Putting a Conference USA team against Oregon is borderline cruel. Liberty is a growing program that was in the FCS not that long ago. My advice to Liberty is try to schedule teams like this in September. They have a lot to look forward to but it's healthier for a program to play these teams in the regular season as opposed to suddenly being exposed to them in January.

[@dacypher22]

My thoughts exactly. I have no idea what deals happened behind the scenes to throw Liberty into a bowl game against a top 10 team like this. It isn't a good thing for Liberty's program (barring them getting a huge payday from this, which is possible) and it doesn't make for an exciting game for the viewers.

Oregon is just too good man. They have 2 losses, but by a combined 6 points against a team in the national championship.

[@GoatedAtNFS]

the 12 team playoff next year will prove its flaw immediately and this is part of it. G5 bids shouldn’t be automatic, Tulane last year was a legit top 12 team. Liberty was 23rd. the talent gap is also gonna be an issue with the G5 to P5 and automatic conference winners….if we include the Pac-12 which will be Oregon State and Washington State…who will be playing 5 P5, 6 G5, and 1 FCS….to be one of them

Other than this year it’s been the American Conference getting the bid every year since 2013 or so. American is just about as good as the ACC or slightly below them. C-USA, Sunbelt, and Mountain West are not even close to that level.

[@BOOGiNS]

@@ryanamburgy2791 there's no way. If Alabama loses to Michigan, because they lost to Texas, they'll be ranked below Texas and Michigan. If Washington beats Texas, then Oregon will be ranked above Texas depending on the margin of victory. Cause Oregon only lost two games by a total of 6points to Washington. Also due to their replacement starters next season. The order is going to go : 1. Georgia 2. Oregon 3. Michigan 4. Texas 5. Alabama I'm not even gonna acknowledge idiocy of the Ohio State comment. They'll be lucky to be ranked in the top 10 with no QB, WR or RB.

LU transmission blew 1st QT, good way to open up the game but allowing the Ducks to get 5th gear was dangerous. Great game congratulations to the Ducks

It’s like they booked this matchup expecting a lot of Oregon players to opt out just like FSU and OSU.

which is crazy because I think only like 5 players opted out and 3 of them were to get ready fore the draft.
