[@Watermelon_Man92]

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.

@@ryanamburgy2791WHAT U TALKING ABOUT, sorry but Ohio state does not deserve to be in the top 5 after what i had to sut through couple days ago. Ohio State deserves to be ranked like 8-10 somewhere there, no shot they gonna be higher than they are right now

[@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.

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

[@smiley3554]

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

[@williamsampson4460]

I am UW Husky fan but this bowl matchup was very disrespectful to Oregon. Oregon had an enormous speed and athleticism advantage against Liberty and Oregon wins this game 10/10 times unless they have 4 or 5 turnovers. I switched to watching the LSU vs Wisconsin game after Oregon went up by 17 points. Oregon Should have played Ole Miss in the Peach Bowl. Oregon is correctly higher ranked compared to all the teams in the Cotton and Peach Bowls and only lost to UW twice because of last second field goals. The Cotton and Peach Bowl teams were pretty good this year but they all missed playing for a conference championship.

I disappointed that Fresno State didn't make to this game as we had a strong chance of getting in, but the three game losing streak sealed that. but after looking at how this game played out with liberty. I'm glad we didn't.

This matchup was bad for both teams and a terrible look for the bowl-selection-committee.... wanna bet that somebody made some money on this 'set-up'.... corruption sucks.

[@anthonyc8499]

No corruption, just bad luck. Oregon was always gonna go to the Fiesta Bowl. The highest ranked G5 champ always goes to a NY6 bowl and it was the Fiesta Bowl’s turn. It just sucked that Oregon couldn’t have played SMU.

[@willphilp2610]

@@anthonyc8499Your right, no corruption. Whats sad is that the ducks lost to the huskies twice in really close games. As a ducks fan, it was a heartbreaking end to season in that 2nd washington game but this was amazing to see Bo and Bucky and Bassa all one more time, gotta love to ducks. Its our own fault we aint in the playoffs and had to play Liberty, but it is what it is

[@anthonyc8499]

@@willphilp2610 as a UW fan, it’s not easy to root for the Ducks but I was cheering for Oregon in this one. Watching the Ducks humiliate Jerry Falwell’s boys all game long just was a real treat. Bo Nix is a class act and it’s been fun to watch him these last two years. For Nix and Oregon to send LU back home so they can ponder big boy football all year, was just the chef’s kiss to a great collegiate career.

[@eriksturdevant8589]

Props to Liberty.

[@Boatracer255]

Looking at the highlights I believe I saw all of Liberty's the first drive. It was like watching Tennessee when they ran a TD for the first drive against UGA. Ridiculous that Orgon didn't play a team in the top 10. Go UGA DAWGS
