You can laugh all you want but what you posted has little relevance to this year. Oregon fans are keenly aware of the vicissitudes of these CFB things.
“In yet another controversial season for the BCS, No. 4 Nebraska was chosen as a national title contender despite not having played in the Big 12 championship game. The Huskers went into their last regularly scheduled game at Colorado undefeated, but were beaten by Colorado 62–36. The Huskers dropped from No. 2 to No. 6 in the wire service polls. In the ensuing days, No. 2 Florida lost to Tennessee, the Colorado Buffaloes went on to win the Big 12 Championship Game over No. 3 Texas, and in the SEC Championship Game, No. 2 Tennessee was stunned by LSU. This left Miami as the undefeated and undisputed No. 1 team in the country but a host of other teams vying for #2. The BCS computers did not take into account at which point a team's loss came during the season. There were also components for strength of schedule, quality win, and margin of victory.
With this calculation, one-loss Nebraska came out ahead of two-loss Colorado and one-loss, second-ranked Oregon.

Alabama- plays Auburn and will not be SEC or even division champion.
Georgia plays Auburn and will face LSU in title game
Ohio State plays Michigan and Penn State. If they lose to Penn State they likely won’t even play for the Big Ten title. If they win they play Minnesota
Clemson plays Wake and South Carolina
LSU pretty much has cupcakes left.
Bottom line we root for Michigan, Auburn and Penn State and take care of business.
Rooting for OSU to lose is like rooting for @EwaDawg to get a PhD in Astrophysics. Not gonna happen.
Focus your emotions on the rest and, if Oregon makes it to the Rose Bowl, prey the Bucks aren't there. They will throttle whomever shows up.

I'll wait until after the Oregon/Oregon St. game to see how things shake-up. At that point, if both Oregon and Utah each have one loss, then I'll join in on the discussion. But quite honestly, there is way too much football left to be played.
Of course

You just hate to see it. A computer nerd full of jealousy for things other people have. @haie isn’t as entertaining as Ballzsac but it’s better than nothing.

Oregon needs to start blowing teams out of the building, starting with Arizona, to gain ground on Alabama. No one respects the next three teams we play. Need to make a statement in every one. No more come from behind close wins, that doesn't cut it at this point in the season.
