Note on Oklahoma St. beating Oregon

[Purplehorn3]

Our win versus Ohio State somewhat overshadowed this major upset.

 

Oklahoma State has 15 portal transfers from North Texas.  In essence North Texas defeated Oregon.  Think about it.

Maybe team cohesiveness is more valuable than a hodge podge of transfers every season. The irony is that Oklahoma State is a team full of transfers....all from one program.

Man all the love and attention Oregon got and how amazing their team is. To lose to Okie State is pretty pathetic. Considering all the amazing talent they have (not sarcasm, they have really good players).

You look at Oregon and tOSU, and they have a series of play-ins the rest of the way.

Oregon has (i) USC on the road, (ii) tOSU on the road, and (iii) Michigan at home.

tOSU has (i) Indiana on the road, (ii) USC on the road, (iii) Oregon at home, and (iv) Michigan at home.  

Both can still get in, but you want to be the team with the better record in common games.

Gonna be really interesting to see how Oregon responds going forward. I watched almost the entire Oregon-OKST game and the score felt a lot closer than the game was. OKST should've won by more and it was kinda surprising they didn't. Piss poor effort from Oregon players on a fair amount of plays as well. And the Oregon staff had circles coached around them. If you told me the entire program (players and staff included) went out drinking the night before in Stillwater I'd believe you because that's how bad Oregon was all around. Just bad. Really bad

Really impressive for the new coach to take a handful of guys from his successful North Texas team to okie state that had a terrible year last year and in game 2 top one of the top programs in college football with much deeper pockets, and a supposedly top qb pick in next years draft. 
 

hats off to them for sure but gah dang that makes Lanning and Oregon players look really bad for letting that game of all games upset them. 
 

gotta love college football

Penn State is very similar in that the majority of their transfers came from Iowa State with their head coach. Helps bringing a solid core of guys over that are familiar with your coaching philosophy and scheme.

After seeing Cignetti make the playoffs and then when a title with essentially JMU players and the right portal adds it isn't that crazy honestly.

This was what happened when Cig left JMU for Indiana.
