I gave up on "experts" years ago when listening to Paul "Fawn"baum read his obviously scripted SEC narrative (Sinclair media style) EACH and EVERY time he was "front and center" on national media during the BCS era. Had me realize that objective, reflective thought on the subject of college football is mostly a bunch of "noise" to meet the "needs" of fan bases and advertisers. In the world of "entertainment" havin' Nuthin' to talk about is paramount to a death sentence. Better to fill the void with BS than lose your audience or cashflow. Ergo where we are at with the plethora of podcast and streaming "options" available today. I don't know but I like to try and live by the mantra of: Better to keep quiet and appear a fool or uninformed, than open ones mouth and remove all doubt. 😉 Go Quackers!

Great article, and one that I completely agree with. I think the best evidence for why Hill / Davison should be the primary RBs is because we as fans can all see it. Really fun to watch.

Still too early to get excited about Ranking. But this week's game should help bring clarity. Carson Beck is doing well as a veteran. But wait, Mario won't be able to help himself and soon will get his chance to spoil it for Miami.

EXPOSED: Oregon's Dominance BREAKS Penn State's Spirit | Ducks True Freshmen Best Ever?

David, thank you again for another entertaining, enlightening article. It's so good to have true frosh come in with stars attached to their names and produce in their first season. That's talent meeting opportunity and excellent coaching, schematically and otherwise. All right, youngsters, Put Down That Cig!

Oregon has two incredible freshman running backs in Dierre Hill and Jordon Davison, both of whom have outstripped expectations and are pushing for more carries. These two running backs should be getting the bulk of the reps moving forward, as they are far better than rest of Oregon’s already loaded RB room. Davison’s Tight Squeeze We all love it when ... The Case for Oregon's Freshmen Running back Duo to Start

What i MEANT to say

The fact Miami struggled with FSU, and payed Oregon in the polls, probably is like a gnat buzzing in your ear... Annoying, but knowing Mario, he'll find a way to litter his own nest.

Oh it could get worse... They have Northwestern this Saturday. If they lose that game then Franklin is going to get Kiffened, fired on the tarmac and not allowed to get on the bus home... but this is a home game for Penn State so I guess the equivalent to that is firing him in the tunnel and locking him out of the lockeroom.

A great reminder it can always be worse..well, maybe not for Penn State, but it can always be worse..

I'm with Charles. It's relative. I'm a manager that hires from time to time and all the B1G school carry prestige for their graduates. At least we're accredited unlike Nebraska, the only team below them.

Kentucky has moved its Athletic Department from under the university umbrella and into a newly formed Limited Liability Company. In the pursuit of cash, one size will not fit all. OBD fans are blessed to have an Athletic Department in the black. If you look across the landscape of B1G schools, this is the exception and not the rule. Where else could many unsuccessful 'subsidiaries' have their 'parent company' valued at $40 billion? Private capital puts up $2 billion for 5%, with the 5% going away in 2046. Of course, beware the details, but on its face, it looks like a good deal, one that will deliver funds to flat-broke UCLA athletic department. But any deal will not happen, of course, without sign-offs from Ohio State and Michigan.

Okay, this one is pretty funny, Neuheisel Jr. still looks like he's a student and he's been around for a while now.

Jimmy Knowles, Go to Your Room!

Once upon a time, Jeffery came off the bench, replaced the injured DTR at QB, and took down Texas. I know, Texas, right?😁 In studio on Saturday, Dad Rick had to apologize to PSU fans for losing any semblance of objectivity. I LOVE both your and Charles' takes. 😎

I've not given pundits, "experts" much validity since Charles started 'Fishduck.com'. I used to think Herbstreit knew his stuff. But learning about Chip's offense from this site made me realize that KH had no clue what the Ducks were doing! I've learned so much from all the contributions here that it's obvious that the "experts" are merely repeating popular talking points. They are still stuck in the '80's for football success. Only the SEC and a few "Bluebloods" can win it all. Now, with NIL, the portal, and all athletes getting paid, 'above board', the old school elites no longer have an advantage. They can no longer store up blue-chip players and hold onto deep rosters. Now you can actually play at Cincinnati, or Vanderbilt, etc, get exposure AND make $$$. Preseason rankings based on last year are now invalid because every year is now a new roster. E.g. how many teams are starting a new transfer QB! Anyway, I laugh at preseason polls. But I love my OBD community!

TBH, my son lived in Vegas for more 10 years... During that span, I hit the spotrs to bet college football ball exactly once. In the week before the 2010 season began, i bet $20 on Oregon to go 12-0. My lack of faith cost me a bundle, as long 20 to 1 odds... i had enough spare cash to put down $150 or more, but chickened out. Guess I'm not a gambler, eh?

I can't remember that last time that I've seen a team drop from #2 to #28 inside of 9 days.

Still beats MANDRAKE! Of course, some folks would say Benny and the Tree beat that uh, bobblehead-nation...

Aw, Charles, you shouldn't have... but I snickered!
