PAC-12 Championship open thread: Oregon vs. Utah
December 6th, 2019 at 8:42 PM ^
Finebaum is an idiot.
December 6th, 2019 at 8:47 PM ^
I want to see Utah in the playoff
December 6th, 2019 at 8:49 PM ^
That’s dumb. Osu would steam roll them. If they play Oklahoma at least it could be a game.
December 6th, 2019 at 9:02 PM ^
Thanks Shea
December 6th, 2019 at 8:49 PM ^
To hell with Finebaum
December 6th, 2019 at 8:55 PM ^
That was one of the EZest blocked punts I've ever seen.
December 6th, 2019 at 8:55 PM ^
Utes look over-rated. Add another SEC team in the playoff
December 6th, 2019 at 8:56 PM ^
Some of you never learn!
There's 3+ quarters to go
December 6th, 2019 at 9:01 PM ^
Whittingham not really much of a big game coach, though. His teams usually disappear in the big moments.
December 6th, 2019 at 8:55 PM ^
C'mon UTES!
Though it seems Oregon got off to a good start
December 6th, 2019 at 8:59 PM ^
Why would you throw that at that point...jeez
December 6th, 2019 at 9:00 PM ^
Utah is great at killing their own momentum.
December 6th, 2019 at 9:00 PM ^
Where do schools like Utah find these game breaking RBs like Moss?
ARE YOU SERIOUS UTAH FFS. At least try not to do something stupid for one drive.
December 6th, 2019 at 9:01 PM ^
I want me some 6’5 335lb pass rushers.
December 6th, 2019 at 9:06 PM ^
OSU didn't blow Michigan off the ball. It was just poor technique.

Georgia beats LSU tomorrow. LSU gets 4 seed. Burreuxs and LSU kick the snot out of top seeded OSU.
December 6th, 2019 at 9:23 PM ^
Georgia is so painfully average
There's nothing they do that LSU doesn't do ten times better than them
December 6th, 2019 at 10:00 PM ^
If LSU can't beat Jawja, what are the odds they'll beat OSU?
December 7th, 2019 at 6:42 AM ^
He's leaving, on that midnight train to Jawja.
December 6th, 2019 at 9:11 PM ^
Kayvon Thibedoux and Zach Charbonnet were HS teammates.
December 7th, 2019 at 8:14 AM ^
And Thibodeaux can come off the edge a little...like WOW!!!
December 6th, 2019 at 9:16 PM ^
Just tuned in. So Oregon is playing to ensure their own conference's only hope for the playoffs, Utah, is eliminated right? Furthering the devaluation of the pac 12? The officials must have some specific instructions here from the commisioner... Is there any sign of such shenanigans?
Edit.. Oregon now up 17 so conspiracy theory out rhe window
December 6th, 2019 at 10:36 PM ^
Save for a couple of missed PI calls in the first half, the game was called fairly well. Can't blame the refs for late hits and dropped passes...
December 6th, 2019 at 9:25 PM ^
QB takes a dive instead of going for first down on third down, then does nothing on fourth down. No chance Utah wins this game. Small team on the big stage.
December 6th, 2019 at 9:25 PM ^
Utah is ranked 5? What have I missed??
CFP system is weird. Does it matter if you're ranked 5 or 20 anymore?
December 6th, 2019 at 9:29 PM ^
CFP is like the previous system. It’s who likes you.
December 6th, 2019 at 9:30 PM ^
Basically the rules are none of their rankings matter until literally the last day. I think in 2014 TCU was ranked like 4th for four straight weeks, never lost a game during that time, and then dropped 5 spots the day of the final rankings. It's all designed to trick people into watching teams that are highly ranked but aren't actually good. I for sure wouldn't be watching this crappy Utah team if they weren't "fighting for a playoff spot". They got smushed by USC in September, why did anyone think they were good?
December 6th, 2019 at 9:30 PM ^
Utah's *top 5* defense playing in a big game like a Don Brown *top 5* defense.
December 6th, 2019 at 9:34 PM ^
Not imaginative... red sammy is now sammy redd
Got your slam in though
December 6th, 2019 at 9:40 PM ^
Geez these teams commit a lot of pre-snap penalties.
December 6th, 2019 at 9:44 PM ^
Just turned it on, but I can't say I'm surprised at the score. Does anyone really think Utah is the 5th best team in the country?
December 6th, 2019 at 9:48 PM ^
Kyle Whittingham probably did. . .just like Harbaugh thought his team should be B1G favorites.
December 6th, 2019 at 9:53 PM ^
I don't know anymore. Tonight we would maul both of these teams.
December 6th, 2019 at 10:03 PM ^
Can you imagine, Baylor beats Okla, LSU beats GA, LSU and Clemson, the two best teams, have to play in the semi-final, while OSU gets Baylor.
December 6th, 2019 at 10:10 PM ^
I’m hopin Georgia beats lsu tmrw. LSU would be #4 and play osu in playoffs
December 6th, 2019 at 10:14 PM ^
It would be nice to see Joe Burrow light up OSU's defense. . .that secondary did not impress me against Michigan.
December 6th, 2019 at 10:39 PM ^
Right? Even late in the third, when all they had to do was tee off in the pass rush, Shea was carving (so many drops). Not impressed with their defense. But LSU's defense isn't all that, either...
December 6th, 2019 at 10:43 PM ^
I have a feeling LSU's defense has another gear. . .I think with their offense scoring so easily, a lot of time their defense wasn't quite intense all game long. They played the whole game their last game against A&M and looked pretty solid.
December 6th, 2019 at 10:03 PM ^
20-0 Ducks. Oklahoma is in with the win over Baylor.
December 6th, 2019 at 10:25 PM ^
Baylor would get in with a win over OU too
December 6th, 2019 at 10:05 PM ^
Hated Utah ever since having to deal with their asshole fan base in their stadium four years ago. Wishing them nothing but failure and broken dreams tonight.
December 6th, 2019 at 10:24 PM ^
May I ask for a quick story time?
December 6th, 2019 at 11:20 PM ^
I wore khakis and the thin M sweatshirt because it was Harbaugh's first game and I thought that was going to be a thing the fanbase did (never really caught on). Had a surprising number of khaki-related obscenities thrown my way ("Nice khakis, dickhead!"), a couple empty plastic cups thrown my way at random times, and of course a fat loud guy in an OSU national champs hat sat right next to me the whole game loudly giving me shit (his daughter went to Utah, I guess). Just hell all around; by far the worst I've ever been treated in a visiting stadium.
December 6th, 2019 at 11:47 PM ^
That sounds like the weakest “worst” treatment I’ve ever heard from. Visiting plenty of other stadiums, I can assure you if you think that is the worst, just watch every away game on TV from your couch
December 7th, 2019 at 12:15 AM ^
"I wore khakis and the thin M sweatshirt because it was Harbaugh's first game and I thought that was going to be a thing the fanbase did..."
I'm sorry, man, I'm kind of laughing at you, too. In a good-natured manner, of course.
December 6th, 2019 at 10:13 PM ^
Does an Oregon win pretty much ensures us playing USC and not Washington in the holiday bowl should we go there??
December 6th, 2019 at 10:25 PM ^
this game doesn't affect us, if it does I don't see how?
December 6th, 2019 at 10:44 PM ^
If Utah goes to playoffs then Oregon to rose. That slides all the pac 12 teams up a slot which means we’ll likely get Washington in the holiday...at least that’s what I thought
December 6th, 2019 at 10:33 PM ^
Just turned this on - good night, Utah, say goodbye to the playoffs you never met...
