Nope, still need one more win or a Beaver loss.

Re: Has the Ducks locked up the North?
Nope, only team that can win the North besides Oregon is Oregon State shockingly. They only have 2 PAC-12 losses and Oregon has 3 more games including Oregon St. If Oregon beats Zona and Oregon State loses to either Washington or Arizona St then it’ll be secure, or if Oregon State loses the next two then Oregon will have it even with a loss to Arizona. OSU needs Oregon to lose 2 of their last 3 including to Oregon State to win the North along with Oregon State winning out against Washington, ASU, @WSU, and @Oregon.

Re: Has the Ducks locked up the North?
Although OSU has looked much improved the past few weeks, I don't think they've got enough in them to not lose at least one more game before the Civil War, especially with UW and WSU still on their schedule.

I agree. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them lose the next 4.greenyellow wrote:Although OSU has looked much improved the past few weeks, I don't think they've got enough in them to not lose at least one more game before the Civil War, especially with UW and WSU still on their schedule.

Re: Has the Ducks locked up the North?
Oops you're right, good catch. Magic number is two, so to clinch we need two Duck wins, two Beaver losses, or one of each.RebelDuck wrote:Two wins or one beaver lossTray Dub wrote:Nope, still need one more win or a Beaver loss.

After the win last night, Oregon will win out and play Utah for the conference championship. I have no doubts about that now.Tray Dub wrote:Oops you're right, good catch.

Re: Has the Ducks locked up the North?
Utah still going to be a very tough match up for Oregon. On Pac 12 network they were all talking bout it and they all think Utah wins. They have a better defense and a better run game. Oregon will have the advantage at quarterback. I tend to agree that Utah will have the advantage. Our defense has had issues the last 3 weeks against good offenses. Take away the 4 turnovers yesterday and the Oregon USC game might have different outcome. Utah does not turn the ball over. Oregon will have their hands full.

Re: Has the Ducks locked up the North?
I heard the announcers and disagreed with them. They are similar teams but Oregon feels grittier and like they can be more wow-ing. I am not saying Oregon will win out and beat them, but I do love that they are seen as underdogs and I do not believe that they are. I think Oregon is the better team for any type of game. Our run game has also picked up to look very good at the right time of the season. Blocking is getting better as well. I do not believe for one second that Utah is the better team. They have not shown me anything to indicate that they are.GoDucksIn09 wrote:Utah still going to be a very tough match up for Oregon.

Re: Has the Ducks locked up the North?
So.... when we end up playing UCLA in the championship game, and staring down Chip Kelly across the field, it’ll be really interesting to be on the other side of the conversation as the powerful team Kelly’s Oregon teams could rarely conquer.
I think the Utah v UCLA game will be better than most people anticipate. The Bruins look like they’ve really turned a corner.

Oregon State has a knack for catching teams in weeks they are at their worst.
Probably because osu is always over looked. Happens in both football and basketball.
