I think Oregon would smoke us...

If we were playing Oregon next week, I'd be scared to death.

I'd be much less afraid to play them after a 5-6 week layoff. That precision speed offense is bound to get rusty after a long layoff.

Don't forget to factor in just how distracted the Ducks will be while trying to figure out which of their 3,349 combinations of "hideous" to go with for their bowl game uniform...

Arizona controls their own destiny. If Arizona wins out, they go to the Rose Bowl. Unfortunately for them, their schedule is brutal:

Washington State (the only gimme)
@ California
Oregon
@ Arizona State
@ USC

The could finish 1-4 which would put them at 6-6 for the season.

They do control their own fate, but I see them going 2-3 or 3-2 at best. It would of helped them if they wouldn't have blown the game against Wash, but then again, they still would have to beat Oregon.

People thought Florida would smoke Iowa back in 2004. Oregon is better than that Florida team but anything can happen.

I wonder why Oregon gets no criticism for almost losing at home to Purdue early in the season.[/QUOTE]

Because they weren't in the national title hunt. If and when they are, their "body of work" will be scrutinized more closely.

THIS:

Sep 12 Purdue W 38-36

Tells me that Iowa could play with Oregon.
