Utah is favored to beat Oregon this weekend

[WNY_FOOTBALL_DUDE]

I am a bit shocked, but the line is -3 for Utah. The ESPN predictor has the Utes with a 61% of winning.

Utah's a good team and Rice-Eccles is a tough place to play in November.

Take the OOC games out of the picture because Utah was playing the wrong QB. During PAC 12 play, the two teams are very similar statistically. Since the game is at Utah, they're a slight favorite. It's not that surprising.

It's a shame for Utah. If they started Rising from the beginning, they are probably 9-1 and would be in the thick of the playoff conversation.

Let's hope.

but who knows, maybe the AP and CFP committee will ignore this loss as well........

That is the crazy part, the team voted Rising as captain, and Whittingham still started the other guy.

Just making an observation based on the facts that losses are held against some teams and ignored for others.........

Bama is another one who benefits from this sometimes.

You want the losses to be the most important statistic, while ignoring the wins.

It's pretty transparent why.

I agree - a home loss should weigh much heavier than what the committee hands out.

 

[PIBuckeye]

Losing to currently ranked #85 Stanford (3-7) should have more weight to it than losing by one score to the #3 ranked team.......

Nah, you didn't lose to the #3 team...you lost to the team that lost to the #85 team

The committee has Oregon over Ohio State because they have the same record and Oregon beat them in Columbus without their best player.

Continue to cry about it though

You got rolled at home by that #3 team.

Dude. step into reality.

Enjoy your free pass on your loss........ to a 3-7 team.......

No one cares about your garbage time TDs. Oregon never trailed. Buckeyes were so bad they had to change who called plays after the game.

The only thing worse than losing to a 3-7 team...is losing (at home) to a team who lost to a 3-7 team.

Weak

Weak

Yes, losing to that team at home would be incredibly weak.

I’m glad OSU didn’t lose to such a crappy team.

This isn’t 7 degrees to Kevin bacon
