If OSU loses the B1G Conference CG they could drop to the 6th seed and be replaced by Notre Dame.

This question has been rattling around in my head for a while. As the B1G championship and playoffs approach us, I have a strong feeling FGs are going to come into play big time. As a long time fan, my anxiety level always increases a bit when the field goal unit comes out. I've been more confident with Sappington this year and about dropped dead seeing a 51 yarder that probably would've been good from 60 Boyle drilled at the beginning of the year. It still makes me nervous though! I hope DL has the confidence necessary to put 3 on the board and take points this playoff season. I think every point will be crucial! I think it's very possible it could be a final drive decision to boot! What do y'all think? Can you give me a reason to be less anxious!

Please stop giving osu the respect by adding the "t" to osu. Equate them to all the other osu's around the country.

I'm thankful for Jordan, Joey, Anthony, and even Aaron. I enjoy their weekly insights on Our Beloved Ducks!

Ducks didn't fake injuries, like 11, of the 12 teams in the Pac. Remember that game where the Fuskies sent out their kick return guy in late and had him lay down in the puke, purple area of the endzone to try and fool OBD? They were called for what again?...that would be the definition of creating an unfair advantage (aka cheating.)

Yesterday's win over No.20 Texas A & M was a great Quad 1 win for the Ducks. Now they face San Diego State, a surprising winner over Altman's former team, Creighton. A few notes, Oregon is averaging 9.3 offensive rebounds a game, SDSU, 7.8. 3 point shooting has SDSU 39%, the Ducks are at 32%. It will be radio for this one unless you have TNT-MAX. Go Ducks!

Thank you, Charles. You've done something great here. Much appreciation to you.

Yes, I'm very glad for Phil. Also, if you're looking for a great book to read over the holidays, I cannot recommend Phil's book 'Shoe Dog' enough. I've read it twice, my wife read it, and our sons as well. It's really a treat. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

I might add Charles has made it an even safer forum. The firewall he created has made it even harder for spam to get through. Also those with little else to do other than cause trouble seem less likely to post recently. This has all happened because Charles has taken on more responsibility, while enhancing this site. We may be thinking about our Ducks and the games ahead, but behind the scenes there is someone making FishDuck better every day. David thank you so much for shedding light on how great this site it. I would add a little more insight into how this site doesn't just happen. Of course nothing helps truly understand how the behind the scenes stuff just happens and I am sure how Charles feels sometimes better than a video. I also ask all those who think this all just magically just happens to give, thanks, and donate to FishDuck.

I would not want Ewers! Please, please, no!!

Especially when it's a team from your own conference. Alabama v Clemson was a battle between the best 2 teams. But there was definitely fatigue forming from seeing it again and again. We know that Entertainment is a huge part of sports now, sometimes to its detriment. "Godfather lll" is awful, so would be "Duckeye 3"

I'm thankful every day. I look forward to reading every article and post. When I'm not here, I'm thinking about how great it will be to get back and catch up. I know that we've all been at other Forums and know that it's not the same at all. At FishDuck, we are free to post our opinion, and not worry about a rude, sometimes angry or hurtful response. We're all here together, basking in our No.1 Ducks, and the basketball teams are doing great too! QUACK!

Yes, I am thankful for Charles and the Fishduck community. (So is my wife!) Thanks for the reminder David to hit that "donate" button. Go Ducks! Brutalize the doggies!

David, this FishDuck Forum greyheard is thankful for the entire community that comes to this site to share. Thankful for you and all the wonderful writers who create and present your thoughts to us. Thanks to the moderaters who help keep the Forum the safe haven for us to post our comments. Thank you to those who search out and post everything Duck. And to those members who create their own ponder point topics. This is a one of a kind safe Forum that Charles has created for us all. He birthed, nurtured, loved and protected his baby every step of the way. Well dpne and thank you Charles....... Go Ducks!

Easy to say, but beating the No. 2 team three times is a ridiculous hurdle for any team to perform.

To echo Nevada Dog, I agree. We had two opportunities to pull away from the Buckeyes each half and failed. They blew their chance late. The teams are too even to think either can take two in a row, much less three. I've said it before, I'll say it again. It's damn difficult to go 16-0. A loss might hurt in the next two weeks, but it won't be fatal. By the way, the odds are some 290 to one going 16-0. 8 to one to defeat a team three times in the same season. So... If we defeat the in Indianapolis, it better be convincing, because otherwise we ALL with loathe that third matchup( we will anyway, no matter what). I personally think it's possible to truly dominate the Ohio State, but talk about playing a flawless game! Absolutely everything would have to go out way. I want that conference title. But I won't be disappointed with a loss next week. Because I don't think they can beat us twice.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and it is a time to be thankful for so many things. Personally, I am thankful for this site, FishDuck.com, and the FishDuck Forum as it has become a wonderful outlet for me to talk all things Ducks with a group of people who are polite, and have their own thoughts on Our Beloved Ducks.

If there is blame to be accorded for the arrangement of seeded teams in the bracket, please put it where it belongs. The conferences wrote the committee protocol. The conferences decided there would be 12 teams in the playoff. The conferences determined that the top four conference champions would have a first round bye. And who has the loudest voices among the conferences? Yes, the B1G and the SEC. As in the old comic strip Pogo, “we have met the enemy and it is us!” Conspiracy theorize all you like, but the dirty hands in this system are as much Oregon, Ohio State, Penn State, Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss . . . , as anyone. Read PittDuck’s comment above. All the Ducks need to do is win their games. If they are truly the best team in the country that will happen.

In order to get a top four seed the school must be its conference champion. Notre Dame’s ceiling is a fifth seed.

Let me state up front that I'm behind the Ducks 110% in the upcoming B1G Championship Game. But I won't be surprised if OSU wins this game. In fact, I predicted such a reversal earlier in the year. Here's why. Oregon has not played a truly good team away from Autzen this year and it is not crystal clear how they will handle adversity away from home. I'm certainly not expecting them to fold, only that we can't know for certain how they will respond to a situation they are yet to face this year. Sorry to be a bit of a cautionary Cus at this time of rejoicing among festive OBD fans, but just thought I should point out something that is very uncertain as far as I am concerned. And even were the Ducks to lose, they'd still be the number 5 seed, a position that many analysts say is just about as good as having a bye in the format we will be playing under for this and next season until adjustments are made. Imagine some poor 12 seed having to play in a wild playoff atmosphere at Autzen!

I always wondered what happened to Ruthie.....retired, huh? Interesting.....that dawg was as rabid as they come.

Awesome!! Go Ducks!!!

Honest playoff scenario question I haven't yet found an answer for, so I'm polling the audience. What is Notre Dame's (or any other independent) playoff seeding ceiling? Say Notre Dame is ranked #2 in both polls and the playoff committee also ranks Notre Dame in the same #2 position. Is there any scenario where Notre Dame can secure a top 4 seed and a first round bye? Or is winning a conference title a MUST to get a first round bye?

Its kinda funny because the Seattle area has 9 times the billionaires as Oregon does.

Staying healthy makes a difference!
