WTF?

  • Matt Millen and Robert Smith both leave Oregon out of their way early top 5.

    Smith's top 5: LSU, USC, Georgia, Texas, Clemson.
    the top two i don't have a problem with, but UGA, Texas, and Clemson are better then Oregon according to smith, he is a complete dolt, WTF!!!!!!! i feel ashamed being a Minnesota Vikings fan :(

    Millen's top 5: USC, LSU, Oklahoma, Florida State, Clemson
    again, the top two are fine and Oklahoma seems to be a preseason top 5 team, but Florida State is the Cal of the ACC (great recruiting and all that jazz but can't live up to the hype) and what is up with the Clemson band wagon? they got beat down by WVU, how can a team get beat by 47 points by a team from the Big East and then be a preseason top 5 team?

  • Millen is useless and I wish he would leave college football. He couldn't evaluate talent as a GM and he can't evaluate talent as an analyst. As for Mr Smith I haven't ever respected his opinion. Two of the least important top 5 predictions available in my opinion.

    Couldn't agree more with that. Both tie for first for the Dickie Vital award with me (I turn both off as soon as they show up on any show).

    Ducks will likely be three or four on most legit preseason predictions.

    A little off subject.
    FYI, for anyone who cares: I purposely did not watch the sec conference championship game Monday night and was obviously not alone since that show was the lowest rated BcS (supposed) championship in the history. I also didn't voice my opinion on those threads as to not give the subject any more credit than they were already getting. I hear that the BcS committee will likely move at the rate of the ncaa or a glacier in enacting a plus one format in (get this) 2014. I wonder if they smoke their cigars as slowly behind their "closed doors?"

    Go Ducks!

  • Wasn't Florida St and Clemson in a lot of peoples top 5 or 10 this year? I think they're making guesses on the youth and recruiting classes. Problem is they're ignoring the obvious and thats those coaching staffs don't know what to do with the talent.

  • The only reason Millen is on tv is because CBS or whoever it is lost a bet. You have to live with the consequences.

    The formula can't be changed for two more years because of pre-existing stadium and broadcast contracts. (It might happen more quickly if everyone boycotts ESPN.)

    Sorry, I have to whole heartedly disagree with this!!! Even with a screwed up system, if you are not 'on the radar' you can (basically) kiss any BCS berths good bye.

    We started Top 5 and finished Top 5 this year.

    I'm not worried about a high preseason ranking.

    MoneyBeGreen

  • I think we are a lock top 10 and probably top 5. The pre-season ranking is without question the 2nd most important poll of the year.

    I think its pretty safe to say we will be on the radar and if we take care of business we will be fine.

    And because the Lions finally got tired of paying him $5 mill a year to screw up the roster.

    I believe Smith had Texas A&M and Florida State in his pre-season top 5 last year, how'd those team end up?

    As long as we are going to be near the Top 5 in the real polls going in to next year I couldn't care less. Our goal is clearly the nc game next year. It's also clear that we will very likely have to beat USC twice to get there. If we beat them twice, I think there is no question we play in the natty. But with our weak non-conference schedule, we probably have no chance unless we are undefeated.

  • Ya, after watching Texas "manhandle" UCLA in the bowl game, I bet they would take us to the woodshed too. P.S. the post reeks of sarcasm.

    No, that was a direct statement concerning your remark about wanting to be under the radar, and the consequences of that. Not once did I make any reference to a fear that the Ducks would be under the radar!

    Win the P-12 and you play in the Rose bowl. Your ranking is irrelevant.
