Title: Stanford Oregon Becomes the Game of the Year
Post by: ALTideUp on September 23, 2012, 04:33:15 PM
Looking at Oregon's schedule, it is likely that we will see weekly blowouts of the sort we saw last night. I frankly don't think they will have any problem in a shoot-out with USCw. Stanford becomes an important game for 2 reasons. One is that they may end up contending for the #2 spot before it's all said and done. Unlike the ducks, Stanford has a game with with ND which might give them a big boost should they win it decisively. The other is that should we be lucky enough to make the ncg and we play Oregon, the Stanford game will show us how the duck's stack up against a team that plays an awful lot like us on both sides of the ball.

Only in their dreams, there are some SEC games yet to be played. ;)

Not sure what this has to do with anything.

You ever heard of LSU and Alabama?

I'm talking about game of the year in terms of games that are of significance to us. Looking at Oregon's schedule, I don't see them giving up the number two spot until they meet Stanford. That game is after our game with LSU. Even if LSU beats USCe I don't think they dislodge the ducks. In fact, as many penalties and mistakes as they made, I can see them at #5-8 by the time we play them. All I'm saying is that IF we are still in position to to be in the NCG, and IF Oregon is still in position to be our opponent, Stanford is our opportunity to see how the ducks hold up against a team that plays like us. Everyone else they play is similarly throw it all over the place type teams.

You keep saying, over and over, that Stanford plays like us. We are just concerned for you!

Maybe get on to bed. The interwebz will still be here tomorrow!

Be honest. Have you even watched Stanford play? Do you actually know what you are talking about or are you just saying that no team in the history of team sports is as awesome as we are? I'm not saying they are as good as us, i'm saying they play our style of football. Check the team stats. They are the only team in the PAC that plays our style of football: run/pass balance, time of possession, low points/yards allowed, low turnovers and penalty yards. They are last in passing yards but undefeated.

I knew what you were saying. I have watched them play (bits and pieces). I also know there is no S in Cardinal. But just because a team has helmets and shoulder pads like the big kids wear, it doesn't automatically make them able to play with the big boys. The Pac 10 has a long ways to go when their 2nd best team gives up 17 to San Jose St. JMHO

I think at this point in the season, Stanford would probably give us our best workout

Make no mistake, LSU has not curled up in the fetal position and gone away.

Oh I agree! I expect that tiger to roar, but, that National Championship beat down last year has a lingering effect

I look forward to the Stanford / Notre Dame game in 2 weeks , they  should  both be undefeated
as far as game of the year, that will be the SECCG

As of this week we have 6 SEC teams without a loss. Three from each side. There will be some very good regular season games. The East looks like they make be able to put a good team in the SEC CG for the first time since Tebow was at Florida. These games are much more important to our season than anything going on out on the West Coast.

Tru Dat. You don't necessarily have to win the SECCG to be natl champ, but you sure can't lose it.

I've only seen Stanford and Washington play one game each.  Stanford vs USC and Washington vs LSU.  From those two games I couldn't believe that Stanford was only a 6 1/2 point favorite in the game last night.  I would've made the line Stanford -21.  I instantly knew that my perception of those two teams was wrong.

Actually the Game of the Year will probably come down to:

Harvard vs. Dartmouth, two Ivy League powerhouses. Harvard has won 11 National Championships, including sharing one with Auburn in 1913.

TCU vs K. State, two more well-known undefeated powerhouses who are ready to show everyone how to play football.

Applying the transitive property to football wins and losses is questionable, but it certainly is tempting to recalibrate kne's opinion of USCw after this mess.

Wake Forest is in North Carolina?  Well you learn something new everyday.  I thought it was in Germany.  Oh wait, that is the Black Forest.

A common mistake. It's actually in the South Pacific. Or is that Wake Island ....  ???

How did Stanford ever lose to USCw?

USCw is now USCs since they have fallen south of the last spot in the poll. And yet they love them some Lane in SoCal. Bwahahahahahaha

USCw thinks they have NCAA problems now? Wait and see what happens if they (fans, admin) start putting job pressure on Lil Laney.
