College Football Week 11: Indiana is playing for a Big Ten title. In football.

Yeah, he was on the podium postgame. Not sure who's on the podium yet Tuesday, but I assume if he's not, we'll ask for him after practice Tuesday night.

 

one thing in the ducks' favor is that the pac-12 championship game will be played at the team's field with the best conference record. autzen is a tough place to play.

 

I know this is a huge what if, but the Pac-12 title game is slated for Nov. 30. Oregon State, though, plays Nicholls State on Dec. 1 because a hurricane postponed the game earlier in the season. What if OSU wins the North? I'm assuming the Pac-12 will reschedule the title game, right? Seems weird they wouldn't have done that already.

 

Pretty sure OSU can't win the North. They have two losses, and the only way Stanford and Oregon can also finish with two is if Stanford beats Oregon, in which case Stanford would be 2-0 in the head-to-head pool.

 

At the time of postponement, it was agreed the game would be cancelled if OSU won its division.

 

OK, crisis averted.

 

Excellent points, but it sort of shows what the expectations the Beavers had of winning their division.

By the same taken, maybe the Penn State-Ohio State game should have been scheduled for Jan. 1 since both teams are free that day.

 

Or if Nicholls made the FCS playoffs.

 

Stanford, OSU and Oregon can all still finish 7-2. Stanford would win the tie-breaker because, as LTL said, for that to happen Stanford will have defeated OSU and Oregon.

 

do you really think stanford beats oregon?

 

I think Stanford has a remote shot. If Oregon's Dline is still all injured, that Cardinal power running game can control the clock and wear down Oregon. If Stanford gets a turnover or two, it could be interesting.

 

oregon's d-line is supposed to be back to near full strength next week. it's more worried about its defensive backfield right now.

i wouldn't go betting the house on the cardinal on the spread.
