Simply not true, OSU and WSU can lose their rivalry games, win the Pac12, be one of the top 5 ranked conference champions and get into the playoff pretty reasonably. Frankly, if we can’t play competitive games against the ducks, then we simply don’t belong in the cfp. WSU beat the dawgs on the road this year, so competitive games are not an unreasonable expectation. The way things are going, a one loss G5 team likely won't get in. That's how the greedy bastards running things want it. Also, the CW will likely continue to trend toward a body bag game, more, and more. The talent gap has grown substantially over the last decade. It sucks, but that's the reality. Even if a G5 team makes it, they will be a sacrifice for Georgia, or Ohio State. I would love to be competitive against the quacks. We've kind of hung on over the last couple decades. We win one occasionally, and we keep a few of em close. I just don't see that being the case anymore, unless something happens to reign in the money/NIL/portal stuff. I say all this to say, I want to play for our own trophy. The highest level of college football is steadily separating itself. We belong in the next tier. “We kind of hung on?” We’re 3-14 in the last 17. When did we hang on? Lol

He says in the same post not just something that is untrue about the G5 and the CFBPO, but which is the exact opposite of the truth. This is what happens when people let narratives run away with their ability to think.

The highest level of college football is steadily separating itself. We belong in the next tier. Fun fact: Over the past decade, even considering this past game, Oregon State is on a positive trendline in the Civil War. Oregon State lost 69-10 in 2017 for goodness sakes! And 55-15 the year after! And no one was talking about 86ing the Civil War after the 2017 and 2018 games. If the game is becoming less competitive, it either began before or has started more recently than the past decade. This is not Twitter, thank God. But these kinds of posts do not play well in the media. And I have seen a couple of these posts amplified by the media. They mostly come across as abject, craven fear. And that is not who Oregon State is. Oregon State fears no one. Schedule the best and beat the best.

Our recruiting over the last few years was really coming around. We were actually getting kids to come to Corvallis over Eugene, and other p4 programs. Being in the former Pac12 meant something. Those days are over. They are landing top 5/10 recruiting classes now. The gap is reaching the point of being ridiculous. This is not me being scared. This is me accepting reality.

Name all the players that chose us over the ucks…. There multiple players who had offers from both schools and chose us. I do not have names. I don't follow recruiting obsessively, I do recall things like that. We were actually winning recruiting battles at a high level before the Pac fell apart and bitch tits bailed.

Smails', fwiw, when I saw guys who chose us over hole and others, it was their rivals profile where it showed their offers. I don't know how accurate that is

I’ll be waiting for you to produce names. There might be 1 or 2 in the last 20 years. Start digging.

Great response…..lol Nothing like proving you’re full of s%#t, like “I’m too lazy to look it up”. And you’re welcome for the translation. Because “go dog that s%#t up” is just gibberish.

Let's just settle the recruiting/choosing argument...
First, getting an offer by no means makes a school even a possible choice. Players that receive multiple offers have some from schools they'd never consider. So, having said offer doesn't mean they chose one over the other. PLUS... schools over offer and do so to have "options" in case top choices don't pan out.
Second, if you just casually look at a recruiting site lots of kids have had offers to both Oregon and OSU. Some chose OSU, not many I can name were "prized" recruits for Oregon.
So, maybe a matter of perspective and how one sees recruiting profiles!
