Another interesting piece I'm seeing these days is the Jordan Seaton transfer portal recruitment. The Ducks sound like they are in it, for whatever that's worth and the number going around for his services is 3mil-ish. That's as much as our two newly promoted coordinators combined (more or less) for one player. In the past I think Dan would have given this a pass but I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the NIL budget might have been given a bit of extra juice after the last loss.

With 5 DBs and 2 inside linebackers and only 2 big defensive linemen, the edge players have to do two jobs: be a defensive end when needed and be an athletic blitzing outside linebacker when needed. It is a tall order. The inside linebackers need to be faster and react quicker, which would help. When the edge players get locked up in a wrestling match with the offensive tackles, the QB has a lot of time to scan the field. I think the key to winning games is having the best offensive tackles and edge players on your team. Which is why I feel that the 2019 team was such a disappointment because they had the best O tackle and best edge in all of college football that year. A 3 man D line will not work because you always need a blitzer and option plays will pick that apart. Oregon needs to recruit to fill the prototype of the edge player because not many top edges make it to the portal. I also think that aggressive DBs can help on the run game, taking some of the pressure off the edge players. Oregon edge players need to be sack machines.

Highest Recruiting Class Ever? Oh Yeah!

The SEC has not increased its number of ranked teams from the preseason AP Poll to the final AP Poll for 7 straight years now. 2019: 6 to 5 2020: 7 to 4 2021: 5 to 5 2022: 6 to 6 2023: 6 to 6 2024: 9 to 7 2025: 10 to 7 Maybe they should stop ranking more than 6 SEC teams in the preseason? In 2025, pre-season ranked teams which did not make the final ranking: LSU, S. Carolina, Florida, Tennessee. Though, Vandy was unranked and ended up in the Top 25. But, those early rankings helped the SEC to build their rankings "resume."

Becker showed it's possible to make catches even when your QB throws into coverage. You don't have to have a two-step separation, or your QB doesn't have to wait until you do and risk a sack.

Thanks, H Duck, for posting the AP Poll - I posted the same poll below only because it comes from the AP source. No. 17 Iowa is ranked behind No. 15 Vandy, of course. After the loss to Iowa, Vandy dropped two spots; Iowa did not move up from its ranking after the win over Vandy. No. 26 Illinois and No. 27 UW would be favored over the four G6 teams that finished in the top 25. As noted above, OBD finishes No. 4, one spot ahead of Ohio State.

Becker became a major impact player through the season for Indiana. Some say he is the fastest WR in college and he's 6'3 and has no issue making contested catches. I was feeling pretty jealous until I realized we have Bair on our roster next year. Same speed, same height, same aggressiveness going after the ball on film. I really hope he blossoms through the season like Becker next year and becomes a key contributor on a run to the national championship.

Hey 1Ducker1, and I am happy to share with you. This is my third tie this year. The other two were for second place, so I am improving. Maybe I'll go buy a lottery ticket on my way to town for the BB game. It's taco Tuesday. 3 soft tacos for $5 and $4 Modelos at The Matt.
