Oregon over 'bama in 2012?? I'm not sure about that one. That was our best chance to win a national championship. If we hit a field goal against Stanford we go the the BCS title and steamroll a very overrated but undefeated Notre Dame team.

For 2010, I won't dispute that because I feel if we played that game 100 times, we would win roughly 50 of them

Bama struggled against high powered offenses that year and that Texas A&M game showed it and Oregon was much much more high powered then Texas A&M. I think the Final Score would be Oregon 31 Alabama 27 as Mariota would rip through Bama's defense although Barner would be shutdown just like LaMichael was vs Auburn but the main difference would be that Mariota was better than Darron Thomas and we didnt have player like De'Anthony Thomas in 2010.

That's the only year in Oregon history I'm very confident in saying Oregon WAS the best team in the nation. They were so dominant and had NFL talent across the board. They literally just had one extremely unprepared game where they couldn't have played worse and they barely lost to a lucky and ref-aided Stanford team. That will always be to me the worst loss in Oregon history.

As for 2010, I think Oregon was a little better, but hard to say for sure. I do know with how the game played out that if the refs did their job Oregon would've been crowned national champions. Stole a defensive touchdown by prematurely calling Scam Newton down when not a single part of his body was touching the ground, stole a Cliff Harris interception when by the rule he was down before he lost the ball and therefore did not need to maintain possession, called a fake delay of game on Oregon that resulted in a 30 yard favor for Auburn, and missed an obvious delay of game on Auburn on a play they scored a touchdown. Also missed numerous dirty plays after the whistle by Fairly. Basically refs did everything they could to help the SEC team and it worked.

I'm clearly not bitter at all over either game.

I dont think LSU beats USC in 2003 , USC by the end of the season had almost become as good as the 04 team and I dont think they beat USC in the title game. Maybe if there was a playoff both Miami from 2000-2002 and USC from 2003-2005 3 peat cause Miami only lost in 2002 due to being jobbed by the refs and it took a superhuman performance by Vince Young for them to just barely take down USC.


Actually thinking about it Miami most likely 3 peats , USC leaning towards no as Vince Young could replicate that performance. Of course both would be tainted as both Miami and USC both flagrantly violated NCAA rules
