We have seen Bo Nix elevated from a suspect FBS QB to a 1st round draft choice.

Thanks, 30. But PSU can lose to both of the Os in 2025, go 10-2, and win it all. Seems to me a two-loss B1G team did just that last season, no?

Absolutely. He did recruit Moore who semi-flopped at UCLA due to a lot reasons other than not being up to the job. He's back in the fold in Eugene where he has been developed in Duckville, mentored by a very good college QB. We'll see how well that works out and what kind of job has been done with Novastad, who has been brought along by two of them, one an NFL starter. as well. I make no judgement on Dan or the staff, yet. We just haven't haven't see the high level evidence of an Oregon recruited and elevated signal caller so far. I, of course, haven't seen Moore do enough yet to have an opinion on who should start. I'm pretty sure Novo would succeed but I don't know if he is better than Moore or not. The noise being made by players is positive for Moore and you have to give them some credence. Naturally you need at least two guys in the room you wouldn't quake over if their number came up. I can recall a season Oregon was down to #4 and didn't do any worse than they had earlier. Of course, now, if Numbers two and three are not top shelf it will be more likely to spoil the season. Remember the serious dip when Ty Thompson had to step in for Nix who played better injured. The talent level on hand and that needed are at least a step up from then. A lot of guys are and will be hitting the portal that we slobbered over when they arrived. Some of those quality guys have already had to depart and at least one got drafted into the NFL. (Shough) There will be others at other positions who couldn't crack the two deep in Eugene who will be happy, welcome and successful elsewhere. I think in this recruiting cycle the Ducks have lost recruits who would have come if they weren't pretty well certain they'd not see the top spot until year three, at best. As fans we need to get use to that new standard at most positions as the team grows. I doubt Ohio State fans have shed any real tears over players we lured away from them.

Man, is it ever a long offseason or what? Still, this 'stuff' is fun to ponder. I'm not aware of any gaming sites taking bets for the 2027-28 playoff. Of course, Adam will lose nothing if his musings roll craps. ASU? 12? Should any B12 team be this highly ranked? Sorry, but both USC and UW are underrated. Here's my long-term predictions: In 2031, Stanford and Northwestern will have the 'Smartest' teams; no matter the sport, the SEC will have the most teams ranked in the preseason; the SEC will have the most players drafted by the NFL; the SEC will play eight conference games but it will continue to Just Mean More; SEC locker rooms will have the softest towels; Bill Belichick will not have produced a title at UNC and Bill and Jordon will not have produced a baby; Mari(o) will be back coaching at FIU; and The Big Ten will distribute the most revenue to its member schools.

I like the narrative this game has, in June; it will get even louder as the game gets closer. Lanning and Oregon are absolutely not looking at this as Oregon's got nothing to lose. But Franklin's history, the returning QB, the White-Out all puts Penn State in the driver's seat...maybe off a cliff. Joel Klatt names surprise team as Penn State's most important game this season WWW.SPORTINGNEWS.COM Why Fox Sports' Joel Klatt believes Oregon, not Ohio State, is the most crucial must-win game of the season for James Franklin...

The quickest way to end women's sports, demand equal pay. I've never been a fan of all women's sports, I know that's not politically correct. But the premise is equal pay for equal work. The game may be the same, but the "work" (play) is not even close to the same. Just have the WNBA champ play the NBA worst team, and see the difference. Oy vey!

According to other sources, this appeal, which was expected, will not hold up direct payments. Brace yourself for more litigation. The House settlement's direct payments to athletes are referred to as 'revenue sharing.' How do you equally share ZERO revenue? "Yes, football brings in 80% of the revenue, but we want the same money! It's only FAIR!" Is it time for Atlas to Shrug? Dear World, unless Congress gets these lawyers off our backs, 2025-26 will be the last season of college football and all other varsity sports. Have a Nice Day. /S/ FBS Football and D1 sports.

Hoo-boy...if they want half of everything?

Nice list. ASU at No.12 speaks well for Dillingham, Alabama at No.10, then up 4 spaces, Oregon! On my list I'd switch USC No.26 and UW No.33.

It makes no sense to have literally every other level of basketball using quarters while college uses halves.

This one is a weird one... Because frankly it doesn't matter if NCAA basketball moves to quarters. Everyone else uses quarters and they create natural breaks in the games. It is also a guaranteed commercial break for broadcasting companies which is what they want. It is the same reason why the NCAA adopted the 2 minute timeout in football. So going to quarters really wouldn't change the game. But it just feels kinda wrong.

“The committee realizes there are hurdles to implementing the quarter format to the game, including the structuring of media timeouts to accommodate commercial inventory. With all the media timeouts, it was hard to get a real sense of momentum and flow with the 20 minute halves, be interesting to see how 10 minute quarters are dissected to accommodate broadcasts.

First, welcome, Porter. He did recruit Moore, who flipped to UCLA and is now back at Oregon. Since Lanning has been at Oregon, despite the starting QB's coming through the portal, Oregon has not had trouble getting QB recruits. Moore was a recruit, Novosad is, one of them will be the starter in 2025.

I don't really care what they play. Quarters is more to provide advertising than anything else so we will probably see it. We'll probably also see more foul shots with the 5 foul mark starting them. I don't think it really means anything other than a time out for the coaches and players.

I'm pretty sure Lanning didn't bring Thompson in and I'm not sure yet how good of a judge he is in recruiting QB's. We know he can pull what he needs from the portal but that is probably not the best plan in the long run. Of course, Ty is now a receiver for his new team. I never saw him belonging as a starter behind the center after his sophomore year. I hope he does well at his new position. I'm not sure we will ever see Smith on the turf but if the coaches develop him, I could be wrong. No matter what the Ducks will likely have a strong room for years to come.

Buried deep inside a Tuesday press release announcing major changes to “help enhance the flow of the game” in men’s college basketball was a hint at an even more significant change to the game. Last month, the NCAA Men’s Basketball Rules Committee proposed the creation of a joint working group to gather feedback for potentially moving from halves to quarters. Since then, the NCAA revealed there’s been “positive momentum” toward the move to quarters, and the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel further recommended Division I conferences actually develop a working group to provide further feedback on the option. Men’s college basketball is the only division of the sport that utilizes halves as opposed to quarters. Women’s college basketball has utilized quarters since the 2015-16 season. NCAA hints at 'positive momentum' towards men's basketball moving to quarters from halves - On3 WWW.ON3.COM The NCAA revealed there's been "positive momentum" toward moving men's college basketball from halves to quarters like the women's game.

It seems that Lyons has cancelled his trip to USC. Oregon and BYU is in the mix. Hopefully will go Oregon’s way. You are right, he will be more for the 2027 cycle once he returns from his LDS mission trip. From what all is reporting USC seems to be out of the picture. Lyons cancelled his trip to USC. My concern is BYU. "While USC had the inside track to Lyons signature early in his recruitment, the Trojans have since fizzled out. Lyons canceled his official visit to USC that was set to take place last weekend. Four-star quarterback Jonas Williams committed to USC back in February, it’s possible Williams’ commitment played a role in Lyons's cancellation."

Where the Oregon Ducks rank in ESPN’s Future Power Rankings for college football In the college football world, being set up for the future is almost as important to fans as being ready to win right now. With a large emphasis on recruiting and the classes that are set up to come down the pipeline, fans who may not root for a team that is projected to be in the championship mix in a given year often opine about "down the road." For the Oregon Ducks, you can have both things.

Lyons is the QB you're probably thinking of there and if Oregon lands him he'll really be more a part of next year's class than this year's. This isn't to say that Oregon should pursue and land him. However, unless Oregon goes after two QBs this cycle, they probably will effectively be without a new QB for the 2025 cycle.
