How the Ducks will be dealing with early kickoff and long flight. https://247sports.com/college/oregon/article/how-the-ducks-will-be-dealing-with-an-early-kickoff-and-long-flight-253800341/ I love the attitude of Offensive Linemen! "Starting early, starting fast," said Oregon senior offensive lineman Emmanuel Pregnon. "That's what I'm thinking about preparing for such an early game. When I come out on Saturday, I'm punching somebody in the mouth."

I think they looked at what Notre Dame got as an Independent. I would say go Independent if that's the case, but that would set off a chain of consequences. Why doesn't the B1G and SEC just make Notre Dame join a league? College football would survive without Notre Dame being in the playoff. You can't have a playoff without multiple big brands though. I want four power leagues, we already have super leagues if you look at the size of these conferences. You've got it good in the B1G Ohio State. Don't be a malcontent like Texas and ruin it for everybody. You need a Purdue, Northwestern, Rutgers,UCLA, or Maryland to pad your statistics.

I've been staying in touch with 30Duck, who has a tech issue and thus why he has not posted in a while. He hopes to be back in a few weeks, but he did give me HIS prediction... Oregon 46-14 Two Turnovers Two Sacks 268 Passing yards

Hello My OBD FishDuck Forum Friends! What is your prediction of Oregon versus Northwestern? Take your shot and let's have fun with it... Let's get these predictions started, and remember I look for the differential between your predicted points with both teams from the actual points. I will use the tiebreaker information when needed, so provide all the data below! Entries without ALL the information are invalid, and predictions on other threads don't count. We Have Two New Rules: If two winning scores are the same? The first one who posted wins, automatically. TerryM9 gets 42-6 locked in every time as his. (I love this guy!) Please follow directions, as I need all that is below for tiebreakers: --the winner --the score --the amount of turnovers Oregon creates --the number of sacks Oregon records on the opposing team --the number of passing yards by the Ducks. My prediction is: Oregon 48-13 2 3 251

Updated CFB QB rankings. Dante is up to No. 3 without having thrown a pass in the 4th quarter.😍 https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2025/09/11/college-football-quarterback-rankings-carson-beck/86078091007/

We will see more P4 vs P4 out-of-conference games canceled. SEC teams are likely to follow Florida after the SEC went to nine conference games. Like Florida, I think most SEC teams bargained for cancellations without penalty if the SEC went to nine. The SEC does require its teams to play one P4 opponent in addition to nine conference opponents. I expect that the Wake Forest switchboard is melting down.😁 One reason Tony Petitti wants an AQ PO format is so marque OOC games will be scheduled.

Pressure? Pressure! Six College Football Programs Under The Most Pressure in Week 3

Well said. Though some might argue UCLA having Sam Gilbert and a lucrative NIL program as early as 1964 helped too 🙂🙂

Cristobal's 2020 class. It still has 5 guys in year six of college ball: • Robbie Ashford (Wake Forest) • Kris Hudson (Arizona) • Justin Flowe (UNLV) • Jaylan Jeffers (UCLA) • Jonathan Denis (Louisiana Tech) Very mixed results for a class ranked #14: Noah Sewell seems to be doing well with the Bears, TJ Bass is a backup OG for Dallas, Harper and Manning were contributors at Oregon, I think Bennett Williams is playing in Canada. I think like 17 out of the 22 commits either transferred or washed out.

The economics game has two separate aspects of success. Your share of the pie and the size of the pie. Most people focus on their share of the pie which is the greedy aspect. Mine! Mine! Mine! I think the more important aspect is the size of the pie. This requires working together to build interest the most interest in the product to generate the most revenue. Weather it's pop music, auto sales or sports, consumer interest in the product needs to come before which brand of product people prefer. I've said this many times before on many threads but without the enthusiasm of the Northwesterns, Wake Forests and Texas Techs out there, the pie will shrink which will lower the value per piece down the road. Without scrappy underdog upsets or TCUs rising up to championship games periodically, the average fan will tune out and just watch the NFL. March Madness understands this and that's why college basketball has the best playoff format around. Every team in the country has a chance to make a deep run in any given year. Before the 80's the same eight teams basically played each other every year which is why UCLA won so many championships in a row. The ACC adopted the inequal pie slice model to keep their conference together but where would Ohio St go? The SEC? Does USC pull the same move next? Grow the pie and everybody eats. Hog the oie and watch it disappear.

Will the Ducks Play Like America's Best Team Again? https://collegefootballnews.com/college-football/oregon-vs-northwestern-prediction-preview-2025

Some dudes come back after being written off. Robbie Ashford is having a decent game tonight for Wake Forest (not counting the pick six). Sometimes all a player needs is a good coach and the right system.

With all due respect to each poster on this thread, and the one about Dakorian Moore, I humbly think we are all asking the wrong question. I think we should be asking “Did we underestimate Dan Lanning?” And “Expectations of Will Stein.” Coach Lanning has shown an obvious talent for learning from his mistakes, and coach Stein is one of the most innovative and dynamic coordinators in college football. Finally in year 4 Lanning has a full roster of “his guys”, who are familiar with his defensive scheme. On offense, he and coach Stein have a returning QB who is familiar with the system. With a dynamic WR who was here in the spring. All of these things are a 1st this year, which is why I believe we are seeing such great things so early. As a greybeard myself(52 and born and raised in Eugene) trusting a staff to have the best roster, have them prepared, and have them play to their dynamic potential is something I’ve never had the opportunity to do. The Kelly years were great, but we knew if we came up against the big boys, it was usually not gonna go our way. I’m trying not to care about the results and “trust the process” as coach says. I remember at his introductory press conference he said something like “Don’t judge us on what we say, but judge us on what we do. He’s done a whole lot from recruiting, to being a great spokesman for the university, to turning down Ala-freaking-bama!!! My friends the sky’s the limit and yes, I think even we have underestimated Coach Lanning!!! God bless you all, even if we disagree I know we agree on our beloved Ducks!!! Saturday can’t get here fast enough.
