I never lost fox. Arizona has now opened up a 14 point lead. Has anyone been watching wisconsin against Oklahoma? Whisky struggled mightily to shoot in the first half and kaminsky barely played but wisconsin still leads by one at the half.

Nonsense.  Now we're down to "second and third string linemen" as the excuse?  I swear every time somebody brings up that game, they exaggerate their o-line injuries even more than the last person.  They were missing two starters and one of them was replaced by a five star who had started the previous two games at the other tackle position.

Sorry, but AZ beat Oregon straight up. Sure Oregon had some injuries, every team does. Oregon will still have some injuries in the PAC12 title game. Their all conference center has been hurt, and I'm not sure when he'll be back. Arizona almost certainly has injuries as well.

The point is, AZ went into Autzen stadium and beat Oregon. They also stomped Oregon in Tucson last season. I think RR and Casteel will put a good gameplan together and have a shot at Oregon for a third time.

Arizona can score on Oregon's mediocre defense, and they have just enough athletes on defense to cause Mariota some problems. To be honest, Oregon has 3-4 losses at least if they are playing any other QB in the country besides Mariota. 

Personally, I hope RR can get them again. I don't think he has any shot at the playoff, but I'm still rooting for them.

The Rose is a semi.  And its not all that implausable.

TCU is dormant the next week and a half.  Bunch of teams in front could lose.  And beating Oregon, who the committee has been found to like a lot, twice would mean something.  

Don't rule it out.  Unbelievably Rodriguez will be rooting hard tomorrow for Michigan.  College Football is a strange animal.

I can't believe how much fun this playoff system has been and we haven't even played the damn games yet.  The BCS was horrible, but this new system (while not perfect) has us fans treating each week/game as a potential play-in game.  Its kinda fun.... :)

At some point, it would be nice for UM to explore these new fangled things like the B1G championship and the FBS playoff, but until then, I need my Sun Devils to get their heads out of their asses and start playing some D.

Rooting for Arizona is a just a passive agressive way to express disdain for Michigan. The only people more insufferable than Staee fans when they are winning is Michigan fans when they are losing.

Partially because Oregon's O-line was down a few players last time they played.  Partially because beating a team twice is much harder (plus previous game was on a Thurs which is bad juju for top teams).  Partially because I really really really don't want RR to win lol... I know I know...  but part of it is I'm an adopted Sun Devil fan too.

Its that whole emotion overriding logic thing I'm going with. :D
