> The Ducks are for real. Remember that they have played their last four games without their best rusher. I don’t know if they’re better than Bama or FSU, but I hope we can find out. In addition to Stanford and UCLA in their next two games, they have a very tough Oregon State (which may be ranked tomorrow) as their final regular season game.

Ahem. Oregon State is ranked 25th in the new BCS standings. So the Ducks have three ranked teams yet to play in the regular season, and almost certainly a fourth in the Pac12 Championship game. FSU has just one ranked team left in the regular season.

I don’t see how the Ducks aren’t in the top two, if they win out.

Well I got the top to right for the BCS standings, anyway.
