Lots of teams claim they won national championships before the AP/UPI started voting for champions, Stanford claimed the national championship in 1940, Tennessee claimed the national championship in1940 but according to the NCAA Minnesota was the only champion that year, who the hell knows how many others claimed the championship that year. In the early years of college football they handed out national championships like candy on Halloween.

We avenged the Arizona game . Every team is a loser if you go by how you judge things..We don't fail every year.Winning Pac 12 Championships and playoff games is more then what 99% of the teams are doing.. Injuries took us out of having a better chance of winning NC ...Ohio St was the better team also
Phony national championships have been awarded and claimed after World War ll as well, Tennessee claims a national championship for 1967 because one service said they were national champions, every credible service said USC were national champions that year. For years they use to say a team were national champions before they played their bowl game and if they lost they were still considered national champions.
What you did in the past doesn't mean shit in a gambling forum.
It's what have you done lately that means much more than the ancient Pac-8.
Football in Oregon was pretty much an afterthought until Mike Bellotti arrived.
As a USC homer, what do you have to say about the last 10 years?
If you look back not very far, USC has blown it in monumental fashion.
Their loss to Stanford as 51 point favorites is a record that will never be broken.
RX, we've got ourselves a Goddamn expert with this Wanger guy. Dumbasses like us don't understand his expert concepts like a pro should....bunch of hay-seeds here at RX. Well hells-belles, Goddamn expert...give the forum some of your expert advice.
Should we bet little teams or big teams? Should we bet little coaches or big coaches. Should we bet top ranked teams or low ranked teams..........Jesus Christ.....a bunch of OLD Alabama fuckers can't wait for your asswipe advice.

How dumb can you be,
what it means is that you FADE a team like Oregon if they every get into another NC Championship game again. There are winners and there are losers and Oregon, despite success in the regular season, has proven themselves to be LOSERS when the chips are down.
Conan, I suggest that you take a good hard look at yourself. You were the one who was telling us just how good Oregon State really was. Oregon State under Riley was just terrible since 2010, amassing a 29-33 record in that time period. Only Cal at 21-40 and Wazzu at 18-43 have a worse record. Utah and Colorado joined the Pac in 2011. Utah has a better record in that period of time and Colorado has a worse record. So since 2011, out of 12 teams, Oregon State is 9th in wins. That is terrible. You CANNOT say that Riley was good HC. The numbers are simply not there.
Not Football related but this shows how much speed Oregon has on it's roster, at this weeks NCAA Track & Field Championship Oregon's 4x100 relay team was led off by RB Tony Brooks-James and was anchored by CB/WR Charles Nelson, Devon Allen who might be the fastest player on the team wasn't able to defend his 110 hurdle title due to NCAA problems from last years failed drug test. The Oregon Track team is no slouch as they just became back to back NCAA Outdoor Champions.

Glad to see he found a place where he could be useful. From how I see things, Kiffin's offense is a so-called traditional NFL style similar to Mike Riley.
But to address your question, here's my take on Richard Mullaney...
Start here:
Brandin Cooks, Sammy Sroughter, James Rogers, Markus Wheaton. Chad Johnson, TJ Houshmandzadeh, Mike Hass
(By the way, Chad Johnson literally owns the Cincy Bengals record book for receivers.)
Not a bad list of former OS receivers to keep Mullaney company. Riley had bought him along nicely until injury cut
short his season which is why I believe Mannion's Sr. season was less spectacular than it could have been. Mullaney
still managed over 700 yards in his final effort then Riley left for greener pastures. I think the kid is going to do fine
at Alabama, especially with an OC that can appreciate his talents.
I suggest that you take a good look at yourself and ask yourself how you came to the conclusion that I had OS pegged to be a good team for the last few years. I said no such thing except that I did point out that from the turn of the millennium, they were the 3rd winningest team in the conference for about a decade. If you wish to prove otherwise have at it. I stand by what I really did say not how you and your biased brain recalls it.
I have to admit that I'm jealous over the fact that Nick Saban had the guts to go with his own instincts and knowledge of the game in landing a quality OC in the person of Lane Kiffin. Amidst all of the hoopla in Tennessee when Kiffin bolted after just a year on the job and the downright smear of his reputation without any substance to it at all seems to have clouded the issue. The guy's dream job of a lifetime opens up before his very eyes and it was offered to him. So what else could he do? What would anyone do? Unfortunately he couldn't have picked a worse time to take on the USC head coaching position. Even now that all of the sh*t is out in the open and USC's lack of culpability in the Reggie Bush fiasco is clear, there was no way he could have done anything at the time other than try to make the most of a truly messed up situation.
I think it's a good thing that we will soon see how both of PC's OC's rate as head coaches by comparison. If I read my cards right, Kiffin will come out ahead and smelling like a rose.
I remember the term "must see TV" was frequently used to describe the offense USC mustered under Kiffin's leadership in the early-mid 00's. Keep in mind that Pete Carroll was a defensive specialist and compared to the AC's on his staff, he had little to do with USC's offense back in the day when the Trojans were doling out lopsided scores vs teams like the OK Sooners (55-19) in a NC game, sweeping Auburn in a home/home pair of OOC games and in another home/home series, handing the Arkansas Razorbacks a pair of humiliating losses scoring 50 points in one game and 70 in another. That offense was of Lane Kiffin's making and to this day I can clearly remember the shine falling off of the Trojan offense when Steve Sarkisian took over the OC job when it was Kiffin's time to move on.
It strikes me as a little strange that through all of this, it came as a surprise to many who were taken back by Saban's interest in and his hiring of Lane Kiffin to be his OC at 'Bama. I have a lot of respect for a man that relies upon his own judgment and ignores the shouting and yelling from the peanut gallery in making up his own mind.
That formula has yet to make the pay grade but I bet it will. Furthermore, the Tide could use a go to possession guy like I believe they will have in Richard Mullaney. His presence alone will discourage more than a couple of SEC defenses to play an honest game and not load up the middle like they wished they could get away with without a good WR like him. And to think that the kid almost got lost in the shuffle of coaching moves this past winter. I trust the eye of Mike Riley and his ability to spot talent often that others miss. A timely move for Mullaney's sake too because Gary Andersen might some day prove to be what is needed at Oregon State, but not this year. Certainly nothing like the notoriety he might find at an elite SEC program like Alabama. Maybe he will make someone very happy in a fantasy football contest.
