PrintAs they begin preparations for the Civil War for the Roses on Dec. 3, both the state of Oregon teams climbed in the rankings.
Their fourth consecutive win vaulted Oregon St. (8-3, 6-2) well into the top 20 in this week's polls. The Beavers are up to 18th. in the Coaches' Poll, and 16th. in the AP poll.
The Pac-10 leading Oregon Ducks (9-2, 7-1) used their double overtime road win over Arizona to move into the tenth slot in both polls.
California's win in "The Big Game" at Stanford elevated the Golden Bears to 21st. in the AP poll, while the USC Trojans are the other Pac-10 team ranked, 24th. in the AP poll and 22nd. in the Coaches' Poll.
Florida remains #1 in both polls, and Cincinnati is #5, one slot ahead of Boise St. in both polls.

We should start calling the Civil War the Big Game
Since it’s the biggest rivalry that has meant anything as of recent.
Thursday, December 3rd. Autzen Stadium. Eugene, OR. CIVIL WAR FOR THE ROSES! Game on. GO BEAVS!
What you should do
Is be proud of the fact that the PAC-10’s two premier academic institutions are able to compete in a rivalry game worthy of its name and recognition, to make up for the fact that a rivalry of no significance has to take exist in the state of Oregon because two inferior institutions of higher learning had to be built there.

The irony of this paragraph
Is that your higher learning sentences still make no sense. Enjoy your underachieving, Cal

"...a rivalry of no significance..." ?
Other than being the Pac-10 Championship game, and having direct bearing on the Rose Bowl at least half the time in the last decade, something not seen in “The Moderate Sized Game” during that time.
Perhaps that attitude is a telling glimpse as to why “The Moderate Sized Game” is what it is.

Go Beavs!
You going there?
Guess the high of playing for the ax and winning the “stare down” rivalry for the sake of “saving” our season hasn’t worn down yet. Give that Cal intellectual time to sober up AndyPanda then ask your question.
Oh, and glad that the superior Californieee education has paid off and they can at least proofread themselves. By the way most of the other Cal fans have a bit more class.

Yes they do
But they can also enjoy those 30% tuition increase. California: where good students go to die
