Unless Utah face plants a couple of times, I doubt the Ducks can stay with them. Utah had 4-5 seniors come back that will be in the NFL and could have went last year. They’ve said it all year. They wanted this opportunity for redemption. They felt embarrassed last year at the way we ended our season the last two games. I truly believe Utah has treated this season like business. Excellent player leadership and focus. They’ve been ready all season for this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glduck Posted December 5, 2019 Author Share Posted December 5, 2019 Two more sleeps, fellers. Win and it’s the Rose Bowl. Lose and it may be Herbert’s final game, right? He wouldn’t play in the damn Alamo Bowl, would he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HLB Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 On 12/3/2019 at 1:29 AM, Jalapeno said: If that one win Big 12 team is Oklahoma, Utah will get in over the Sooners. OU was getting their rears kicked in Manhattan before rallying to make the final score respectable. Utah clearly played better in their lone loss on the road compared to Oklahoma. Now if that one loss team is Baylor, that will be a tougher decision for the CFP committee since Baylor was up easily at home against OU but choked the game away. Losing at home shouldn't be looked at even as favorably as a road loss. So I think Utah still gets in with a win over Oregon despite who wins the Big 12 CCG. So based on that, if Utah wins they are in the CFP period. Utah's OOC schedule is weaker than Oklahoma's. That being said, Utah's not going to beat Oregon.

It's been a brutal season for @HLB, especially when it comes to Utah. According to him, Utah should be 7-5 or 8-4 rather than 11-1. We need to keep him going..

PapaG Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Utah wins and they are in. Ducks playing Auburn well and losing in the last minute ends up helping Utah more than it did Oregon. Somewhat ironic, but that’s life. Oregon likely to the Rose Bowl if Utah gets in the CFP. Go ... Utes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I posted earlier, the Ducks were flat last weekend in the Civil War because the game literally didn’t matter, yet they were a fumble out of the end zone away from winning 31-10 (spread cover) against a Beaver team playing for their first bowl game since Obama was at the start of his second term.

Jesus, you sound like @HLB with this spin. It was a one-score game with 1 minute left. If Jefferson doesn't fumble, we could be in a bowl, denying (for now) Oregon their first 10-win season since the last time the GOP made yet another failed attempt to pin Benghazi on Hillary.

If if if if Ducks were looking to Friday night and Beavers still couldn’t git r dun. Ducks guaranteed the Rose Bowl with a win tomorrow. Likely still go if Utah makes the CFP. It was an awful letdown performance after the loss in Tempe, but these things happen in all sports. That Gebbia is a nice QB with some mobility, which looks good for the Beavers going into next year. Smith is a hell of a coach. Good hire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Jake Hanson’s as well for the Ducks as the anchor of the offensive line. Luton would have been sacked numerous times. Gebbia was able to avoid the rush. I was impressed by him. Hanson is back for the Utah game. Ducks will need him against that awesome defensive line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
