Me too. I'll say this again: Oregon's turnover-filled opening loss to LSU has unfairly tarnished them. I've always felt they were better than Stanford. In fact, they might be the 3rd best team in the country after LSU and Alabama.
My deal with Boise State isn't rational. I just hate that the media and casual fans have jumped on their bandwagon. Crowned em'... I like UH, I hate the BCS, I hope they do crash it. I'll be anti-UH when people actually start thinking Keenum is better than Luck, which is already happening on the local radio. Sigh.
Somehow, I don't feel that game will have knocked Luck out of the Heisman race. He will probably still be right behind Richardson and Weeden.
DUCKS back to the NC game. LaMichael James for the Heisman. and GO DUCKS!!! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If OU beats OSu, all hell will break loose with Oregon and OU fan bickering over who the more deserving team is. I think OU over OSU has to be considered the more impressive win than Oregon over Stanford. It will be interesting!!! As for those saying Luck is exposed, I seem to remember one Peyton Manning and his inability to beat Florida during his tenure at Tennessee. Things worked out ok for him. Sure looks good for UH. Hope they don't get too far ahead of themselves and spit the bit v SMU.
I think Oregon losing to LSU (in Dallas) is about a billion times more excusable than somehow losing at home to a dreadful Texas Tech team.

Yeah I don't understand how Luck was "exposed" last night anyway. 1 bad pass in the 1st quarter picked off? Big deal. His other interception was the receiver's fault for not catching it, his 3rd interception of that fashion this year. His receivers aren't explosive especially with Owusu out so there was no big play potential. The game exposed Stanford's defense but those Oregon backs are lightning quick in the first place. Bad turnovers gave them great field position on 2-3 of those scoring drives. Oregon is legit and I believe they will prove it even more in their bowl game.
