Where are the pro-Oregon folks now? Is this a sign of a weaker conference(Pac 10), or just a sign of an overrated Oregon team?

Oregon is probably slightly overrated, and oklaoma is probably underrated. I'd say they're probably equal, maybe oklahoma a little better with everyone healthy, and oklahoma just matches up well.

this game is a sign of a good oregon team facing a well coached oklahoma team that has become better with every game played and is actually healthy for the last game of the season. the sooners are dangerous.

this game is far from over though.

FWIW, the bad start was due to a lot of mishaps...the back-up to jason white that took ALL the snaps when white sat transferred to SFA (stephen f. austin in nacodoches, texas) before the year which led the sooners to start a QB with zero experience...then they had tons of injuries/transfers/fails amongst their defensive and offensive line before the season which hurt. so when the season started their team was in shambles, i think this season really speaks a lot for stoops no matter the outcome of this game.

I am a Ducks fan (live here in Eugene), but I have not really been high on them all year. The Pac-10 basically blows.

But, go ducks, they're driving now.
