THE PAC 12 THREAD v.3

[Vitamike]

Well, I'm impressed with Mandel's logic for his pick of Oregon finishing third in the North: "Oregon's ten and eleven win season can't go on forever." Duh! He also picks a team who has lost their QB, RB and coach to win the North. Utah third in the South?

My Dad always told me to never bet against a winner or loser just because they're due. Ride those streaks until they prove you wrong.

 

[RegentDenali]

He is in LALA land for sure.

He burned a big fat dooby before doing his picks I am thinking.

Party is over. Take it like a man.

Some current odds for the 1st week PAC games. Other games are currently off on lines and O/U cause it's cupcake ville, etc....

Washington -16 vs Hawaii
USC -21 vs Fresno
WSU -8 vs Rutgers
Col -3 vs CSU
Zona -24 vs UNLV
UCLA -22 vs UVA
Cal vs NorthWestern -10

-21? I'm placing a bet on Fresno. I don't see SC covering that.


Oops was this for the Pick ems?

likely due to the 25 point win in the bowl

I don't think the party is going to "end".

I also realize that there is an ebb and flow of cfb.

Oregon won't be like those teams pre 94 very often. And UW likely won't repeat the stench of the programs recent epic failures.

A more balanced and competitive NW 4 would be welcomed by most PAC fans.

Take it like a man? When the time comes..... I will take it like a fan should. With pride in the program no matter the count in the Win / Loss column.

Just not seeing the tides turning just yet. There is a reason why 3-1st round picks came back and and passed up millions in the NFL.

Notes from Duck camp.

Royce Freeman is a freak. Oregon has a massive thunder force in the backfield.

The 6'1" 225lb true freshman is in very real competition for the #1 RB on depth chart.

 

[Olyduck]

like Ive said before this year I am not worried. next year different story.

 

[WhiteMamba]

Oly, is this the site you used to write for?

Anyways. Interesting thoughts on 2015 and moving forward. I tend to agree with the author. Not worried one bit about life after Mariota.

 

[RegentDenali]

Great bookings!


Washington will take on two big non-conference rivals in the coming years as the Huskies will play home-and-home series against both Michigan and BYU in the next decade.

The two series were announced today by UW athletic director Scott Woodward as part of a series of changes and additions to future Washington football schedules.

i cant actually read it right now. work computers are weird

 

[Olyduck]

realised it was due to twitter link so on site read it. I agree for the most part. I wasnt saying Oregon was going to struggle to make a bowl next season just looking at I wouldnt name them the North favorite as easily as in the recent years.

Yeah, how can you not be stoked to read about that. Love the Michigan games, even if they are 2020 and 2021. Petersen already involved in picking back up the tough scheduling we have come to expect. Love that shit.

I like the optimism, but sorry dude, party's over. Mandel said so and he has that uber-solid "10 and 11 win seasons can't go on forever" logic to back him up.

Seriously though, Oregon's run of 10 and 11 win seasons will eventually end, but unless they get hit with an injury bug to the wrong guys, it won't be this season.

Next year, after Mariota's gone? Maybe. This year? They win at least 10 and might run the table.

Gee tf, sounds like you're warming the platter?

 

[WhiteMamba]

Oregon made their only NT appearance with Darron Thomas. Who isn't as good as Mariota. The Ducks will be fine when Mariota is off to the NFL.

The stable of RBs and WRs will be off the charts both his year and especially in 2013.

It will help the 2015 QB quite a bit with Tyner, and two top 10 class of 2014 RBs in Freeman and James. Also possibly Marahall. WRs are deeper than ever, but are young.

Big seasons 20/21 for Pac/BigTen
UW vs Mich
OR vs Ohio St
Stan vs Northwestern
UCLA vs Rutgers


Colorado starts series in 21 with Minn

Would that be the "Natty Platter" that you're referring to?
