If it ends up KSU/Oregon, I hope you are right, and that it's a good game.
But I don't think it will be. The slow, plodding Big 12 doesn't seem to do well against quick, up tempo teams. And Oregon is crazy quick. This is not a "spread offense" that KSU is used to defending. KSU has not seen anything remotely like what Oregon is doing.
I think Oregon would absolutely eat KSU alive. KSU's defense will be breathing fumes in the second half. If Oregon does make it to the NC game, KSU should be careful of wishing to also be there. IMO it could end up being an embarassment for KSU and the Big 12.
(Again, I hope that's not the case, though!)
