Don't get me wrong, I am all for Oregon winning the title this year, and contrary to another post, I love their nasty uniforms. However, until the they go east and beat a respected team (ohio state, bama, florida, etc), they will not be able to overcome the bias. <br /><br />Quack Quack QuackEndohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04120227586399228309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4302795000497411021.post-13806593053414511972010-11-05T05:43:07.807-07:002010-11-05T05:43:07.807-07:00What Makes:

The one loss Ducks were passed over because of this bias. They ended up the season #2, but could have been somebody, had the east coast snobs not been jerks.<br /><br />But what can you do? Not much.Freddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10778430453468720627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4302795000497411021.post-13215703243482272762010-11-03T21:11:03.768-07:002010-11-03T21:11:03.768-07:00Fredd,

There is no denying the caliber of this team; it would probably fare well in the western Conference of the NFC, finishing somewhere between the Niners and the St Louis Rams.<br /><br />That having been said, this team has the single most awful football uniforms in the history of college sport. I do not know which is more deplorable, the green jerseys with the manhole patterns on the shoulders or the duck-wing ones. <br /><br />What ever happened to simple, understated monocolor shirts with normal block numerals and t-bands on the sleeves?<br /><br />*sigh*<br /><br />Well, they are good though. I hope they do not slip, stumble, and fall on the road to the BCS championship. It is fraught with eastern bias for mid-Western and/or Southern schools.k6whphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14459579212118994056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4302795000497411021.post-32238656397733932082010-11-03T15:27:03.010-07:002010-11-03T15:27:03.010-07:00I think they will be in the tittle game.
