(13-0) Oregon “Rewarded” With A Truly Tough “Path”

Only Oregon went unbeaten, (13-0), during the ’24 college pig “reg”) and their “reward” in the half of 24/(12) teams, (far too many), playoff is a really tough path, in a bid for their first title.

Ten years ago they?Oregon were “faves” “going into the first 4 teams ‘off and reached the final, only to lose to an Ohio State team, led by Ez Elliott, that in my and many other’s opinions, did not belong in the ‘off.

Now Ohio State, beaten as a near 3 TD “fave” vs Michigan in its final “reg” game is over a TD favorite vs Tennessee in a home first round tilt, with the winner to face the Ducks (Oregon) in a playoffs “quarter.”

The winner of Ohio State/Tennessee vs Oregon would then, somewhat likely meet 5th seed, Texas, which is in a bracket first vs Clemson, and that winner faces 4th seed, Arizona State.

My point is Oregon likely will have two really tough opponents, as in this “tournament,” they do not re seed and you know who (hint in these times with Soto/Boras greed, a similar named Paris church has been refurbished) looms, especially if second seed Georgia, the ’21 and ’22 title winner and ’23 “reg” unbeaten but no playoff appearance, is sans injured quarterback, Beck in a likely “quarter” vs them.

All four home teams in the first round are at least TD favorites, enough said!!

85 years ago, known as the “Webfoots,” Oregon won the first NCAA Basketball Tournament, which to this point, is their lone basketball or football crown.

Maybe 10 years after losing in the first 4 team ‘off, they will finally win another crown but thanks to a ridiculous bracket, a tough task gets tougher for el Ducks, again the lone unbeaten team.

Oh and in that first hoops title tilt, Oregon faced, you guessed it, Ohio State.
