  The Oregon beat-downs were amazing, but I don’t think they were that good a team. When was the last time we beat a really good team?

  Alabama in the 2009 Sugar Bowl.

  That one USC team ended being pretty good.
  That’s the only argument besides Alabama.

  Probably in 2013 when we ruined Stanford’s season. They were ranked 5 and we just broke them for the rest of the year.
  
  After that ya pre 2010 if your standard is high enough. We arguably beat good teams every year, it’s just a matter of HOW good you’re talking here.

  You can’t retro actively make the Oregon wins bad just because you feel bad after a loss

  Michigan 2015 comes to mind. I thought this Florida game had a lot of similarities to that one. Unfortunately, we didn’t win this time.

  I find it interesting that 2021 Oregon doesn’t count as a very good to great team. 9-1 and ranked #4 before the first game. 10-2 and ranked #10 before the CCG.
  
  It almost sounds like the last time Utah beat a very good to great team would be never since the other team couldn’t be at least very good if Utah beat them?
