Pamela, early execution, late-game anxiety? Please, keep your love life issues to yourself. 😁

He was the Idaho State Champion in the 100 meters as a junior. Solid straight line speed gives him a decent chance to see the field.

SWEET. As Charles noted, Illinois is No. 21 and will be favored to win at Wisconsin on Saturday and then at home vs Northwestern. No. 18 Michigan should win at Maryland Saturday, and if not blown out by Ohio State, stay ranked on 12/7 at 9-3. USC at 15th is also great for OBD. Even with a loss Saturday, a 3-loss SC should remain in the top 25 next week and in the final top 25 at 9-3 with a win over UCLA. No. 13 Miami would be the 11 seed and No. 24 Tulane the 12th seed. No. 11 BYU and No. 12 Utah would be knocked out, and Bama at No. 10 would be on the PO cusp with a game left at Auburn. One ACC and one B12 team would be in the 2025-26 PO field. If the 12-team field continues in 2026-27 and the chips fall the same way, as is likely, by not supporting Petitti's format, the ACC and B12 would miss out on millions of dollars plus PO play-in game dollars. Notre Dame would be in the field as an at-large team if it finishes in the top 16. Why is Notre Dame opposed to the AQ format? December 1st is the latest date a new PO format has to be agreed to, or it's 12 teams next season. However, if back-channel negotiations are going on, I expect ESPN and TNT would extend the 12/1 date. Wake Up! Sankey's 5-11 format is good for the SEC, and that's all.

ESPN jumped the shark about 15 years ago. They should go back to showing darts and billiards and drop every talking head opinion shoutdown show. More ESPN Ocho!

It can be fun to speculate on matchups but the final poll will not look like this one. I guess I've gotten old (61) because I currently only care about us winning our next two games and getting into the playoffs. Who we play is not as important as making sure we are part of the field. Unfortunately with the narrative that the selection committee and ESPN is spinning we must win our last two games. I realize that OBD will probably be 1-3 spots below were we deserve to be in the final rankings.

Bama @ Autzen? I'm ready. Just win out and keep the dream alive.

They won't get to hold it.... It'll just make them angry.

I saw this coming... And it's fine. Making the playoff is clear and easy. Just win.

This is almost perfect. Since we aren't getting a bye, I want the 7 or 6 seed, anything to stay away from tOSU, I would love another shot at Indiana.

This would put us opposite Ohio State, and in the Indiana side of the bracket. Six or seven is what I'd like, and it was nice to see Illinois make the top 25 for six Big-10 teams. (Of course the SEC has nine! Right)

OREGON ATHLETIC COMMUNICATIONS FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2025 OREGON FOOTBALL | @oregonfootball Ducks Up To No. 7 In CFP Rankings EUGENE, Ore. — The Oregon football team moved up one spot in the College Football Playoff rankings for the second week in a row on Tuesday, coming in at No. 7 with two weeks remaining in the regular season. The No. 7 Ducks (9-1, 6-1 Big Ten) will square off against No. 15 USC (8-2, 6-1 Big Ten) this Saturday at 12:30 p.m. PT in Autzen Stadium (CBS). Oregon is one of three Big Ten teams in the CFP top 10, along with No. 1 Ohio State and No. 2 Indiana, and one of six in the top 25 with No. 15 USC, No. 18 Michigan and No. 21 Illinois also included. The Ducks have now made 14 consecutive appearances in the CFP top 10 dating back to 2023, and 27 straight appearances in the CFP top 25 dating back to 2020. Oregon has again established itself as one of the most well-rounded teams in the nation, entering Week 13 as one of just three FBS teams in the top 15 for scoring offense (7th, 39.0 PPG), total offense (11th, 475.4 YPG), scoring defense (6th, 13.7 PPG) and total defense (3rd, 235.4 YPG). Additionally, UO owns the nation's top passing defense at 127.3 yards allowed per game, and ranks eighth in rushing offense at 233.6 yards per game. Oregon has also been one of the nation's top teams in terms of explosive plays on both sides of the ball, leading the country in fewest plays of 20-plus yards allowed (17) while ranking second in offensive plays of 20-plus yards (72). Oregon's overall team grade of 94.1 by Pro Football Focus is fifth-best nationally and third-best in the Big Ten. UO is currently tied for No. 6 in the Associated Press poll while coming in at No. 5 in the US LBM coaches poll. College Football Playoff Top 25 - Nov. 18 1. Ohio State (10-0) 2. Indiana (11-0) 3.

On the USC side of the trophy, can it say “we love living in the past” and list all their awards from the leather helmet days? USC has only beaten Oregon once in the last 13 years.

No thanks. I don’t want to give USC the dignity.

Damn...it would anger more people than it would reward.

How about Reggie Bush’s Heisman trophy?

"These are the teams that look great on paper until you force them to respond to adversity," the description for the fragile teams tier read. "They fade in the second half, shrink in the fourth and survive games but don't control them." "Oregon was listed as a fragile team. Her reasoning: "Early execution, but late-game anxiety." Thank you Pamela for giving Dan Lanning excellent bulletin board material.

Considering that Oregon has already secured the No. 3 and No. 20 receiver in the nation in the 2026 class already....they must really see some upside with this player.

Tez is 5' 10" 165?

oregonliveOregon flips 3-star receiver Hudson LewisOregon added a third receiver to its 2026 recruiting class.Coach Ross has been working on him for a while so this isn't unexpected. At 5'10" and 175 lbs I view him as a slot receiver and depth addition more than anything. However he has the high school stats to show that he could eventually develop into something more.

And yet, Indiana is not considered "fragile" after allowing a 3 & 6 Penn State team to score 14 points and take the lead in the 4th quarter, with a back up quarterback at the helm? This writer is...

Should MIA be PO Golden and the Golden Domers PO MIA? https://sports.yahoo.com/college-football/breaking-news/article/college-football-playoff-committee-facing-its-biggest-decision-yet-this-season-notre-dame-or-miami-180903079.html

Not to throw shade on a 90% game, but Mendoza has had three of them this season. 22/24 = 91.6 (Wisc), 21/23 = 91.3 (Ill)& 19/20 = 95% (Ind St). Hard to believe this is Oregon's first ever.

And yet, Texas A&M is not considered "fragile" even though they had to squeak out a miraculous 1 point victory over a hapless 3 & 6 SC team? This writer is not only clueless, she is blatantly biased.

The Grapevine Gurus will grace us with their 3rd reveal this evening, between ESPN's broadcasts of two CBB games. There are plenty of reasons to dump on the NCAA, but the NCAA knows how to put on postseason playoffs for teams and individuals. ACC, B12, and SEC broadcast buddy on the other hand? The NCAA does not confuse its postseason football events with a Bowl Bonanza. Teams play at home until the championship game. Four of the ESPN PO games, and usually five, are played in Dixie. Last week, Austin Mock's PO Mock correctly predicted 24 of the committee's 25 ranked teams and their order of ranking. Here's Mock's PO Field projection for this evening, including strength-of-record and strength-of-schedule rankings to date. 1. Ohio State - 10-0 - 4 SOR/71 SOS - vs. Rutgers 2. Indiana - 11-0 - 2/48 - Bye 3. A&M - 10-0 - 1/20 - Sam (not Stan) ford. 4. Georgia - 9-1 - 3/15 - Charlotte - Frankly, my Dear, I don't give a damn about this game! 5. Texas Tech - 10-1 - 7/49 - Bye 6. Ole Miss - 10-1 - 5/31 - Bye - Ole Miss already defeated Wazzu by 3 😁 7. OREGON - 9-1 - 10/60 - Thank you, Penn and OK State - No. 14 USC 8. Oklahoma - 8-2 - 11/10 - No. 21 Missouri 9. Alabama - 8-2 - 8/13 - Eastern Illinois - The Fighting Panthers - not the Fighting Illini 10. Notre Dame - 8-2 - 9/24 - Syracuse 11. Georgia Tech (ranked 15th) - 9-1 - 15/83 - Pittsburgh 12. North Texas (ranked 23rd) - 9-1 - 23/120 - at Rice Other B1G teams ranked - No. 17 Michigan, No. 25 Illinois - UW No. 27 1st 2 out: No. 11 BYU and No. 12 Utah - make no mistake, this would have them buzzing in the Beehive State 🤢 Ruin Riley! School SC!

There didn't seem to be much, if any, support info to Mal's arguement or point of view. I would ask her if she actually watched any of the Duck games or the 3 she commented on? Most likely she did......or she would have seen, for example the 3's and 4's playing in many 4th quarters. What weak butt commenting....... As an avid Duck for what feels like centuries, I admit I was disappointed that the team let PSU and Iowa back in the game. CLOSE THESE TEAMS OUT! However, if anyone watched those games, the word fragile would not come up. PSU, Iowa and Oregon all showed grit, fight and determination. Fortuneately, OBD's prevailed. The Ducks and IU were tied at 20-20 midway in the 4th. WS had a brain fart 4th quarter on play calling and let his team down. Nothing fragile about that! Just impatience on Steins part. Lame comes to mind! On this thread the only thing that was fragile was her homework on her comments and my comments. That fragile article and premise should be on the bulletin board in and out of the Duck locker room. Go Ducks.....
