I personally don't give a shit, one way or another.....don't care for Oregon, but consider this situation happens all the time. A highly ranked opponent, but a low-profile program, get saddled with a crappy team in a crappy bowl, and plays poorly.
Happened to Cal, happens all the time if you go back through the bowl histories.
Look at PSU, ranked #3, beats OSU, and gets stuck with Florida State, ranked #22.
OSU, loses 2 games, gets highly ranked Notre Dame in a high-profile bowl.
If you were PSU, wouldn't you feel you got a crappy deal? And, just watch they'll probably come out and play lackluster and get beat by FSU.
But, put PSU against a good team, and they might play as if they had something to prove.
It's the dynamics of bowl games. If OU was ranked #5, do you think Oregon would have played the exact same game?
