BIG COLLEGE FOOTBALL DAY.

Oregon vs Florida State, in the Rose Bowl, Orange Bowl features Alabama and Ohio state. Winners play for NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!

Ducks and Tide move on. Ducks win in the end.
And you get this from a Bama fan.

Correction Bama is playing in the Sugar Bowl. Both games are on ESPN.

Gonna be some roast Duck today!

I may have to eat those words, Jim, the Ducks are running right over the top of FSU.

Man, that offensive line is something!

No problem Dan, Michigan State beat Baylor in a cliff hanger

Dan, the Pac 12 has been underrated for years. Oregon got their 1st Heisman this year. They may not win, but, there is no give up on this team.

Amazing.... Oregon is kicking Florida's ass! I hope Bama wins tonight.......will make for a great championship, and the Pack 12.....might get the attention they deserve.

Oregon kicks Florida's ass...........52 Oregon, Florida 20 with 12 minutes left in the 4th quarter.

Yes, that was something, wasn't it? Talk about a heart breaker for Baylor, they just fell apart in the last 3 minutes.

Now it's 59 to 20. I was hoping Oregon was going to win but I had no idea they were/are that good.

Changing gears to the  pros, now if only the Seattle Seahawks can play half that well at their next playoff game on the 10th.

PS: Something is wrong up here in Seattle. The sun has been out the whole day both yesterday and today.

No roast Duck, just some new Alligator boots.

Wow! Considering that Alabama and FSU are pretty similar in a lot of ways, these Ducks could roll over them too.

A most impressive demonstration of offensive power and defensive prowess.

Last game of the day coming up, what's the call?

Hey Jim! - Me and hubby watching ducks right now. Earlier we watched MI & Baylor. John is from MI.....what a thriller. Buckeyes up next (my team). We shall see.

I hope Bama gets there butt kicked......the SE has been overrated for years.....would be great to see Oregon playing Ohio state.

Oregon was amazing, on both sides of the line.

The best part of that total drubbing of Florida State was I didn't have to hear that annoying FSU fight song/hatchet thing even once after the first quarter. Go Ducks!

I am soooo happy that the Ducks beat FSU, as I am one of their "haters" since Bobby
Bowden days, but you got to admit the Seminoles handed out more gifts in that game, than Santa Claus did at Christmas, this year.  I'll sure be pulling for them against Bama, so I Hope they don't get too overconfident.
The real travesty in college football this year was that either FSU (even though undefeated with a string of narrow escapes over mediocre teams) or Ohio St., were selected for the playoffs ahead of TCU. Maybe in the future they will go to eight, as even the "experts" can't always find the best team out of a pick of four. With eight teams the chance of error on selection would be a lot less.

It's looking like "Duck Dynasty" this morning.

Ohio State vs Oregon should a great game make.



There may have been a couple "gifts" Slainte, However statistically........it was no contest.
The Ducks dominated just about every statistical category. Among the highlights:

— Oregon out-gained Arizona 627-199 in Total Yards
— Oregon had 32 first downs. Arizona had just 10
— Marcus Mariota completed 25 of 38 passes for 313 yards and 2 touchdowns, while rushing for 33 yards and 3 touchdowns
— Oregon’s Royce Freeman rushed for a game-high 114 yards on 21 carries
— Arizona starting quarterback Jesse Scroggins completed just 3 of 11 passes for 79 yards, 1 touchdown and 1 interception.

Seeing the stats vs FSU would be better!

Thanks David, my goof Didn't get to see much of the game.....clicked the wrong link.

 It's hard to accumulate yardage when you keep handing the ball to the other team.

Time of possession means nothing when the Ducks are playing, as they are practically snapping the ball for the next play before the last one is whistled dead.......
It's one of the prime reasons for their great success. I have never seen anything like it.  You have to be well coached with a lot of smart disciplined players to continually pull it off.
Playing Oregon, has got to be like waking up to a bad dream for the opposition coaches.  Their style of play messes up everybody's head on the other side.

They are SO much fun to watch!

That would have been had the Ducks beaten the Florida Gators. I don't know what we get for taking down FSU but I did see a pic on Facebook of the Fighting Duck riding Osceola's horse!

Looks like Oregon is going to get hit my some kind of sanction for the players Chant NO MEANS NO......After the game.......aimed at FSU quarterback accused of rape in 2012.....he was never charged. Hopefully, this will be handled inside the Pack 12.

Helfrich said the players would be disciplined internally.
