The Pac 12 plays Pop Warner football compared to the SEC.
No team that gives up 51 points to another team has a defense. There is more to football than playing run and gun with other teams to see who can score the most points.
LSU beat Oregon last year and Oregon was better last year than they are this year. If not for a late score LSU would have beaten them by 20 points. Like last year, Oregon is overrated. Every team in the weak Pac 12 is worse than they were last year. Alabama’s defense would dominate Oregon. If Alabama runs the table they will play another undefeated team for the title. ND or KS State, but not Oregon. A one loss Georgia team would play them before an undefeated Oregon tam. The reason? See my comments above about strength of conference.

Oregon is overrated.

So is Alabama! Oregon would shred the Bama defense.

Actually, there is nothing more to football than seeing who can score the most points. To paraphrase Herm, 'Helllooooo! That's how you win the game!'

Already forget Spurrier and his 'fun and gun' offense? He routinely put up over 50 points on SEC defenses, even on LSU more than once (did in '96 when they were ranked 12th).

Bama's defense is great, but that offense is average at best. I'm hoping Oregon gets into that BCS championship game, because I think this year they have enough to give them a run.

I think ND would get handed their head (probably won't get past USC, did you watch the game against Pitt?). K-State is having a nice year, but I'd rather take Oregon's offense than theirs against 'Bama. Georgia is only going to finish the season with one loss if they beat 'Bama.
