Thanks Jon. Of course, you are "preaching to the choir". This article would never fly south of the Mason-Dixon. The only thing I don't like about "Plan" is all of the automatic qualifiers. It feels no different than saying the SEC is the best, therefore they should have had all the teams they were trying to argue and whine into the field this last playoff. The Plan calls for two automatic qualifiers for the ACC. They barely got one in this last year, and that only because the the committee reversed their half season long putting ND in front of Miami. If it was up to ND, the ACC would not have had any qualifiers... And I am FINE with that... if they don't deserve it. I do think that Miami deserved it, but did a SECOND team? If we were in the Plan, the ACC would have their two highest ranked teams when other teams could have deserved it more. I don't think the SEC or the B1G deserve 4 automatic qualifiers if the top 4 teams in the Big 12 are ranked higher. Yeah, Yeah... but anything can happen. Two G6 teams were qualifiers this year because both were ranked higher than the ACC Champion. Anything can happen.

Big Tournament to start the season! Great to start with such a pitching win. Playing No. 12 Clemson right now...

Yep, since they can't cheat anymore, the B1G is objectively and subjectively the best conference.

Duck baseball fans, we are a week away from the opening pitch. I am looking forward to a potential successful season. The one thing that I have a problem with is opening at home in the cold Pacific Northwest. Did you know that Oregon, UCLA and USC are the only B1G schools starting the season at home? I can see the Bruins and Trojans playing at home in the the warmth of Southern California, but why Oregon? All the other B1G schools are starting their season on the road. Wouldn't it be beneficial to both players, coaches and fans to start the season in some warmer weather? One other game that I will have a mild interest in is following the Portland Pilots, as they square off against the Purdue Boilermakers in a four game series in Sugarland, Texas.

Financially, what made Oregon competitive in the first place was not fans in the seats, but the ambitious $$ of big time donors driven by love of school and the desire to succeed. Perhaps the Athletic Dept. is looking in the wrong place?

"MY" Patriots, of course.

SEC is 2-7 in the playoffs the last three years against other P4 opponents. Both wins from Texas in the '24-'25 playoff against Clemson and ASU. The SEC hasn't beaten a BIG opponent in that stretch.

"Heavy on the Mister." Yes, Jon and other guest writers submit the articles in an email, and then I take it from there. I load it into WordPress, add the formatting, and sometimes tweak a few sentences for clarity and then go search for pictures. So yeah...I serve as a copy editor-light. As I recall...you are a writer/editor, and anytime you or ANYONE has something to say...write it up and email it to me. I'll publish it!

I find this to be an issue. Not making a judgement.

😮 Oregon football season-ticket holders will see a significant price increase heading into the 2026 season, leading some Duck fans to consider whether renewing their seats at Autzen Stadium is financially feasible going forward. Tickets are up an average of 15.33% over last year in total cost across the various price points, according to data shared with The Oregonian/OregonLive. That includes an average ticket face value increase of 14.64% and a 24.03% boost in required contributions to the Duck Athletic Fund. For some, this means hundreds or even thousands of dollars more per year to keep their seats — some of which have been held for decades One Ducks fan who asked not to be named for this story said he and his family declined to renew, as their season tickets went up $150 per seat. “The mandatory donation made it impossible,” he said. oregonliveOregon says significant increase to football season-ticke...The total price of season tickets at Autzen Stadium is up an average of more than 15%.

"Mr. Fischer"? I see what you did there.

Given who we have coming back, this class seems like a pretty ideal mix between portal and HS. I won’t mention in great detail, but suffice it to say, Beavis ended up with the #7 class in their new conference. Ouch. Pretty rough finishing behind CSU and Utah State who both also just hired a new staff.

Seahawks win 31-13 2 TO 3 Sacks 289 passing yards As always: GO DUCKS!

This round is another victory for the B1G imo. The SEC (and ACC) just injected a whole bunch of losses into the mix by going to 9 game conference schedules in 2026 without an ironclad SOS formula being part of the mix. Everything else is pretty much status quo. To date, I see little evidence that SOS is directly impactful in an objective way. It seems like the SOS logic remains the same…SEC teams will be on the bubble at 9 wins, all others at 10 wins. Number of losses will directly impact the weekly polls, which in turn seems to ultimately influence the playoff committee imo. Number of wins is still king.

Great article Jon, and more proof that regardless of performance on the field...that the National Champion is from the Big-10 for the third year in a row, and B1G teams beat SEC teams, and showed our new depth-- yet none of it matters when the polls come out.

Shane Lemieux is on the practice squad for the Seahawks.

SEC trying desperately to maintain the illusion that, on an even playing field, they actually were that much more dominate than any other conference. When in reality they have ran a successful "ad campaign" (anchored by Paul Fawnbaum) in addition with "creative" (cheating) roster building; and the actuality of competing on an even playing field is shattering that illusion of dominance top to bottom. May not be "noble", but I am so here for it all? GO DUCKS! & The B1G!
