During the Lanning era, rust has been way more consequential to performance than injuries.

If you want to hear an even crazier story revolving around a once committed Buckeye receiver, not named Chris Henry. Look up Legend Bey. A 17 year old who flipped from Tennessee to Ohio State, only to flip back and sign with Tennessee. But, he has since said his older brother may have signed the LOI, and since he isn't yet 18, he needed his mother to sign as well. He is reportedly asking for his release, and intends to sign with Ohio State on Christmas Eve, when he turns 18. Tennessee will likely grant his release, but if they don't, he can just enter the transfer portal in January. Crazy stuff , there aren't any rules anymore. Between this, and the Lane Kiffin debacle, I think college football needs a commissioner. Just not Nick Saban, he's still very biased. Oh, and btw, there is now another potential Michigan cheating scandal. This time involving communications going down for their opponent in the second half of Saturday's game. Hail to the victors!!!! Oops, they lost😂. *Penn State currently has a recruiting class of two guys, Oregon broke that program worse than Sid tried to break Buzz Lightyear.

Oregon would have the unanimous #1 receiving core in the nation. Let's not forgot defenses also have to plan for Davidson and Hill in the backfield. So, if I was an OC looking for a new gig, Oregon would have to be on my very short list considering all of the toys to play with! Which makes me think DL can have his pick for OC's and not get a retread like Chip.

OBD already have the highest average rating per recruit on rivals. For the second year in a row.

GA was 1st by both measures in 2024–rarified air!

I don't think it's a bad idea. Gonzaga is a bad example, they worked themselves into a position where they could take on those challenges, women's basketball is also very different, you see a lot less upsets in women's basketball, there just isn't the distribution of talent. There is a lot of upheaval at OSU, and it would be a good idea to pause the series until the Beavs get their feet under themselves again. I don't want to see that series become a joke like the football game is now. That's just my opinion.

Or five centers snapping five ball?

You've got to know when to hold them, and know when to fold them into the regular season. 😁 FanSidedConference championship games are now a College Football...Want to stay in the CFP bracket? Don't play in a conference championship game.

I believe Ol' Buddy Ryan called the Run and Shoot, the "Chuck and Duck."

🤯. Imagine a 2-deep of: Stewart, McClellan, Moore, Henry, Lott and Bair. Might need to run the 1980s version of the Houston Oilers run and shoot offense. 🤣

Heavens! Moore, Stewart (if he returns) and Henry Jr, along with McClellan, Bair and a host of 4* talent in that WR room next year. With Dante slinging the rock. Wow.

Maybe he should talk to Mark Few about out-of-conference scheduling philosophy?

Thanks!

Does anyone know if Harrison actually signed?

To go along with what Charles just posted: Oregon surges ahead for 5-star WR Chris Henry Jr. after Brian Hartline's OSU exitMomentum has shifted sharply toward Oregon, with multiple Rivals analysts logging predictions for the Ducks to flip the Five-star Plus+ talent. According to On3, Henry’s growing relationship with coach Dan Lanning, coupled with a strong NIL package, has positioned Oregon at the top entering Thursday. The Ducks, ranked No. 3 nationally, are pushing to pair Henry with fellow five-star Jalen Lott, whose signing is expected once final contract language is settled. Ohio State coach Ryan Day reportedly made a late pitch Wednesday night, selling the fact of the Buckeyes’ nine first-round receiver selections and the program’s development structure. Day also noted Oregon has yet to produce a first-round wideout. Texas made an aggressive NIL offer, but Henry has never visited Austin. USC and West Virginia have also made efforts, but neither are serious. A final decision could come as soon as Thursday. Oregon surges ahead for 5-star WR Chris Henry Jr. after B...The Ducks look to capitalize on Buckeyes' misfortune.

Both. Lane Exotic and his beast.

He is in a tough spot. Hard to recruit at his old level in a secondhand conference. However, he should want to challenge his players to know what it will take to get to our level.

Two edge sword, more rust with the extra week off vs one less game with a chance to get key players hurt. Hey Darren "4) Speaking of that, who will be Oregon’s new permanent coordinators?" New "temporary" coordinators, we want ones that eventually be poached.

Which one??? The man or the tiger?

Will Henry and Lott both end up at Oregon?? I like the chances right now.

The 5th seed is a million times better than the 4th seed for us. If we get the 4th seed bye, it will be 4 weeks without a game (one more week than last year) going against a team that had a nice warm up game the week before in a game with a 2-3 touchdown spread playing at home.

The non B1G and SEC teams don't have to worry about losing a play-in and having to rely on getting one of 3 at large berths. This is why 24 is the better answer than 16 once you move to play-in games.

The more you get out of the committee's hands the better off college football will be. Of course they will deny this, but the conspiracy theorist in me says they decide who they want in the CFP then work backwards to justify it. Is ND really better than Miami? They have identical records and nearly indentical SOS, but ND gets the nod despite losing the head to head matchup. This defies logic. The "eye" test is really just a beauty contest based on who the powers that be think would draw more eyeballs. Personally I love the play-in concept for championship weekend. The top 2 conference finishers play each other for the 1-2 seeds, #3 plays #6 for the third seed and #4 plays #5 for the fourth seed. This year's B1G play-in games would be (caveat not sure how the tie-breakers would work): tOSU/Indiana 1-2 seeds. OBD/Iowa #3 seed. USC/Michigan #4 seed. SEC would be: Georgia/Bama 1-2 seeds. Ole Miss/Okiehoma #3 seed. TA&M/Texas #4 seed. Losers could still receive an at-large bid. It's ridiculous that Miami would be left out in favor of JMU and Tulane, but that could very well happen. Not shedding any tears for Mario, but seriously in what world does this make any sense? Maybe not a perfect system and should always be considered a work in progress, but if Bama loses and gets dropped out in favor or Tulane and JMU, the SEC will just blow the whole thing up.
