It won't be Stanford, but emotions will be high as Liberty is in Oregon's way to get to Oklahoma City. Who will be in the circle for the Ducks?

#3 gives the team incentive to prove them wrong! Oregon Ducks Snubbed In Latest Big Ten Power Rankings? WWW.SI.COM The latest Big Ten power rankings have been released by Tom Fornelli with CBS Sports and the Oregon Ducks rankings are turning heads. Despite the Ducks finishin

I guess the question is would you rather be sitting around a hotel room playing video games in an unfamiliar town or out playing baseball with an opportunity to go to the college World Series. I know what my answer would be. Play Ball!! go s

I think the rest time is only important for the pitchers, and again, the Sports information director told me that the starters will be resting for seven days regardless. We could put nothing but freshman pitchers out there on Thursday, and lose the game, but we have everybody rested for a normal three day weekend series, so I think we will be OK. We have three catchers, and plenty to sub for infield and outfield that are quality players with little to no dropoff. I think everyone knows me well enough to confirm that if I was really concerned about this now, I would be asserting it strongly as I usually do. We may disagree, and that is fine. I actually think that throwing freshman pictures out there Thursday that haven’t had any action in a month or so besides practice, would be good for them in case we need to turn to them in the playoffs for an inning or two.

While the Ducks have played 3 straight days on weekends, so have their opponents. With time off like Nebraska and Penn State would have, both can rest starters and relievers. But, my real point was the seeming unfairness to higher seeds in the Pods. Just like the CFP. What if No. 1 seed Oregon had Nebraska's schedule (with rest) instead?

Meh. If I know Coach Waz...he will remind the team that they've been playing three straight games a weekend for a couple of months, with a number of weekends of four straight games. They have their routine, and know how to approach it. Frankly, breaking up the routine might have made it worse? In his interviews he explains that he tells the team..."instead of practice--we get to play BASEBALL!"

Add another crazy thing about the seeding... Remember, we said since Nebraska played on Tuesday, they will have time off until Friday before facing the Ducks, while the Ducks play on Thursday. Well, for the moment, assume Oregon beats Nebraska and wins Pod A. The Ducks would then play on Saturday after playing on Thursday and Friday. But, if Penn State beats USC on Thursday, they would be the Pod D winner with a day off before facing the Pod A winner on Saturday. So, you could have the No. 1 seed Oregon playing two teams coming off rest on Friday and Saturday while the Ducks would have played 3 consecutive days.

Another close 3-2 win today for Northwestern over Stanford, just like Tuesday's semi-final with Oregon. Came down to the last pairing. And, the same Northwestern golfer who won it on Tuesday was the closer for Northwestern today. Northwestern was fifth in the Big Ten Tournament when the Oregon women won in April.

Four games slated for Thursday at Charles Schwab Field Omaha, Rescheduled OMAHA, Neb. – The Big Ten Conference has announced a schedule change to the 2025 Big Ten Baseball Tournament Presented by IFS.ai. With inclement weather in the forecast, first pitch for three pool play games on Thursday will move up by one hour. The new start times are 9 a.m. CT for UCLA versus Michigan, 1 p.m. for USC-Penn State and 5 p.m. (3:00 PM PST) for Oregon-Michigan State. In addition, the Iowa-Indiana contest, originally scheduled for Friday, will be played at 9 p.m. on Thursday. All four games Thursday will be carried by the Big Ten Network.

USC is trying to get the ND game scheduled early in the year rather than at the end. I can kinda see their point. IF this is their future: 9 - Big Ten games 1 - SEC opponent in a Big/SEC agreement 1 - Notre Dame 1 - open date SC has never scheduled an FCS opponent, and there will be a portion of their fan base who will want either Cal or Stanford every year on that "open date." That could mean, that other than the annual SEC matchup, the season would be locked in and no other intersectional opponents from the Big12 or ACC would be possible. No Arizona, ASU, Utah, San Diego St, etc if Notre Dame/Cal/Stanford were locked in. I can see their "worry" about renewing a long-term contract with ND until there is clarity on the SEC/Big challenge agreement.

Yes, wasn’t thinking Big Picture. And yes, too much fun scratching my head over OBD’s baseball future.

To answer your question, Mr. Waddler, I believe no, after talking to the Sports information Director for Baseball. They want seven full days of rest for their starters, in particular Grinnell, because he’s going 100 pitches these days. So I don’t think they will save him for Sunday, as I believe they will use him on Friday this week so he is fresh for the regional, as that is first priority. Now, with that being said, they may not play Grinnell, against the number four seed in the regional on Friday, and perhaps save him for Saturday next week? Just another means of entertainment…trying to figure it out!

A Little Moore Love. College Football Analyst Turns Heads With Darkhorse Heisman Pick - Athlon Sports

With Dzierwa going 6 innings, and Broderick 3.1 in Michigan State’s loss to Nebraska, does Wasikowski now strategize the pitching order with an eye towards the championship game by going by committee tomorrow, and then reversing his starting order in order to save Grinsell for a possible show down with UCLA?

As long as ND can get an invite for the "ND is in if ranked at a designated number or higher", regardless of schedule strength, they have no real incentive for changing.

Like Paige Sinicki said, "There was no doubt we were going to win this game" after Stanford got a grand slam in the 1st inning, then led 7-3. Incredible performance, and it all worked out, they got their Super Regional.

Jon...your points are more important and valid than what the writer suggested, and yet....I do not think ND will ever join, full-time, a conference. They will continue to play footsie with the ACC because it suits their purposes, IMHO.

This seems to be registering with the national media. ND has lived a dream for long enough. Who knew it would be SC that would sound the alarm.

A take in support of SC dropping Notre Dame. Losing Notre Dame-USC is the price of conference realignment, and it is not the Trojans' fault WWW.SPORTINGNEWS.COM Notre Dame and USC have not come to an agreement to extend their nearly 100-year series, but USC's case for ending it is valid. Having SC on the schedule means more of NBC's money for the Irish and nothing for SC. Money The Irish share with no one. Having SC on the schedule helps with ND's scheduling, even when SC is down, the game's a TV draw, and also helps with ND's recruiting in California. A win-win for ND and not so much for SC. Last season's PO runner-up ND played four G5 opponents. SC is not able to schedule four G6 opponents. And SC plays in a deeper conference than the ACC.

Analyzing Oregon Football's Latest Offers in the 2026 Recruiting Class Watch this episode on the ScoopDuck YouTube channel Oregon Football’s 2026 class ranks inside the top-five nationally according to the On3 Industry team recruiting rankings. Dan Lanning and the rest of his staff have a solid handle on their recruiting big board, but we all know recruiting is fluid. As such, Oregon has continued to send out offers in the 2026 recruiting class ahead of official visit season. Some of these offers are at positions of need like offensive line and defensive line, while others could be to help bolster depth on the current roster. Some recruits have been in communication with the Ducks for a while and some of them are just getting started. Many of them have never been to Eugene and are already working on setting up their first recruiting visit since landing the offer. On today’s episode of the Ducks Dish Podcast, ScoopDuck’s Max Torres and Justin Hopkins dive into a few of the latest offers Oregon has sent out across the country. Two recruits discussed in-depth include 3-star Lithonia (Ga.) defensive lineman Tico Crittendon and 3-star Las Vegas (Nev.) Ed W Clark offensive tackle Dominic Harris. The Ducks have four commitments along the defensive line in the 2026 class, but zero commitments along the offensive line after 4-star offensive tackle Kodi Greene flipped from Oregon to Washington earlier this month. Crittendon and Harris both boast over 30 reported scholarship offers and their play on the field as seniors this season could lead to them receiving a boost in both the final ratings and rankings for the the 2026 class.
