Hooray Oregon, Ohio State and LSU-You Had Better Lose

After a successful season gone wrong last year, no one expected the Oregon Ducks football to make any success in this year's college football season. My, how we all were surprised when the Ducks ran the tables, winning all but one game so far this year. That one loss, was a few mistakes from a win. Now Oregon is number 3 in the BCS standings. Part of the reason for the success in the transformation of Dennis Dixon. I've watched him play for Oregon the past two years and turnovers have been his woes, along with the football team. This year is another story. He has only thrown three interceptions this year, with two being in the loss they had.

This reason for all recap-Oregon is one of the best teams in the nation, and should go to the national champioship. Two teams stand in their way right now. One is Ohio State and the other is LSU. Ohio State is a pretty good team but should be ranked lower, because they have not played against any real good teams yet. LSU has had a tough schedule, but their are two reasons why they should'nt be in the championship. On is that they would have homefield advantage, literally. The other is that of the tough teams they have beat, they have only gained the lead in the last five minutes of the game, some less, on some very lucky plays. Eventually their luck will run out. To me that is not vey impressive.
