ESPN’s SP+ rankings take factors into account such as players retuning to a team, how that team did in recent years, their recruiting rankings, and how much their coaching staff changed. Oregon is ranked as the second high team, only being behind the Ohio State Buckeyes.

11-1, perhaps. But playing 8 straight games against Big Ten opposition and a double west to east yo-yo in November gives me pause. On November 7th in Columbus, I expect a 9 AM body clock time kick off. And Ohio State has many talented players on the O-side of the ball back. The weather in East Lansing, Michigan, on November 21st could be a great equalizer. OBD returns from Michigan State to play a UW team coming off a game in Seattle vs. Indiana. UW could be coming to Autzen with a victory over Cig and the Hoosiers and a chance for a spot in the playoff field. Indiana will not be an easy out, but the game is being played in the Pacific time zone, not the Eastern time zone. A plus for UW. Will the SC D step up under Gary Patterson? The offense will score points behind the now-experienced QB Maiava. I think the Week 4 game at SC is a defining moment for SC football under Lincoln Riley, and the Trojans and their fans will be geeked for this game. If you asked Trojan fans if they'd rather beat Oregon in Week 4 or Ohio State in Week 9, I think the majority would take a win over the Ducks, not the Bucks. SC has the easier early schedule. Three G6 opponents at home without one of the G6 teams being as dangerous as Boise State. SC does have to travel to Rutgers the week before the Oregon game, but I'll take that game over having to play at Oklahoma State in Week 2 with the Cowboys bringing a new HC, a QB, Drew Mestemaker, who led the nation in passing last season, and an improved roster including the Mestermaker's top receivers and running backs, and three players who started in front of Mestemaker on the North Texas O-line. After last season's pounding, OK State fans will be out to pluck Duck feathers, in a stadium that is loud with the crowd right on top of the visiting team's bench. Oregon also gets another short end of the scheduling stick, having to play Nebraska in Eugene before traveling to play Illinois in Week 9, with the Illini off the week before Oregon's visit. The Oregon O-line had lapses last season, but it was a Joe Moore Award finalist. Will three new starters on the O-line come through? Will the new OC and DC pan out? Will Dante be better prepared to play under physical and mental pressure? In this NIL era, the roster depth, even on Blue Chip Roster teams like OBD, will be tested by the worst part of the game, injuries. Of course, I hope you are correct in your 11-1 or better call, but there are too many questions IMO to bet the Over 10.5. Many of the 2026-27 playoff contenders have easier schedules than Oregon, and the schedule is harder next season. Gulp. Thanks for the article, and Go Ducks!

I'm not sure how they could have used him more while also distributing the ball to other playmakers. He did a ton of blocking which is using him as well. But if you add touches to one player who do you take them away from?

When I completed my bracket prior to the tournament tipoff, I had both Michigan and UConn progressing to the final four and Michigan winning it all. After watching the offensive machine of the Arizona Wildcats, I am not so confident about Michigan winning, but the Wolverines are a very solid team . I kinda lean toward Illinois falling to the tournament tested coach Dan Hurley who seems to always find a way to win big games. However I admit that Illinois is much better than I have given them credit for. And I have to admit that I turned away from the Duke-UConn game and was shocked several hours later to learn that UConn ended up winning that puppy.

The pictures in this article from FishDuck Photographers were awesome. Superb quality…

Barring injury I think the Ducks should have used him a bit more. The guy was a beast.

He looks good, but I wish Kenyon would hit the weight room more often. He has to have at least half of one percent body fat, no? 🤪

Miles Gosztola is another example of a pitcher, (transfer this time) who started out very hit-and-miss this season, but given enough playing time--built his confidence to come back, and deliver a superb performance. It is hard to have good mid-week pitchers available, as you need them to win the weekend series. And I assume that since he was not used this last weekend...that he will be the starter against Portland Tuesday night at 5:00 PM PST on B1G+.

OREGON ATHLETIC COMMUNICATIONS FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | MONDAY, MARCH 30, 2026 BASEBALL | @OregonBaseball Gosztola earns B1G weekly honor EUGENE, Ore. – Oregon left-handed pitcher Miles Gosztola is the Big Ten Conference Pitcher of the Week after an outstanding performance in a 6-0 nonconference win at UC San Diego, the conference announced on Monday. Gosztola took a no-hitter into the seventh inning, before finally surrendering a single just out of the reach of second baseman Ryan Cooney with two outs in the inning. He retired the next hitter to finish his day allowing just two runners to reach base. The Ducks’ lefty was in command from the outset retiring the first 15 batters he faced before finally issuing a walk to lead off the bottom of the sixth. He got the next batter to fly out to Brooks in center field before getting a ground-ball double play to end the inning. Gosztola faced 22 batters throwing first-pitch strikes to 17 of them on the way to finishing the game with eight strikeouts.

For the most part, those Isla Vista match-ups were fun mound duels to watch. Really enjoyed them. I’m far from being any kind of pitching expert, but watching their motion and mph, the Gaucho hurlers seemed to have a lot wider curve, and speeds more often in the 70’s and 80’s, where as our guys regularly pushed into the 90’s which accounts for not having near the hook of their pitchers. Got me wondering if that has more to do with pitching coaches or player ability, or both. Either way, both clubs have top drawer pitching coaches and staffs. Exciting stuff, and one of the things that makes the game great.

I'm hoping this is a foreshadowing of more B1G/SEC challenges in Football, and Men's and Women's basketball. Ernie Banks, "Let's play two!", at Wrigley Field, comes true.

FYI - from a Jon Wilner Hotline ($ Wall) article. Before yesterday's loss by Duke, No. 1 seeds in the Tournament were 134-0 when leading by 15 points or more at the half. Duke's loss to UConn joins last season's late meltdown versus Houston, and the Blue Devils' fans would like to see Coach K retire from retirement and back on the Duke bench. UConn coach Dan Hurley is 10-0 Against the Spread in Sweet 16, Elite 8, and Final 4 games. Again, I caution against recency bias; the SEC dominated last season's tournament. But in this season's tournament, the Big Ten went 5-0 against the SEC. "It Just Means More B1G Wins?" 😁😁😁😁😁
