We? People in the know - who actually watch football west of the Mississippi - already knew this. Ask LSUinNW, loweralabamatrojan, RogertheShrubber And how exactly is giving up 42 points - stopping Oregon? Football is 4 quarters.
Oregon had 300 yards in the first half people. Grasu snapped the ball inside the 5 on first down into the ground and Barr recovered. Oregon easily rolls UCLA without mistakes - first half included.
What vexes me is that FSU gave up 30+ points to fricking BC. The same team that USC throttled to the tune of 35-7. All this talk about who is better and teams have 5 games left if they're going to make the NC game and conference championship games to boot.

Such a simple explanation. Our defensive system is completely different than last years. It is much more complex, hence the big learning curve.

They sucked them off after their "big win" at Washington, and did nothing and made no corrections when Washington got taken to the woodshed by Arizona State.
Yes because comparing our win against UW at their stadium in front of 70k in a rival game is the same as getting them at home? Think before posting.

Ohio State fans have been saying that all year.
I think a lot of people saw that UCLA made Oregon work for a lot of their points for 3 quarters. Oregon fans will say they did what they always do and wore UCLA down etc. That is true and it that should be applauded.
The problem is that in a NCG setting, the team playing Oregon won't get worn down since they have 5 weeks to run wind sprints, and all the teams Oregon could face have better athletes on the defensive side of the ball than UCLA. I think it takes, at minimum, 30+ to beat Oregon this year. All the offenses they can see can score that too.
I think this is an interesting year since there are at least 3 teams who seem complete on both sides of the ball

The D is small on Oregon. Its very noticeable. And I'm not convinced on their Depth. Any D with speed and size can handle Oregon. UCLA proved that in the first half till that Monster DT they have went down
How much fail can there be in one post?

Everyone not in the Pac 12 is still very much in the prove me wrong Oregon camp. They have not done well offensively against top 5 teams. I'm not saying this year is the same old story, just what people think
FSU is blowing people up. How much of that is because the ACC really is god awful, Clemson included?
Bama gave up 42 points to a team they had 9 months to gameplan for, yet no one has a problem with them being #1
Anyone can play this all day. The truth is that all 3 of those teams have played at an extremely high level all year and are good in all facets of the game

Oregon is number 2 in the computers. If a voter votes Oregon #2, he has plenty to back his vote up.

Might seem similar. Expect that FSU was up 35-0 in the first, and Oregon was tied at halftime and the game was close well into the 4th. Basically proves that running up the score is important, which is just stupid. So glad the BCS is done after this year.
UCLA >> NC State.
Are you saying this should be comparable competition?

Why does that matter? Did 2011 not teach us anything? Your resume is pointless. It's all about the eye test.

UCLA should have been a big test for Oregon, instead they housed them from start to finish.

Honestly, if Mariotta makes just 2 simple throws (the one on 4th down where overthrew his wide open receiver and the other on 3rd down that would have kept a scoring drive alive in UCLA territory), Oregon would have had 14 more points. (Throws he normally makes)
Not to mention, the only time UCLA scored, was when they got the ball practically in the redzone to start those two drives (the initial Oregon turnover and the blocked punt). Other than that, UCLA did absolutely NOTHING. They got completely shut out on drives that didn't start 20 yards from the endzone.
Neutral field vs Florida State, gimme Oregon.

I love the if argument. Bottom line is UCLA outplayed Oregon in the first half and Oregon blew them out in the second. Its that simple.

If UCLA's D can stop Oregon a week after an incredibly physical close game at Stanford, then is there any doubt that Bama with a month of preparation and rest could stop them?

Oregon doubled up UCLA in yardage in the first half. A fumble via a bad snap on the 5 yard line and missed fourth down conversion were all that were between us and 28 points in the first half.

Yep, many reactions are made by the box score and not watching any games. I suspect the OP didn't watch the first half of the Oregon game.

Okay...Oregon had 300 yards in the first half people! Let that sink in for a second. Oregon herped and derped their way to 14 points.
Let's use this logic: if CSU can keep it close do you think Oregon can?
I love how myopic people get over one half of football when every team, FSU and Bama included, have herped and derped their way through a bad half.
