Party in Salt Lake!
David Shaw chooses to throw on 3rd and 2, as well as 4th and 2 - both times incomplete for the loss.

Just another excuse to slip Ohio St. into the B(C)S championship game vs. Alabama instead of some shitty Northwest team like UO. It's all about TV ratings folks and Ohio St. generates more than Oregon.
BTW, despite being a Wazzu and Husky fan I sincerely hope I'm wrong and the Ducks are in the "championship game" (in quotes cuz it ain't no real championship, it's mythical without a playoff and has been since the implementation of this bullshit, SEC-centric system) because I would LOVE to see a NW team win a mythical championship.
Man am I looking forward to the playoffs next year. No more Notre Dame crap like last year when they would've been soundly drilled in the semis.

As far as remaining schedules go Oregon doesn't need to worry, Stanford will still be ranked higher than any team Ohio state plays from here on

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see Clemson leap frog Oregon in the polls if they both go undefeated.
Not going to happen. Every week the Ducks have been pulling closer to Alabama and further away from whoever is at #3. If the Ducks go undefeated, they're in. Not an ounce of doubt in my mind.

I said I wouldn't be surprised to see it happen, not that it will happen or that I expect it to happen. I only brought up Clemson because I keep seeing people talk about Ohio St as a threat to Oregon, but it seems like everyone is forgetting about Clemson and I think they are more of a threat than Ohio St is.
