Agree. As it stands to day their 2nd round opponent is tOSU.

Scenario this Saturday: Cold and rainy again. Dante Moore has been Mr Happy Feet unable to see open receivers, and has taken 4 sacks on the first 4 possessions. Does Brock come in?

In my opinion, Oregon is still a team with a young QB, a completely revamped OL and interior DL, and a lack of depth and elite talent at the inside LB spot. I am pulling hard for Oregon to win out and make the playoffs. Even if they do, I feel like it is a long shot that they are going to get past the second round this year. I am very excited for what the future brings. The talent coming in should help bridge those gaps in the coming years. I fully expect Oregon to win it all in the next 5 years or so.

Alex, your article brought up another scenario for us to ponder . . . A two loss Ducks team could miss the playoffs. Going forward since we want to see OBD in the playoffs every year it will be a daunting task to go 11 - 1 year after year. That is a tough ask, so we do need to be prepared for hopefully no more than a one-year absence every so often.

What should the Oregon Ducks expect from Iowa Hawkeyes offense?This will be one of the most challenging remaining games on Oregon's schedule, and a matchup that many fans have had circled since the start of the season. So what can we expect to see from this Kirk Ferentz team, and in particular, what type of challenges will they present? Let's dive in. What should the Oregon Ducks expect from Iowa Hawkeyes' defense?

Now how do we get the memo to the broadcasters and commentators?!

Built for Kinnick: How Oregon's road dominance under Dan Lanning could silence Iowa's hostile environmentAside from the recent trends showcasing Oregon's consistency away on the road, the Ducks bring a level of explosiveness and overall success rushing the ball that could exploit subtle weaknesses in the Hawkeyes' defense. No. 9 Oregon puts its nation‑leading road win streak on the line in Kinnick Stadium against No. 20 Iowa this Saturday on CBS

What to expect from Iowa defense. The Hawkeyes have the No. 5 scoring defense (14.0 ppg), No. 3 total defense (243.1 ypg), No. 4 passing defense (153.4 ypg), and No. 12 rushing defense (89.7 ypg) in the nation. I think those will change for their worse. How much is weather depending. What the Oregon Ducks should expect from Iowa's defense On offense. Hawkeyes have a solid rushing offense, averaging 167.4 yards per game, which ranks 47th in the nation. That's great compared to their passing offense, which ranks 129th in the nation, with just 144.7 yards per game. So, put 11 in the box! What the Oregon Ducks should expect from Iowa's offense

Yes they can. I think they must win this weekend and both home games. Probably get in with a loss to UW however unthinkable that is. A loss at Iowa would drop them to far out of the top 12

LOVE these uni’s! Uniform reveal for Oregon at Iowa features back-to-basics classic lookThe Ducks face a College Football Playoff elimination game at Iowa Saturday, and their uniform choice suggests a return to their roots as a hard-running, physical, explosive football team born in the Rich Brooks and Mike Bellotti eras. There are new touches including the white wings on the helmets, but for the showdown against the CFP No. 20, 6-2 Hawkeyes Oregon chose green helmets, crisp white jerseys with green numerals trimmed in yellow, and green pants.

If Michigan wins out and Oregon wins out then is there a chance Oregon is in the B1G Championship game? The tie-breakers are pretty confusing. Michigan trumps OSU because of H2H win which is the first tie-breaker. This is where I get confused. Does this automatically put Michigan in the CG or do they bump Michigan up against Oregon? I don't know. If they did then Oregon would have the most wins over common opponents (USC) which is the second tie-breaker. What if Michigan goes to the CG and beats Indiana? I would like to see how the committee sorts that out. They would almost be forced to put all four teams in the playoff. Notre Dame would likely get pushed out if that happened.

I agree with Alex that beating Iowa is critical but I disagree that it would need to be emphatic to matter. A win on the road at Iowa will count regardless of the score. Indiana escaped with a victory in part because Gronowski got hurt and the Hawkeye offense imploded down the stretch. Hoosier could have and maybe should have lost that game. If Oregon wins out, they are in, likely with a #6 ceiling. But they need to win to be a guarantee. 10-2 won't cut it unless the team that beats the Ducks finishes with 3 losses and beats other ranked teams along the way. A 10-2 B1G team that beats Oregon is likely in and OBD out barring some chaos in the SEC with a crap ton of 9-3 teams Indiana and tOSU will play in the B1G CG. Given a close game, Bucknutt wins and IU drops no lower than #4. Indiana wins and ditto for tOSU. The best Oregon can be is 11-1 and a 3rd place at large B1G bid. It is a narrow path to the CFP and one OBD can navigate, but they almost certainly need to win out.

Correction to my previous comment. If A&M lost to Texas then they would only have one loss, not 2 losses. On an added scenario, Michigan controls their own destiny. If they win out and beat tOSU then depending on tie breakers, they could be in the BIG title game. If they don't make the title game consider that a 10-2 Wolverine squad, with a win over tOSU could overtake a 10-2 Duck squad? Just another reason for OBD's to win out and finish 11-1....

If Oregon can't win out then how successful would they really be in the playoffs? I know, I know, Ohio State made it and won it all last year even with a loss to Michigan. However, they had H2H wins against Indiana and Penn State, the most talented roster in CFB and it was obvious they closed their playbook against Michigan.

Alex, i feel that anything can happen in college football in November and nothing is more important than OBD's winning out. The Ducks may need double digit wins to change how the committee views them...... Many scenarios can and will play out to determine and shape the final 12 rankings. But its best the Ducks win out. This weekend the Ducks need BYU to beat TT, barring being leap frogged, OBD's move up to 8th. Then we need BYU to win out and win their title game. OBD's do not need an AQ out of the BIG 12 to take up a coveted spot. If Texas and Oklahoma win out then they will jump our Ducks. In this scenario, A&M, Bama and Georgia will have 2 losses. Chances are they will not fall below a 10-2 Duck team. Again, it is best to win out. If those 3 teams win out then Texas and Oklahoma are not a factor. Most likely Ole Miss wins out because their heaviest lifting is behind them. Normal ACC chaos in November should leave them with just 1 spot as long as GT doesn' upset Georgia. These are just a few scenarios and IMHO the Ducks need to play much better, win out and stay out and above the CHAOS! Go Ducks. As Alex said one game at a time. Step up, play with your hair on fire and handle business against tge Hawkeyes...

Let's Go Ducks - Go Fight Win!

Our Oregon football program entered 2025 in a season we expected to be a rebuilding year. That turned quickly into a reload, and lofty expectations were set after an all-time poised performance by Dante Moore on the road in Happy Valley. Unfortunately, Penn State decidedly did not hold up their end of the bargain the rest of the season, and have massively diminished a ... Could Oregon Miss the College Football Playoff?

Reminds me of a certain year, seemed like everyone wanted that matchup.....

Some green... Finally!

Oregon Rutgers happened for the first time this year.

Any other mascot would be down for the count!
