmm. 2014 win against Wisconsin in Houston? 2011 win against Oregon at Jerry's World? Was at both games. 2011 gets my vote.

I went to Lambeau for that opener. Great trip. Terrible outcome.

Alabama was perceived to be beatable back then, now not so much.

For me personally, Oregon. I'm actually starting to believe this team could be just as good.

QB is there, RBs look more than capable, OL will get better but certainly talented, WR talent is there, ST is there, Defense seems it can be just as good...etc.

Perception or not, that Alabama team was absolutely loaded.

LSU was also extremely dirty. If we would have played Oklahoma State that would have gone down as one of the best teams of all time

It’s mostly the idea of a QB that has sparked the runaway positivity.

Well he's been doing a shite job. I don't see how this isn't totally warranted.

Interesting that you say that, because it seems to be fairly balanced this week.

The negativity is in hiding, waiting with baited breath for the opportunity to resurface!

2011 Oregon.

I guess it’s a Jerry Jones effect type of thing....

2011 everyone was through the roof after dismantling Oregon in their prime. We went into that season with lofty expectations though. And amazingly exceeded every one of them by far aside from winning that last game.
