Previously, we looked at FanDuel’s odds for teams to make the 2025-26 College Football (CFB) Playoffs (PO) and whether a team’s strength of schedule (SOS) matched the odds. Several teams favored to make the Playoff had minus odds. For instance, Clemson at -128 means you would have to wager $128 to win $100 plus the return of your bet. All ...

After working for years as a software engineer, I've said this on many occasions: "it's amazing how something so smart can also be so dumb."

And, LOL! Not at you, of course, but at another great GIF. 😁

Happy Birthday Charles! And thank you, for me it is one stop shopping!

I break rivalries into two very different categories; the first are the ones that bring the bile of vomit up my throat, and that is of course... Huskies Trojans Beavis (in Baseball) The second category is "want" to beat them, their arrogant fans, etc., and I really only get that vibe from... Ohio State Michigan I agree with HDuck, in that it takes more time to develop the hatred, more wins by Our Beloved Ducks over those usual B1G heavyweights. We are in elite company now, and we will be in some blockbuster games over the next number of years!

My Beloved Duck-Buddies, we have had an issue here on the forum since Saturday morning, and I was not able to get help until now. Pretty hard to contain my frustration, but without going into details...people on chrome often could not see the site and got an "Error" page when they came to the site. The only way to solve it was to clear everyone's Google Chrome cookies that automatically populated the password for you when you sign in. This means you have to sign in again, and mark "OK" when the password manager asks if it should remember your password. Please....email me for your password if you cannot remember it or cannot find it ONLY after you have looked diligently. BTW...if you put in for a new password, you will NOT receive an email as it says. You have to email me at charles@fishduck.com for a new password, and include your phone number, name and handle name for in case we have a snag. And once you are signed in, you do NOT have to sign out. Just leave and click out of the page, and when you come back--you are automatically signed in. There is no danger here in doing that... No problem, not frustrated at all...

Word on the street is he has been kicked off the team. However, I’m also seeing posts that say it’s just a suspension. Either way, it’s not good.

Jurrion Dickey is the Duck allegedly suspended indefinitely.

I am currently in Galway Ireland and saw this banner tonight at 10:00pm. It says K-State, I saw one earlier that said K- S State. We will be flying home from Dublin on Saturday the 23rd, the day of the game. If I was paying attention when I was planning the trip I would have stayed an extra day for the game.

From AI source: Dakorien Moore, a five-star wide receiver committed to Oregon, is not currently suspended. The news circulating about a suspension refers to Sherrone Moore, the Michigan football coach, who received a self-imposed suspension for the first two weeks of the 2025 season. Dakorien Moore is a highly-touted recruit who flipped his commitment from LSU to Oregon in May 2024. My best to McNutt and I hope he continues to love UO

It has only been out there for an hour or two. Possibly my post should be deleted until better confirmed. I did see the McNutt stuff out there yesterday, so that proved accurate, but maybe jumping the gun 😐

Oregon Ducks Suffer Key Injury In Fall Camp To Former 5-Star RecruitThe Oregon Ducks have reportedly suffered a major injury in fall camp as freshman defensive back Trey McNutt has broken his leg. A member of Oregon's 2025 recruiting class, McNutt was a five-star prospect coming out of high school. Oregon Ducks On SIOregon Ducks Suffer Key Injury In Fall Camp To Former 5-S...The Oregon Ducks have reportedly suffered a major injury to the secondary. According to On3’s Pete Nakos, Ducks freshman defensive back Trey McNutt broke his ri

The AP Poll began its ranking of college football teams in 1936. This is the closest margin between the 1st and 2nd-ranked teams in the history of the poll.

Scrap - 12, David you do realize the S is silent along with 1!

The Oregon Ducks were overjoyed to secure a commitment from one of the top rated defensive backs in the country, five-star recruit Trey McNutt. Unfortunately, it seems as if it will be quite a while until McNutt is ready to take the field for Oregon. According to Pete Nakos of On3, McNutt sustained a broken leg during training camp and will miss significant time during the 2025 season, if not the entire campaign. It's not yet clear how long he'll be out, but it's a big loss for the Ducks who were hoping to see the true freshman contribute right out the gate. McNutt was rated as a five-star safety and the No. 2 player at his position on 247 Sports's composite rankings. He was also heralded as the No. 2 player in the state of Ohio. His recruitment came down to Oregon and Ohio State, but he stunned the Buckeyes by committing to join Dan Lanning & Co. in the Pacific Northwest. Fortunately, the Ducks are well equipped at safety after landing one of the top defensive backs in the transfer portal this year. Ex-Purdue standout Dillon Thieneman transferred to Oregon during the offseason, and the injury to McNutt will likely result in an even bigger workload for the upperclassman. McNutt was one of three five-star recruits in the Ducks' recruiting class of 2025, joining the likes of wide receiver Dakorien Moore and cornerback Na'eem Offord.

I would love that. I know it makes zero financial sense for the B1G but if Cal and Stanford were added to the B1G and there was a west coast pod I'd be incredibly happy. I won't miss the Arizona schools or CU or Utah as much as I miss playing the old Pac-8. And I am not old enough to have any concept of the Pac-8 but that's where the West coast football tradition lived and it could be felt. As for OSU and WSU... Yeah... They'll need to invest a ton to get P4 recognition. But I'd love to see Oregon v Washington and USC every year.

There are a lot of crap shoots in the first half of their schedule. Fresno is in a reset, Cal seems to have lost their good players, but they drubbed Beavis last year. Trip to Boone won’t be a sure win by any stretch. 0-6 is certainly not impossible, but I’m guessing a couple of their first 6 opponents will end up being terrible teams and Beavis will end up starting 2-4, then hope to stay healthy enough to finish up 4-2 down the stretch. All very difficult to forecast given the portal world, but one would think any P4 team should be bringing in better new players than Beavis.

That QB transfer from Duke might make a diff. But he is not very bright apparently - sure Duke is a BB school, but it's still Duke!!! and their FB program is looking up - just see what their last QB transfer did at the right school. So I think the rodents will win a few games this year, maybe barely have a winning record, considering their weak schedule. All I care is OBD blowing them out of the water when we meet up.

Hope DG gets to start in the next game and shine. I hope he turns out like Rusell Wilson, who is also exactly 5' 11". 🤞

Pawallll! Only 10 SEC teams ranked! Call Greg Sankey and his It Just Means More cops! Six B1Gs ranked, plus USC, Nebraska, and Iowa in Others Receiving Votes. If this ranking, which it won't be, were the PO committee's final ranking on 12/7/25, it would be a Day of Infamy for No. 12 Illinois, bumped out of the PO field by No. 25 Boise State. This would have B1G commissioner Petitti staying with automatic qualifiers if the PO is to expand. No. 7 OBD would open at home against No. 10 Mari-Oh-Oh and his Canes. 😁 As Gat noted above, it's a Power 2 world with the 4-ranked teams B12 (proving the rankings go too deep), and the 3-ranked ACC teams trying to hold on. 1st time for Texas to be ranked No. 1 in the preseason AP Poll and the 1st time the No.1 ranked team is not the favorite in its opening game.

Locksley went way over the coach-speak line at B1G media days when he said he lost the locker room in 2024, over NIL paid players lording it over the 'peasants.' The only thing Maryland has done of football note happened in 1962, when Maryland coach Lee Corso brought in an African American transfer, Darryl Hill, from the Naval Academy and integrated the ACC. Iowa QB Gronowski was raised in Illinois, but he played at and transferred in from South Dakota State. The only reason I note this is because Lincoln Kienholz, who grew up in South Dakota where he was all-state in football and baseball, is in a battle with Julian Sayin for the starting QB job at Ohio State. (Or at least a battle to make it harder for Sark to game plan?) Two B1G starters with ties to South Dakota would be unique. Only 11 more days before CFB kicks off in Dublin, Ireland. 😍
