I write this partially in response to a recent fanpost entitled "From a man who has been there..." which I appreciated greatly. All thanks go to davereg412).

I'm not saying ASU is a trap game that we should get overly concerned about. Really Oregon should never have any trap games as long as Chip is at the head coaching position.  However, am I the only one who is getting tired of hearing about how great our offense is (and lately even the defense)? We all know how potent our offense is, and lately we've seen amazing examples of this that may have blurred our vision a little bit. Now we've all heard about the latest competition hasn't been very strong so that doesn't need to be brought up again but with all the talk about leading the country in several categories and being on track to break several records I think we need to make sure we have perspective. If the critics and pollsters get used to seeing huge numbers like this, then we have less and less room to struggle in games. If the games start getting closer (and they will) the Ducks might start losing credibility for not posting 40 or 50+ points or running for over 300 yards. Do you think this could affect being considered for a NC if we are lucky enough to run the table? Could we get jumped over by say Oklahoma if our MOV's start decreasing? Just wondering what your thoughts are.
