Huge win for the conference if Oregon can knock off Auburn.

Cal beats Ole Miss and Oregon loses to Auburn

[UteThunder]

Those are the two toughest ones to pick. I’m expecting Cal to be really good this year, but traveling from the Pacific Coast down to Dixie is going to be tough. If this was last year’s Auburn and Oregon teams, I would pick the Tigers but I think Auburn takes a small step back this year while Oregon takes a small step forward – Ducks in a nail biter.

I guess we’re agreeing on a lot today.  Tigers lost Jarrett Stidham at QB, Baylor transfer who was a stud.  Not too familiar with their defense, but they didn’t have the best offensive year in 2018, and that was with Stidham.  Either going to be close with the Ducks or the Tiger’s are getting blown out because they’re breaking in a new QB.  I don’t think they’re going to do very well this year.

I seriously don’t know why the Ducks get some much respect.  They have proven nothing lately and all they seem to have is a QB who everyone “expects” to be great, but hasn’t been yet.

 

[Chidojuan]

True, but at the moment, Auburn doesn’t look so great either.  I don’t think Oregon winning is going to be that big of a deal, because Auburn looks like an 8-5 team at best to me.  It’s just the Mighty SEC VS. the Pac-12.  I don’t care a lot about conference perception, but I do hate how much the SEC is touted for it’s greatness when it’s not much better than the ACC one trick pony.

Oregon is @ Auburn.

Oregon 2-1

Oregon St 1-2

Stanford 3-0 (think they win the North)

Wazzu 2-1 loss @ Ol Miss

Cal 3-0

UW 3-0

[UteThunder]

Oregon vs Auburn is a neutral site game in Jerry World. Closer to Auburn than Oregon, but it is not at Auburn.

Wazzu doesn’t play Ole Miss.
