Florida v Georgia is the same weekend as USC at Oregon, there's some competition... Hopefully Gameday will pick one or the other (UT/UF or UF/UGA) and come to Eugene one for one of our games... Im hoping its USC ...
GO DUCKS.

I do not see it being Utah for the reasons mentioned above. I think if Tenn has a winning record when play Florida it will be there although really think it is a no brainer as to who will win regardless of records. The other thing about the Utah game is they are a non conference game against a non BCS team. I just do not see with the losses Utah has had that it will be them. I would first pick Cal. If look at the last 4 or 5 years Cal has been a major thorn in our side. We have lost like 3 straight to them. To me it is going to be Cal. We have to get by Cal.. before the USC game even becomes relevent in terms of the NC. There is no doubt in my mind that if we go undefeated we have the shot at the NC. Going undefeated with our tough schedule will not be easy though.

Oregon will be in the Top 10 after they beat a ranked Boise State, Purdue and ranked Utah team and Cal should be undefeated and ranked in the Top 15 so that is the first choice, similar to 2 years ago. USC is a no brainer as long a Oregon is undefeated or a highly ranked one loss team (maybe a loss to Cal) and USC is undefeated, similar to the Oregon/ASU matchup 2 years ago. Even if Oregon only gets one Gameday visit I would be happy.
You really don't think Utah could be in the top 10 after a few weeks for the Oregon-Utah match up?
I don't know, but I'm really digging that much up. Something new and different for a change. It'll be a fun game, that's for sure.

Utah will be undefeated but they play Utah State and San Jose State before playing Oregon and I think they will start the season probably ranked around #18-20 so I don't think they will be in the top 10 when they play Oregon but I agree they should give the Ducks a good game

I would guess that living in Berkeley sort of mellows a person.
Same kind of mellowing effect Eugene can have on someone?
