atrocious play calling ain't helping.

and how many drops has michigan had since he came in?
not saying hes ready only that we have done nothing to help him at all, play calling or execution

I'd like to remind you Nebraska has a bad defense too.

Domers going undefeated btw...

Sign of the apocalypse.

100% gay

Me or the fact they're winning out?

Seriously, they have USC and that's it left. USC couldn't beat Richrod.

Game over man. Game over.

alabama and oregon get in over nd

Gn8 USC, OreSt, FL

Hurts OR strength of sched, but now the ND fanboys will start to say how awesome they are compared to OR, SEC, etc teams to go to NC over them

If bama and OR win out still should be them in NC game

Should be.

But the crack on the door to let the Domers in just got a whole lot wider.

Pack up your shit folks, the end is neigh.

does ND have a clause for BCS shit if they go undefeated they get NC? I remember hearing something about that awhile back....which would be stupid

ya, oregon is gonna get killed in bcs sos because pac12 teams beating each other up is way less impressive than sec teams beating each other up

extra conference game kills pac-12 appearance, i think it really proves pac-12 is much better than it looks

I mean I would brag too if my team is undefeated and out of all the teams they have played so far only 1 has 5 wins.

K state will pass OR and play Bama in the title game

Pac whatever is shit

says the guy who gets offended when anyone talks bad about the big east/big 12

What about the football part of football? Glad you asked. ESPN's numbers guy, Brad Edwards, took a closer look at the Oregon defense this week, noting that if you go beyond some superficial numbers that don't look impressive, you can make a case that the Ducks are playing defense on par with the finest teams in the country.

He took a measure of the Ducks defense only when an opponent was within 28 points, noting, "Using only statistics from when the score is within 28 points allows us to evaluate how teams perform when the starters are on the field and playing with maximum intensity."

What did he find? First, he found the Ducks have allowed 19 touchdowns this season -- one a pick-six against the offense -- but only seven were given up when the game margin was within 28 points.

Then he entered that into his Bat Computer.

Here's what he found. The Ducks ranked third in the nation, behind only Alabama and Notre Dame, in points per drive at 0.89. The Ducks allow just 4.03 yards per play, which ranks fourth in the nation. The Ducks defense leads the nation in red zone TD percentage at 22 percent, or four TDs allowed in 18 drives. Finally, on third-down conversion defense, the Ducks rank second, trailing only Oregon State, with a 24.7 percent success rate.
