The point spread is impacted by Oregon’s loss to Georgia, which carried no relevance Saturday afternoon.
His response: “The Ducks’ rating would be at least two points higher by playing a lower level FBS team or FCS team” instead of carrying the 46-point loss to Georgia on their resume.How would a normalized Week One opponent — and presumptive victory — have impacted the point spread on Saturday?
Instead, because of a blowout loss to an opponent the likes of which no Pac-12 team has faced, the Ducks are six-point favorites. In our estimation, the difference would be justified. The Georgia result is an outlier, masking Oregon’s true value in the UCLA game specifically but also against every other team on its schedule.Opponent: vs. Eastern WashingtonLine: Oregon favored by 27.5Outcome: Oregon won by 56Opponent: at Washington StateLine: Oregon favored by 6.5Outcome: Oregon won by 3Opponent: at ArizonaLine: Oregon favored by 13.
