Top 12 NON conference games

[NDHoosier101]

That could be true. Beating top 20 teams isn't easy. It's been what 3 years since Ohio State has done it?

 

[ralphiewvu]

Well, I must say I give this list a 1 out of 10.

It looks more like a top Notre Dame games this season, and a few others too. Boise St vs Ole Miss makes this list?

You have a one week bet going, already

So then didn't Kelly win with Bellotti recruits?

USC will be a doormat for years to come. Still LOLing over getting bitchslapped by GaTech in a bowl game.

Have your little laugh now but get ready see your team turn back into USC's little bitch, AGAIN. Then we will see who's laughing

USC won one less game than oregon last year with three head coaches and still under sanctions. So if that's doormat I can't wait for USC to get back to where it belongs at the top of the PAC. With USC sitting in the corner on probation with it's hands tied behind it's back Oregon managed to win it's one (uno) Rose Bowl in a hundred years and no NCs .In comparison USC won four Rose bowls in the eight years prior to oregon winning it's first since 1917 . Hope you had fun duckies because USC will be getting it's full class this year. Oh and thanks for referencing a bowl game from the 2012 season. Way to stay current.

THEE vs VT didnt make the list?

Is the Sparty vs Ducks game in Primetime?

Way to Stay current - Oregon won the Fiesta Bowl because the NC game was at the Rose. Pretty sure UO wins the Rose that year. Since 1994 UO is 9-6 against USC is that current enough for ya? Before that of course USC domination. Sure hope we both make it to the PAC Championship, banter with SC fans is always a treat.

Pretty sure Oregon has won one Rose Bowl since 1917. Whats your excuse for eighty something years of sucking?

Money it's that simple - way to be current. Capping of 85 scholarships also helped. It's nice you have a little skip in your step and think you are relevent in the PAC again. Good luck this year.

Surprised me too.

Scholarship cap? LOL. So in the 70s till the 90s the cap of 95 prevented Oregon from being any good (mind you everyone had the same cap) and since the 90s when it was brought down to 85 Oregon has gone buck wild and won One Rose Bowl in the twenty or so years it's been there? That's the reason? Twenty years of 85 scholly limit and thats why Oregon hasn't won anything. And you talk about being relevant? If you won the next 20 Rose Bowls you'd still be behind USC. Oregon has been a top team in the past six or so years for sure but in my opinion just didn't break through. I think the window might have closed. Stanford seems to have your number.

And UCLA has yours...

 

[socaljim242]

Ahhhh yes. But here's the thing (drum roll). USC has actually had the highs in recent times (Rose Bowls- NCs) that outweigh the lows. Oregon talked the talk but hasn't walked the walk. You keep going to the prom but you never get the prom queen.

Obviously you don't follow it that close. Since the 85 scholly cap Oregon has 6 PAC Championships. Pretty sure they would have won the Rose when they went to the BCS Championship. You like to use the Rose Bowl because it favors your point. Two years Oregon won the PAC they didn't go to the Rose because of the BCS structure. They would have been favored in both games. You are aggressive because you feel threatened, just typical human nature. While you are predicted to be 3rd in the PAC South - UO is 3rd in the entire country. Have a great season.

[BoiseStateFan27]

According to Lindy's

1 Michigan State @ Oregon Sept 6 - great game, an absolute must watch

2 Wisconsin vs LSU (Houston) Aug 30 - A very good game, another must watch

3 Michigan @ Notre Dame Sept 6 - last game between the two for a while, not sure if Michigan will be very good , they do give Notre Dame a tough time though, likely a watch after MSU/Oregon

4 Oklahoma State vs Florida State (Arlington) Aug 30 - Oklahoma State might not be able to compete, but still nice to see a game like this.

5 Auburn @ Kansas State Sept 18 - Great game for a Thursday night, must watch.

6 UCLA vs Texas (Arlington) Sept 13 - This one intrigues me, I feel like Texas might have a randomly good performance in this one.

7 Florida @ Florida State Nov 29 - huh?? This is a blowout

8 Stanford @ Notre Dame Oct 4 - Good one here

9 Notre Dame @ Florid State Oct 18 - solid game

10 Clemson @ Georgia Aug 30 - Was good last year, some gone from both offenses, still a good watch though

11 Notre Dame @USC Nov 29 - alright game

12 Boise State @ Ole Miss Aug 28- Good one here, we'll make it interesting then lose because of the Hedrick turnover
