Oregon lost more then Dixon, Stewart got hurt the same game.
Three of the top 4 WRs and their back-up RB have gone down since mid-season. Dixon was the final straw.
PAC would have had 2-3 more teams "bowl eligible" just by dropping the 9th league game.
The big question I have (getting back on topic) how could anyone argue that Georgia deserves to be in the NC game over Oklahoma? I dont see any reasonable argument that the Bulldogs could have. OU deserves to be there, won the Big 12 and took an overrated Mizzou team to the woodshed, twice.
