Joining us now on the digital communication smarter play hotline is made it covers college football for the San Jose Mercury News Jon -- John. Excellent thank you for joining snow where do you have -- ranked this week.
I have organ for. Tournament people from -- which is west -- that we for. Once. Well I try to. Paid much attention mature way possible to. Strength of schedule you know who you play where you play -- end. -- schedules not been very impressive and not necessarily through any fault of -- but. It will -- one team that has a winning record. So far so I have them behind other teams that has has played and beaten.
So how do you then as a as a voter balance what you just point down the strength of schedule what you have tangible on paper what teams have done. And then balance that with that you know the eyeball test what you've seen from the team.
You know that that's -- You don't get to see every team every week so if you -- a lot on odd ball there's going to be -- natural. I think biased towards change Seymour often. You know. Just look at Oregon that they should -- the reason I. For quite frankly because it looks so good they hadn't been as impressive as that probably. Tenth or twelfth with only one victory over team with a winning record. So that. As part of the problem I have -- that -- you know beating usually what was -- hit it ten or stop the this very impressive win the same time usually it lost 35 not -- out scampered lost 357 council not like England had a good. -- To date by other teams and I -- Portland State terrible in Mexico's terrible and -- he's what two and five. And the ducks also have played you know that -- or ten games in. Because of the computer models schedule. Three -- those -- basically the worst in Italy.
Now that their -- state the schedule will improve. Mean since the media schedule is -- Grumman and that'll remedy itself but (%expletive) going ahead do you believe in new York and ducks do you think this is a team that its its championship caliber.
National picture Albert --
exhibition -- yeah they have a good shot you know just like I think it would best in the country we're gonna stick to sell. All Woolsey -- outbreak -- actually it's a one out you know. Does very ten teams that that would have a Oguchi extra two point the national title this point.
They cover scampering cal down there -- Stanford's played both USC and -- When you look at the USC organ match up having seen both of them up close like that what EC had to see that matchup.
I see the over. What -- Lot of that -- Whatever that over under is okay. Studio over you know actually he has got it could give front -- and an organ -- obviously but they have got. Don't vote on all. And partly. Is a much better quarterback English last year and he moves better control on the line. And Robert Wood that's receiver to come. Out walk and they are very good on offense and they'll score auto market.
And the ducks squad actually conspiracies. Not great talent on defense I think it'll be an issue of our. Turnovers you know it's gonna probably --
Maybe last election wins navy. Course in in the fourth quarter but actually it. I think it if she doesn't throw the ball over it was a double fire.
Yeah that's when I look at this the and I've watched him three times during a half times I've watched USC play this year and in the wanting their only six out to me. That that. I think organs gonna win I think they're gonna win going away comfortably as the USC's struggles and space they're not a great tackling team. And when you spread them out they really struggle with that MEM when you have a hard time covering Washington and Hawaii we TC organ.
Well yet and -- time coverage scampered to but. -- stop them also you know what works both ways in. Frankly I I don't think organized they have not been devastating on the road at least. He told the Washington State game they were good they can look at Duke hardly. Looked overwhelming and instantly to issue game. An issue that great good. -- seven turnovers by issues that that -- gone. A -- like get I'd say it became and Eugene I would agree with you but I think. In LA. On the grass. I would -- particularly pretty close.
John Wheeler writes for the San Jose making -- and a few minutes or so is appreciated. It.
