The CheckerBoard

Oregon isn't playing in the National Championship - Alabama and Notre Dame are. Oregon is playing Kansas State and I can't really see them blowing Oregon out. Should be a good game.

Besides that, though, it won't really matter if there recruiting is shaky. Most of those kids will be playing in another three years.

Unless they get a coach with an entirely new system then they should still have a veteran crew. It all depends on who they get to coach if he does leave. If they do a promotion of whomever the offensive coordinator is it would still mean a lot of trouble.

Would make the game a lot more interesting.
