Hello My OBD FishDuck Forum Friends! What is your prediction of Oregon versus USC? Take your shot and let's have fun with it... Let's get these predictions started, and remember I look for the differential between your predicted points with both teams from the actual points. I will use the tiebreaker information when needed, so provide all the data below! Entries without ALL the information are invalid, and predictions on other threads don't count. We Have Two New Rules: If two winning scores are tied, and tiebreakers tie? The first one who posted wins, automatically. TerryM9 gets 42-6 locked in every time as his. (I love this guy!) Please follow directions, as I need all that is below for tiebreakers: --the winner --the score --the amount of turnovers Oregon creates --the number of sacks Oregon records on the opposing team --the number of passing yards by the Ducks. My prediction is: Oregon 38-24 1 2 251

There was so much on a Trojan pay-board, but you will enjoy these morsels. "Overrated Quacks: Seriously, who have they beat? A plodding Iowa team…….barely……The last two legit really good teams they have faced beat the brakes off them and were clearly better. Conference foes not even SEC programs. I said @ beginning of the season they’d lose to Indiana and UW. Everything about Autzen is a gimmick outlier but I think this SC team can pull it off." 2011 USC Victory at Autzen: "I’ll take Riley over that version of Lane and Chip over that cringey dork Laniel Danning." "The (Oregon) offense does not look great. They simply don't have a good receiving core." "You can count on a Lanning goofball decision such as an onside kick or fake punt that goes wrong." "I feel good about our chances...Btw, Quacks are playing two frosh corners." "Zeros haven't beaten anyone great yet. And lost to the one top team they did play.. (IND)." "Besides all the obvious reasons, I also want to beat the quacks to wipe that arrogant smirk off Lan Danning's face." "Oregon has maxed out. Ducklings are going to be wondering why they can't finish a season much in the same way Georgia did with Mark Richt or Penn St with Franklin." "Easily the most delusional fan base on the West coast.(Oregon) After all the years of smack and back and forth, the TRUTH came out when USC decided to go to the B1G. The Quacks were in the middle of building their 5th Meth lab when the alarm sounded. Bottom line, they FOLLOWED Daddy to the B1G. They knew they were not in a position to lead the PAC 12/10, nor would they be able to attract anyone meaningful to the conference. This was a reality check for the Quacks and we are their most hated rival because they left the civil war to follow USC." "They followed us like dogs and, if realignment hits again, they'll be on their hands and knees again begging and selling themselves to go where we go once more." "They (Oregon) aren’t a rival. We already have two of those. They’re more of an annoying, championship-less, obstacle rather than a rival." "Oregon is a former Pac-12 team, so SC is their Super Bowl. Realignment was never gonna change that." "I really can’t understand how fans from a championshipless team, let alone fans from that garbage state can talk any smack." "Since Lanning came into the Pac-12 and walked into the cupboard of talent that Cristobal left, he has underachieved with the most talent in the Pac-12. Let’s not forget that Oregon has been ahead of the NIL game too. He’s a young coach so I’m not going to write him off yet but it’s getting close. Oregon has recruited really well the last couple of years, and that includes with Cristobal who took Helton’s lunch money. They have no more excuses why they’re a championship-less program." A rational USC fan? "With the current state of the SC defense, their chances of beating Ducks in Autzen are slim and none. And slim is about to walk out the door."

The next two games for everybody will sort a lot of things out. I am hoping for a first round home game and not a bye. Let Ohio St and Indiana beat the snot out of each other. Ducks need to take the next step and win a playoff game. After that first one, I don't care who or where they play. They will be ready if they make it to the next level.

"I see Franklin as very similar to Cristobal." Interesting point. Certainly as far as results are concerned. Both will mess it up when it counts. But Franklin is very mediocre - will beat down lesser teams but NEVER beat a better team. Cristobal can make a team look like it has a title shot - and then lose to inferior competition. As a fan, I really cannot decide which would be more frustrating. Here is another comparison for ya: Willie the Snake as very similar to Prime Time!

Fav all time: This is my fav for 2025 so far:

Jon Sousa the salesman lied to you. Hope you didn't buy the black clothing. You should wonder why school busses are yellow and highway construction workers wear yellow or orange. I suggest that you google this: "In daylight is a yellow object more visible than a black object?" Here's the response: "Yes, in daylight, a yellow object is more visible than a black one . Yellow is highly eye-catching and one of the most visible colors to the human eye, especially under daylight conditions, which is why it is used for safety equipment and school buses. A black object is less visible because it absorbs most wavelengths of light, whereas a yellow object reflects yellow light, making it stand out against most backgrounds." So our QB's can see receivers wearing yellow more easily than when they wear black. Amazingly the next most visible color - green.

Wow, who knew? Now all we need is to find that black with green accents is the most visible combination possible! Go Ducks!

I have been a bicycle rider for years, and once I commented to a guy selling riding clothing at a bike shop about how much riding clothing is black (especially the pants)... and I thought the same as you. You want to be seen on the road. The guy replied to me that studies have shown that black is easier to see during the day. There are fewer accidents with black bike clothing than any other color. On a sunny day, black is easy to see.

Rece Davis hypes up Oregon-USC Big Ten title eliminator game with surprising predictionRece Davis hypes up Oregon-USC Big Ten title eliminator g...The loser of the Oregon-USC game is all but effectively out of the Big Ten title race, which excites ESPN's Rece Davis despite not calling the game this Saturday. CBS gets the honors on game day.

Nice history lesson Darren! It’s an entertaining bonus to be the “little brother” that (unlike Beavis) can annoyingly out do “big brother” at his own game. Flushing the Troylets is a gift that keeps on giving.

OBD has the No. 1-ranked pass defense in the nation. The best passing offense OBD has faced is No. 22 Rutgers. Most of OBD's opponents to date have been passing game impaired. USC comes into Autzen with the No. 10 pass offense. OBD's red zone defense has been Code Red, missing in action. SC's O is 9th in Red Zone scoring. Run Game - OBD 2336 Yds - 9.4 per rush/ USC 2418 Yds - 8.7 per rush Both teams are being cagey regarding injured players. Safety Kamari Ramsey is a key player for SC. It is uncertain whether Ramsey, starting guard Elijah Paige, and RB Waymond Jordan will be able to play. As to OBD's wounded, fingers crossed. Trash the Trojans!

There is a church camp, Camp Myrtlewood, near there, I used to joke with people when giving directions that you go 5 miles past Remote and turn left (literally).

Aaron Fentress’s mother-in-law

I just blew something fiery out of my sinuses...

My guess is the opposite team than Kirk Herbstreit picks.

Geez, I wonder who he will pick?

It's official: it's Marcus.

Three of their four ranked wins cam against Vanderbilt, Tennessee and Missouri. The 7th, 8th, and 9th ranked teams in the SEC. Out of these three teams, only Vanderbilt has a ranked win...against Missouri. Tennessee and Mizzou have no ranked wins to go with their three losses. Yet, they're still ranked so they can keep the likes of Alabama in the playoff hunt. This is the perfect example of the SEC being a self-licking ice cream cone.

Posted by Jon Joseph: OK, it's a publicity stunt that would not be OK with Sooners fans; Bet MGM has released putative first-round odds for PO games if this week's rankings were final. Bet MGM had to turn away dozens of fans who tried to place bets. 🤪 12. Tulane at 5. Texas Tech (-29.5). For however long the current PO format remains in place, the 5 seed should have a walkover 1st round game. This is not college basketball. Earlier this season - Ole Miss 45 - Tulane 10. Tulane did defeat Northwestern. With a 2nd round game close to a certainty, would Coach McGuire keep his starters in, including brittle QB Behren Morton, and run up the score? I'd take the points. 9. Notre Dame (-4.5) at 8. Oklahoma. Oklahoma rarely loses in Norman and has a terrific run defense. I'd sooner take Oklahoma and the points. 10. Alabama at 7. Oregon (PK) - DeBoer vs. Danno, in December, in Autzen, what more could we ask for? Alabama cannot run the football. Oklahoma, without its best edge rusher, kept Bama QB Ty Simpson under pressure he hadn't seen since the opener vs. FSU (🙃) and forced three turnovers. The Bama passing game was sharp, the Tide had 200 more yards on offense than the Sooners, but the absence of a run game and short fields for the Oklahoma offense made the difference. EX: A for this Committee making it up as they so choose, Alabama with four wins over top 25 teams, including a road win at No. 4 Georgia, being dropped from 4th to 10th, and on the PO cut line. If this were the opening line for this matchup in Autzen, I expect, depending on the power of the Bama brand, the line would move in favor of OBD. Accordingly, I'd place a bet on the Ducks ASAP. 11. Miami at 6. Ole Miss (-4.5) - Will Kiffin be coaching Ole Miss? If not, would the Committee, based on the Rebels' rather thin resume, keep the team at No. 6? I never discount the ability of Mari-oh-oh to pull defeat from the jaws of victory. But Miami has the roster to match up with and win in Oxford, if Carson Beck throws to his teammates and not to Ole Miss DBs. Ole Miss won a home game this season by 3 points over Wazzu. I'd gulp while taking Miami and the points. EX: B - No. 9 Notre Dame is 8-2. No. 14. Miami is 8-2. 8/31/25 - Miami 27 - Notre Dame 24. But - "Notre Dame has better losses, and we haven't compared Miami and Notre Dame head to head because the teams are not in the same grouping." 🤑🤮 Please, bring on an AQ format and kick the Committee to the curb. PS - Commissioner Yormark, do you not understand that No. 11 BYU and No. 12 Utah would be out of the PO field in favor of 11 seed Miami, or another ACC representative, and 12 seed Tulane or another G6 representative? Commissioner Phillips, would you prefer having two ACC teams qualify or for your conference to serve as cannon fodder for a Notre Dame program that refuses to share? Ruin Riley!
