They may win it all. I dont see a standout defense that could give them problems. It’ll take another high octance offense to compete.

But, who knows with the 12 team playoff.

present in teams competing in the playoffs. Several teams. Yesterday's UGA v Texas SEC championship was a battle of defenses and lacked the frequent long pass touchdowns that make many games so thrilling. Both teams will be in the playoffs as will their defenses (along with Tennessee and a few others).

But, yes. OR has a very talented team this year. If their defense was even a bit stronger, they would have run over Penn.

Oregon is a very good team. I wouldn't be surprised to see them go all the way. That said, at least my Nittany Lions put up a fight!
