Oregon is the final game on the schedule. That’s right. Oregon. Can they beat the Ducks and play spoiler again? It’s possible, but not likely.

Oregon State Beavers 5-6 (2-6)

Last week: Lost to Washington Huskies 37-13
Last rank: 7


We were ready to count out the Oregon State Beavers for losing to Washington State. Then we renewed our faith in them for beating Arizona State. Now, we’re done with them after a blowout loss to Washington.

This team is too inconsistent for our liking. Or maybe it’s just that much better at home than on the road.

Sean Mannion is still a good quarterback but appears to only feed off of his home crowd, not his road crowd. And with no running game or great defense, he is all they have. Now, a bad loss to Washington has this team desperately fighting to be bowl eligible, and the Beavers don’t have nearly as easy of a road as the Golden Bears do coming up.

Oregon is the final game on the schedule. That’s right. Oregon. Can they beat the Ducks and play spoiler again? It’s possible, but not likely.
