They won't even win Pac-12. LSU wins it all this year,

[freeVICK]

Hawaii +37 @ USC. Thoughts?

It really doesn't matter

I see Florida State playing in the Nationals
#1 Defense

If you want a live longshot, Wisconsin at 60/1 could at the very least set up excellent hedging opportunities. If Wiscy wins at Nebraska, they could be undefeated entering Big Ten Championship Game. They get Ohio State and Michigan State at home and don't play Michigan.

Can't see ACC team doing anything. Last 2 ACC Champs lost their bowl games 40-12 and 70-33.

its only a 2 team race. imo, USC wins pac 12 by a few games.

That won't matter when Oregon beats them in the Pac 12 Championship Game.

great point...if they win. cant fukking wait for season to start. as a michigan fan, my season is in serious trouble on sep.1st.

[Brock Landers]

USC faces no competition, easy path to the title

[frogsrangers]

Hawaii +37 @ USC. Thoughts?

I am on this... Hawaii should be good enough offensively to score their 14-21 points, so unless USC puts up 60+ Hawaii should cover, which I don't see happening because USC will pull their starters out when they get the chance since they have bigger fish to fry this season.

Also a lot of people think Utah will upset USC this season, and Utah doesn't have to play Oregon or Stanford from the other divison, so Utah's schedule sets up nicely incase they can tie USC at 7-1 in the division with the head-to-head win.

USC has the better starters, Oregon has better depth and the younger Ducks will only get better as the year goes on.

[GunShard]

Sounds about right. The best QB in college at the moment.

[marcojuiceman]

I think Florida State has an easy schedule also

[Easy-Rider 66]

I think Florida State has an easy schedule also

Yeah, FLA St. has an easy schedule. First 2 games are against Murray St. and Savannah St. and also play the likes of BC, Maryland and Duke. Toughest games are at the end of the year at VT and home against FLA. Can See FLA St. making a serious run at the title.

[jjgold]

Barkley tough to stop

I see them only losing 1 game at best

[Louisvillekid1]

V tech is a live shot @ 28/1, Logan Thomas should have a big year

[Rock's House]

Only way they make it is to stay healthy. VERY VERY thin in many areas.

Goes back to what I said about Oregon's better depth.

[CanuckG]

USC's coaching will fukk them over. Doesn't matter they'll be good for awhile anyways they have the top high school QB coming to USC next year so it's just rinse and repeat.

[diveoregon]

I do agree it is a 2 horse race in the Pac12, Oregon in the north and USC in the south. One of these two has to lose on November 3rd, and will then host the rematch for the Pac12 championship game. Neither of these teams is losing a game outside of this matchup. If one of them manages to win both the game on 11/3 and the conference championship they should be a lock for the national championship, if they split they will likely need help.

[CanuckG]

I can see Oregon getting upset

[diveoregon]

To whom?

USC will be the only ranked team they play all year. Stanford starts just inside top 25, but will likely drop out after losing to USC in week 3, and probably losing at Washington following the bye in week 5. Additionally they get Oregon late in the season at Autzen, where Chip won't let last years late flounder to USC happen again. Washington is also at Autzen, and they won't break into the top 25 after their week 2 beating in Baton Rouge.

Spot on and unfortunately I see a split with USC winning in LA but Oregon getting revenge in The Big One.

[diveoregon]

I hope you're right, haha. I am just hoping Oregon can really use the quick pace to take advantage of USC's lack of depth on the Dline. Get those guys with their hands on their knees and run run run, then attack with the TE's when the linebackers start to cheat up. We'll see though, USC always recruits incredible physical specimine, and their is so explosive and poses some serious mismatches with the size and speed of their receivers. Add the best arm in college ball, and Oregon may be in trouble. It was a really good game in Autzen last year, and this year shouldn't dissappoint. Two things are certain, first there will be lots of yardage and scoring, and second I will be there!

At Oregon State public will pound Ducks last week hard

[diveoregon]

That would make a lot of people in small towns all over southern oregon very very happy. That's not going to happen though, they are simply outmatched at every position on both sides of the ball, and have been sine Dennis Erickson left. I wouldn't miss this game for anything. Nothing makes me happier than traveling into hostile territory, getting harrassed for hours while tailgating prior to kickoff(plenty of uncle phil cracks), loads of beer thrown on me, and still leaving with a smile ear to ear!

[Rock's House]

Ducks better get it before the sanctions kick in.

[diveoregon]

That won't happen either. What they did was shiesty, but what they did wasn't a rules violation either. The one major difference between what Oregon did and what other schools are being suspended for is where the money went. The players weren't receiving the additional benefit, it was a third party service. What they paid for didn't amount to much, and they happened to pay significantly more than other schools, but without the money going to the players Oregon will come away from this sanction free. That being said, still shiesty!

you are crazy... no way in hell a Big 10 team is playing for the national title. Even if they go undefeated... no way in hell.


They would take a 2 loss SEC team over any team from the big 10. And besides that either Oklahoma or USC will be undefeated if not both.
