BOL Round Table

I have a feeling that when it happens, it will happen all at once. This seems as likely a weekend as any.

I will personally sing your praises if this comes to pass! However, if it does not, better have the leather lederhosen ready and
in place, man........you know this board. RTR!

Nah. Oregon isn't losing to Stanford. They're just a nightmare match-up for the Cardinal and will win going away. Notre Dame isn't losing to Wake either. Kansas State losing to Baylor is possible although highly unlikely given their horrendous defense.

Next week and the week after are our best shots. Oregon's defense is banged up and has to travel to Corvallis to play their arch rival Oregon State who would love nothing more than to ruin the Ducks' season. I still don't think OSU is that good but much crazier things have happened. Notre Dame has to go to USC and the Irish have been playing with fire all season. I think USC's passing attack will finally do in ND. The next week Texas travels to Kansas State. All the pressure is on KSU now, they haven't played with that pressure of being #1 yet, and Texas, while average, has looked pretty good the past two weeks. Oregon will also hopefully be playing USC for the second time and beating a team twice is hard. USC at least put a lot of points on Oregon, maybe they can get a couple of stops this time. If UCLA is in the Pac 12 championship though I think Oregon will work them over.

Still a long way to go but this isn't our weekend. The two weeks after tomorrow as well as our performance in ATL will decide our fate.

Have a hard time seeing K-State losing to a Baylor team that is giving up something like 50 ppg (or maybe more) in Big XII play.

Well I'm going to call my bookie right now. Oregon's giving 20.5 and KS is 13. Easy money, right?

Your realism is not appreciated (jk).

Baylor's defense is atrocious, However they have been focusing on turnover margin the last few games and it seems to have helped. I'm going with a spoiler here.

Stanford is very slow and nonathletic. They have zero shot of hanging with Oregon's athletes in space. This is a horrible match-up for Stanford. They will pretty much have to score every time they have the ball to keep this game from getting out-of-hand.
