Ohio State above Alabama is a crime.

Well, that's not bad, 24, Good for you, Washington, 24th!

Looks like they’re 24th on the list.

Completely self-serving, and my apologies to our Georgia Brothers, but Roll Tide!

Right now, we are at No. 3 Oregon Ducks On SI - Sports Illustrated WWW.SI.COM Ducks Digest is a Sports Illustrated channel featuring Max Torres to bring you the latest News, Highlights, Analysis, Recruiting surrounding the Oregon Ducks We should go undefeated at home (without being a homer). We play ewe dub up there, so that demotes them. Heck might be someone before us. Georgia at No. 1 with a home slate of Marshall Austin Pee (peay) 'Bama Kentucky Ole Miss Texas and a bye = Charlotte

Couldn't find the whole 25, did Bow Down make it?

This is a very good que$tion, to which there is only one acceptable answer.

I'll go with envy.

I believe that everyone is overlooking how the NIL is going to be 20.5 million, the same for all schools, thus Beavis has the same NIL budget for all sports as we do. This is going to have quite a NFL-esque equalizing impact on talent as it will no longer be concentrated?

The trouble with becoming a ‘have’ is that it has a tendency to turn you into one of those programs you always despised - or was it always just envy?

Just curious if Mullens’s “strategic investments” will include ponying-up for a softball head coach who has now earned it - unlike the last time.

Give me Liberty or give me the rule book?

Reminds me of the golf course Willie Nelson built on his ranch, he got to set par. Said on one hole the other day he shot a 12 . . . and birdie that sucker!

Both are top tier players, however one of them just happens to be a wiley veteran as well!

We had a ton of good wins, but we also have too many bad losses. Yet our margin is clearly much thinner than it is for most teams. It puts Waz in a tough spot; you need to schedule well for RPI, yet you need easier games to break in new players. I would like to think our body of work...especially in the last month is better than No. 12 or No. 13...

Sabrina is transformational... She does whatever her TEAM needs!

Yep, Clark is a transformational once in a generation player, just sooooo much better than Sabs.

Beavis does have a pedigree in baseball, so maybe OBD's sweep of them should matter more? The L's to Oregon look to be "Good" losses when it comes to that. Beavis didn't lose to Portland; they did lose twice to Nebraska.

Sorry to disagree, but the NCAA rules are pretty specific and support the Liberty coach's decision to contest the calls. She noted a glitch, perhaps on film review, in how Kai lifted her lead foot off the base even though she wasn't leaving early or getting a jump on the pitch. Once Luschar was no longer in contact with the base, she was in violation of the strict interpretation of the rules. From the NCAA Rulebook: 12.6 Base Runner Is Out 12.6.1 When she leaves the base she is occupying before the pitch is released and the defensive coach does not take the result of the play. 12.14 Leaving A Base 12.14.1 A runner may not leave the base she attained at the conclusion of play once the ball is in the pitcher’s possession in the pitcher’s circle. DL took advantage of a loophole in the 12 men on the field rule to help defeat Ohio State at Autzen. The NCAA then changed the rulebook to close that loophole. That's just smart coaching, and I give Dot Richardson the nod for exploiting it. The softball rules may need a revamp, but I suspect that runners will just make sure they always stay in contact with the base before trying to steal. I'm thankful that these calls didn't hurt Oregon and that the issue will be addressed before the WS games, where they could have been devastating.

You can look at D1Baseball's Projections right here, and below are some of my observations about other teams. In the B1G, only Oregon is hosting, as UCLA lost their Regional Seed, and will travel to No. 11 Clemson as a No. 2 Regional Seed! USC is in, but traveling to the Corvallis Regional to face Beavis, UC Irvine and St. Mary's. Nebraska is being "watched" as they play UCLA for the B1G Tourney Championship at noon today. Stunner: Oregon beat Oregon State four times, has won 15 of the their last 17 games, but Beavis gets a higher national seed than the Ducks at No. 9? Oregon opponents Rhode Island and Columbia are predicted to be in the NCAA field. Again...these are projections, and the actual bracket comes out tomorrow morning. Dominic Hellman Crushing the Beavers Did Not Matter?

Very happy to see this, Oregon Softball and Volleyball are extremely competitive, we just saw what the Women's Golf team did. Go, Lady Ducks!

It's time to say, "Buh bye to byes!"

I combined another thread begun by OBD member sports fan, and below is what he wrote: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 64 team field will be revealed tomorrow. The Ducks will know who and where they will play. On the D 1 Baseball website released today, Oregon is currently projected as a # 13 seed. They will start the series in Eugene against Arizona, Connecticut and North Dakota State. D 1 Baseball also released an up to date RPI rankings. Here are the results. Arizona # 27, Connecticut # 40 and North Dakota State # 152. The Ducks RPI is # 16. This is all speculation until the final tournament games are completed today. Although Oregon has had a great season, knocking off the Beavs in a four game sweep and taking two of three against the Bruins, the selection committee also looks at who they lost too. Listed below are the teams that beat the Ducks and their RPI rankings. UCLA 11 Nebraska 55 Rhode Island 67 Michigan 71 Rutgers 86 Minnesota 107 Grand Canyon 108 Maryland 127 Toledo 130 Michigan St. 141 Portland 178 We lost twice to the Pilots. Ohio St. 231 We lost twice to the Buckeyes

You can read the article from 247 right here, but the bottom line is that both D1Baseball and Baseball America have dropped their predictions of Oregon's seeding tomorrow to much worse than I ever thought possible. Yes, we would still host an NCAA Regional at PK Park, but one loss killed our National Seed hopes. Never mind that Oregon has won 15 of their last 17 games, so we had to win the B1G Tournament for a National Seed? Only winning 14 in a row will do it? Boy, if you do NOT want to award something, any reason will do. When the first one come along--we gotcha! From the Article: Following the completion of the Big Ten Tournament, D1Baseball.com has moved Oregon out of the Top 8 national seed to No. 13 overall, hosting a Eugene Regional against two-seed Big-12 Champion Arizona (39-18, 18-12), three-seed Connecticut (38-21, 17-4), and four-seed North Dakota State (20-32, 13-15). Baseball America has moved Oregon to the No. 12 overall seed with two-seed Big-12 Champion Arizona (39-18, 18-12), three-seed Kentucky (29-24, 13-17), and four-seed North Dakota State (20-32, 13-15). Oregon's NCAA Tournament schedule will be unveiled on Monday, May 26th, during the Selection Monday special on ESPN2 starting at 9 AM PT. PK Park
