SEC apologists will look at strength of schedule and say 9 of the top 10 hardest schedules are SEC teams. Ohio State is the first B1G member at number 8. My problem with this is the numbers are skewed because if you have the 9 best rated teams than of course the SOS is going to be higher when they play each other. Many SEC programs get overrated because of the myth of the league. Truth is the those sos numbers are a joke when 3 loss teams are viewed as top 15 teams. Ole Miss, Missouri, Texas A&M, LSU, South Carolina, Tennessee,Texas, Georgia, and Alabama were top 15 most of the year. But teams lost to the likes of Kentucky, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Florida, and Vanderbilt. Oregon went undefeated. Ohio State lost at Oregon, and in a rivalry game to Michigan. Penn State lost to Oregon and Ohio State. Indiana lost at Ohio State. If Ole Miss, South Carolina, Alabama, or LSU belonged in the playoff they wouldn't have lost three times. Each having a far worse loss than anything the four B1G members had. People in Dixieland are so used to Sankey getting his way that it's almost incomprehensible that Petiti won't just give in. There's no way the SEC will lose in this battle of the wills. There's too much money to be lost, so Petiti needs to fold completely for the good of everyone. You know why? Because all the SEC coaches told Greg that going to a nine game schedule would cost them their jobs. It's just too hard to drop SunBelt November and play an extra conference game. I mean it's just the way it is🥸 Please. I hope Petiti stands his ground, more SEC programs need the expanded revenue than the B1G. Florida has to play FSU every year while Georgia gets Georgia Tech and everybody outside South Carolina doesn't have to worry about a big time OOC rivalry game. Who does Ole Miss play? Alabama at least usually schedules one tough game in September, but nobody else does. Everybody else has their rivalries included in those 8 conference games. I'd welcome the ninth game, I mean Florida already plays Georgia, LSU, and Tennessee every year. Ditching Miami for Arkansas or Missouri wouldn't be too terrible. Stand your ground B1G. Make the SEC give up something to get the format it wants. Sooner or later the pressure will build.

I've been waiting for the season to start before commenting on Makhi Hughes as a new running back for Oregon. However, I have started looking at his film while at Tulane. I'm really impressed with this running back. I'm not the only one impressed with Makhi. Pro Football Focus is raving about this great transfer for Oregon.

Checking in with the Oregon Ducks OL room ahead of the 2025 season Overall Oregon Ducks Offensive Line Check-In The standard has been set astronomically high for the offensive line in Eugene, thanks to back-to-back Joe Moore Award finalists under OL coach A'Lique Terry. Getting back to that level of play will be a tall task this year, as the Ducks have just one returning starter among the front five — center Iapani Laloulu. Around him, Oregon will use a mix of transfers and home-grown talent to fill out the starting five, and likely utilize the first couple of games of the year to figure out the best combination of players to do so. There is a ton of talent at the position with the likes of Isaiah World and Emmanuel Pregnon anchoring the left side, but how cohesive everything will be together is yet to be seen.

4-star CB Davon Benjamin puts Oregon Ducks among top schools ahead of commitment Oregon is currently the favorite to land Benjamin, but the Wolverines have been making a strong push for him over the last month, and it could come down to the wire to land the blue-chip prospect. Oregon is also currently the heavy favorite to land Geralds, who is rated as the No. 75 player and No. 9 DL in the class. 4-star CB Davon Benjamin puts Oregon Ducks among top schools ahead of commitment

They tried to SMU their way in. Maybe if they forgo five years of any payout from television revenue it might work. I guess that PAC Who invite isn't as prestigious, as Memphis is willing to go paying 200 million plus to get in the "truck stop conference".

It will never happen….

You bet, coming back to play Texas State instead of Duke.

If Memphis was willing to buy their way in with that much $$$ behind them, and get rejected, imagine the $$$ threshold that UNLV, OSU, WSU would have to offer to get a sniff from the Big12.

I doubt either "comes back." But, for the Beavis folks who believe that they will, they assume that when they come back they will still have the same status as when both were members of the 2023-24 Pac12. That is an error in logic, in my opinion. If they come back they will have accepted the notion that they no longer care about being a Power 4 level program. They will not bring prestige to the new Pac because they will no longer be evaluated to be at that former level. It will be akin to saying, "we are now at the Fresno State and San Diego State level." Rather than, Fresno and SDSU claiming they have increased prestige from their association with Cal/Stanford.

Clark’s apology was weak and insincere. Came off badly. He’s had anger issues in the past. He needs to work on it. His final round yesterday was amazing. He is immensely talented, and learning to keep his composure will help him going forward.

They probably should have checked this: From Oregonon SI The Oregon Ducks will send tight end Kenyon Sadiq, linebacker Bryce Boettcher and offensive lineman Matayo Uiagalelei to Las Vegas, Nevada, for the three-day event, which spans from July 22-24.

No wonder they're bitter, they are Beavis.

The Fight for the Pop Tart Bowl!

Neither Cal or Stanford care enough about football to make the financial commitment necessary to compete seriously at national level. Their addition wouldn't raise the bar much in any case. The "Pac" whatever will never be considered a power conference. They will be lucky to get lower bowl bids. Mr JC is completely delusional. Got to appreciate his attempts to garner attention and beat that Pac(St)eight drum though. He is relentless, in a most enjoyable and humorous way.

The Big-12 media contract is 33 million per school, compared to our B1G media payout of 54 million. The Big-12 cannot afford to split it further... Imagine if we had taken the Apple deal at 24 million...or even ESPN's at 30 million. We would be like Beavis...

He seems to have some nice mobility around the basket, and he can sure dunk!

From an article in The Athletic... "Big 12 athletic directors recently met on the idea, and conference presidents talked about it on Monday. But the determination was that the league is not interested. One source said there was “very little momentum for this,” and multiple league sources expressed concern that adding Memphis could “dilute” the league’s value in the next television deal."

Pretty good separation between No.9 USC and No.10 Washington, 53 points, I'd have the order reversed,
