Has anyone mentioned that if I see DUMP I'm gonna kick his ass and suplex him into the cereal bowl?
has anybody mentioned the fact that Oregon's defense is bigger/better up front than last year?

K-State will have the better schedule by the end of the season. OU will most likely have just one loss compared to USC which would have 3 losses if Oregon goes undefeated. I think Oregon St is a very legit team and they've played a decent schedule already.
They've made it look easy against Tech in the second half. I'm on the bandwagon.
Oregon is in if they run the table. Big 12 has no championship game. That will cost K-State a bid if it comes down to an undefeated Oregon and undefeated Kstate.
Alabama might drop a game tbh. I'm not sold that they will run the table just yet.
You're probably right...but it's going to be a much tougher road for Oregon tbh. This year would be the perfect year for a playoff.
Big 12 Homers
The computers will still have K-State number 2 if they go undefeated, but it will be close with Notre Dame. The computers will have Oregon behind both teams.
Scratch that. I'm sold now.
Neat. Still a Big-12 homer for assuming OU would finish with only 1 loss
Yeah tbh I thought maybe this was the year a non-SEC team had a chance but Bama looks like it's on a completely different level.
K-State's a solid team, with solid defense, who doesn't turn it over and makes the most out of other team's mistakes. But Alabama is basically K-State on steroids.
Much rather see Oregon get in tbh
How am I a Big 12 homer? I could care less about the Big 12.Neat. Still a Big-12 homer for assuming OU would finish with only 1 loss
OU was favored in the remaining games. Most people had them winning against Notre Dame.
Either way, I was right about the computer rankings keeping KSU ahead of Oregon. That won't change if both teams go undefeated.
LSU will keep it close against Bama, but their QB sucks, maybe even worse than Jefferson right now. Still, Bama won't come close to facing a better defense the rest of the way unless Georgia's defense plays to their potential and I don't mean yesterday. Driskell basically was a disaster.
Truly shocking that they are in the National Championship game if it were played today. #2 in the latest BCS, and they are the last game on the schedule for Texas. UT usually finds a way to lose to K-state, but this year it will finally be for a legitimate reason.
I think Oregon will finish #2 if they win out.
Too bad the 4 team playoff isn't this year. Might be perfect for it.
Last game for Texas is K-State? Damn, looks like we are gift wrapping another heisman.
Kstate will run the table, but they need to keep blowing people out because you know the media will be looking for an excuse to leapfrog the Domers over them.
ND and k-state are mirror images. hard to say what oregon has because the pac 12 is not very impressive and they had an anemic non-conference schedule. can't see bama losing to anyone.
Glass houses. USC & Oregon State losses hurt Pac 12 shot of getting a team into the MNC game more than OU's loss did to KSU.
I think much of the college football world would agree with you. But in terms of giving Bama a game - do you think Saban would rather play a team who hasn't matched up with one physical unit throughout their schedule with a RS at QB, or arguably the most disciplined team in college football led by 5th yr SR Heisman winner at QB, coached by Bill Snyder?
As far as Oregon not matching up with "one physical unit" I think Alabama is a whole different breed from what either team has faced either way. So both teams are gonna have a hard time adjusting regardless of who they've played. What Big XII defense even remotely compares to Bama?
I don't think either Oregon/K-State beats Bama but Oregon will atleast give them matchup problems due to their speed/explosiveness. I don't see anyway K-State can give Alabama problems with their matchups
Is Oregon more explosive than KSU? Before you just answer "yeah, duh" - break out the numbers. Per possession, KSU is actually scoring more points than the Ducks. Oregon plays at a no huddle pace, which gives them an average of 15 possessions per game. KState huddles and takes their time between snaps, carefully reading the defense, giving them only 11 possessions per game. Oregon is currently averaging 53 ppg. If you gave KSU 15 possesions, they project to 60 ppg.
Kansas State averages 6.9 yards per snap to Oregon's 6.5 yards per snap.
I would argue that some of the opinions expressed in this thread are based upon last 5 years and not 2012 observations.
And regardless, I never bet against Bill Snyder. I was there on a cold night in 2003 when he took on an OU team that was widely being referred to as the Greatest Team in College Football History.
