Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

Oregon at 8.5 wins; would be pretty unhappy if they hit under on that. 9 wins should be absolutely expected with our experience on defense, at QB, and at OL.

1. Washington 10.5
2. Oregon 8.5
USC 8.5
4. Stanford 8.0

7. WSU 6.5

UCLA 5.0
11. Colorado 4.0

Easy non-conference schedule making us potentially look better than we are.

I'll take the over on UCLA, Stanford and Cal. Under on Washington.

wait... is this for regular season or do bowl games count?

regular season

I heard from a fan up here in Washington that a team from the Pac 12 has to win a minimum of 6 Pac 12 games now to be bowl eligible. I would suspect this will make it difficult for some teams to be bowl eligible. If this is true Oregon will have to win 9 games this year to go anywhere.

The league voted to disqualify a team with an overall losing record from participating in a bowl game. Finishing 6-6 makes a team eligible.

That six win total includes non-conference games. Previously a 5-7 team could go to a bowl game if their APR (academic progress rate) met the threshold and there were unfulfilled bowl slots.

I mean at 100/1 why not put $20 on the Ducks to win the Natty?

That is exactly what I plan on doing. If the ducks lose, it’s only $20, doesn’t matter at all really. If they win, that’s $2,000, decent chunk of change.

We don't have near the depth and overall quality to compete for a NC. Herbert could be comparable to Mariota(unlikely though) and transform the team by himself, but we still had an overall better roster back in 2012-2014.

Our LB rotation and skill players just aren't at an elite level yet.

Because you are throwing 20 dollars away.
