Why do people crap on Boise State's schedule but not on Oregon's?

JakeT. · Oct 26, 2010

Do you guys realize that the, besides Stanford, the 6 teams that Oregon has beat (Portland State, New Mexico, Washington State, Arizona, UCLA, and Tennessee) have a total of just 6 freaking wins against D1 teams this year!

6 wins, 32 losses (15.8%) against D1 competition!

The overall record of teams not named Stanford is 11-32 (25.6%) when you count in the beatings over D2 teams.

How can the same people who have said Boise has a weak schedule think Oregon deserves to be ranked ahead of them right now?

Just wondering.

For comparison, Boise's wins (not including Virginia Tech to be fair) have a record of 12-25 (32.4%) with just 2 wins against D2 squads (both against Southern Utah, coincidentally). 10-25 (28.7%).

Call the Boise State schedule weak if you must, but Oregon has played bigger jokes so far with a barely 15% winning rate against D1 squads. If you want to say the Broncos have had a weak schedule, then you have to say that Oregon has had one as well (even weaker). That's all I'm saying.

This is reflected by the computers in the BCS.........

The POLLS have both OREGON and BSU overrated for what they have actually accomplished THIS SEASON........as neither one should probably be in the top four AT THIS TIME.

Meanwhile they play USC, WASHINGTON, CAL, ARIZONA, and OREGON ST in their
remaining games...........very tough.

I understand the computers have made the adjustments, but the human factor is always talking about the weak schedule Boise has faced but has no problem putting Oregon above them despite the fact that the Ducks have faced weaker thus far. That part just gets swept under the rug. Never see it on ESPN... nothing.

Won't matter after Oregon loses Saturday.

I AGREE WITH YOU 100%...........BOISE STATEs two wins consisting of ORE ST and VT is a better "TWO WINS" then what most teams in the top 20 can produce YEAR TO DATE

Having said that, I think most are looking at what both teams have on their entire schedule, not just what they have done thus far..........which I agree, is not fair.

because we all know Oregon is better

Haha, yeah they really proved it last year with the same team and coaches. Red Eye will be in here shortly to remind us that it was Chip Kelly's first game, and I'll then remind him that Kelly and the defensive coordinator were with the team and calling the same exact plays for years prior. Never ending circle.

Let's see how they do vs USC, CAL and Arizona first. Washington beat USC too so you never know who's going to pull the upset. Boise State barely beat Virginia Tech and Oregon State who Oregon will crush in my opinion.

Can't wait for the Nevada/Boise game.

JakeT. · Oct 26, 2010

Oregon's going down to USC so I'm not too concerned. Oregon State takes em out too. You heard it here first.

They lost to Stanford and my Huskies. What makes you so sure with Kiffin at the helm they will take down Oregon? Now there's def. a possibility it will happen but what makes you so sure?

Oregon's offense has lots of speed. No team in the Pac-10 has as much speed on defense as USC. USC is at home. Oregon's offense won't run at full strength.

Oregon's defense is decent but gives up big points to team's that can run on their undersized D-line. USC runs for 213 a game on 6.0 a carry. Unlike UCLA, they have the passing game to keep team's honest also.

Oh, LaMichael James has a dinged leg (Oregon RB) and Darron Thomas has a dinged shoulder (Oregon QB). Both should play but not as well as usual.

Oregon 31
USC 45

DwayneBowe · Oct 26, 2010

Thing is with USC's defense is that they allow a lot of points to be scored. Even with a dinged leg I can still see James having his way. On the other hand, USC can also score a lot of points. This could be a classic shootout...take the Over 69.5

69.5 is high but I can't disagree with you.

DrunkenHorseplayer · Oct 26, 2010

The reason BSU's opponents have a better record than Oregon's opponents is because their schedules are much weaker (WAC vs. PAC-10). The computers agree with you though; they have BSU tied for 6th and Oregon 8th.

Like I said you need to stop crying and just play and win and go to the Fiesta Bowl ! All I can say about the schedule is you guys are favored by 40 points in every game. Not to many programs have week after week of those kinds of games. And playing them on ESPN2 on Tuesday doensn't say alot too

Boise -3 over Oregon is all i know

Boise has been -43.5, -38, -40.5, and -38 (average of -40).
Oregon has been -36.5, -54, -36.5, and -26.5 (average of -38.4).

Like I said... call Boise's schedule weak, but it also means Oregon's has been just as weak or weaker.

Also, with you guys playing teams with a 6-32 record against D1 teams, I almost wonder if the fact that Boise has been bigger favorites against their crappy competition than the Ducks means that the odds makers respect the Broncos more. Food for thought.

food for thought, We are #1 and your not, wouldn't life go easier for you to stop getting worked up that everyone sees this differently then you.

REDEYE · Oct 26, 2010

You can probably save yourself some money by scheduling a flight to Phoenix now for the Fiesta Bowl
