There are five different ranking/polling services for College Baseball, but I follow D1Baseball to be consistent in all my references and they provide a ton of information about the sport. (If you buy their subscription as this deranged fan did) Oregon has moved into their ranking at No. 21, while Beavis is at No. 17, the Trojans are at No. 13, and UCLA is still No. 1 in the nation. When I look at the Big-10 standings, it is four teams that have already separated themselves from the rest in the conference. As usual, it is the three west coast teams, (UCLA, USC and Oregon) along with Nebraska, as the Cornhuskers and the Trojans will be coming to PK Park later in the season. UCLA (17-2, 6-0) Nebraska (14-5, 3-0) USC (19-1, 5-1) Oregon (17-3, 5-1) USC pitching has been extraordinary, but they finally lost a game and it was to our upcoming opponent, Northwestern in Evanston in the snow over the weekend. (2-1) Oregon has a good path in front of it with a mixture of teams that can be fodder for wins, and other tough ranked opponents needed for RPI impact to make the highest seed possible at the end of the season.

EUGENE, Ore. — Spring practice continued for the Oregon football team Saturday, when the Ducks held a morning workout inside Autzen Stadium. Though it was the team's second practice in three days, it was also the last for a couple of weeks. The Ducks will hit pause on spring drills for final exams and then spring break before resuming preparations for the Spring Game, to be held April 25 https://goducks.com/news/2026/3/14/football-practice-report-march-14

Four items of note from Oregon's NCAA Tournament selection and opening round matchup with Virginia TechFour items of note from Oregon's NCAA Tournament selection and opening round matchup with Virginia Tech https://247sports.com/college/oregon/article/four-items-of-note-from-oregons-ncaa-tournament-selection-and-opening-round-matchup-with-virginia-tech-277840774/

My ten losses: 10. OHIO STATE (2024 Rose Bowl): 21-41: 34-0 to start then 34-8 at half. Nearly doubled up on offense, 500 yards to 276. 9. WASHINGTON II (2023): 31-34: #3 UW versus #5 UO. Since the first game, Oregon has looked improved and the UW has had some clunkers. Oregon was as much as a 9.5 point favorite. After a slow start, Oregon actually takes a 24-20 lead late in the 3rd. The UW scores two straight TDs in the 4th, Oregon gets a late 63 yard TD from Holden but can't get the onsides kick. 8. WSU (2003): 16-55: "Rich Cool, 4-0" the previous week, beating #3 Michigan 31-27. The following week, defending Pac-10 and #21 ranked WSU came to Autzen and were up 38-2 at half. After having no interceptions on the season, Clemens throws 4 picks and Fife throws 3 and Oregon fumbles twice for 9 turnovers. Oregon adds 12 penalties. WSU only needs 399 yards of offense to put up 55. 7. ARIZONA (2007): 24-34: It started well (39 yard TD run from Dixon). Dixon's knee buckles as does Oregon's possible trip to the National Championship game. UA's Antoine Cason has a punt return for a TD and an interception return for a TD. Oregon goes on to lose 0-16 the next week to UCLA, putting up a total of 148 yards of offense and 4 TOs. 6. CALIFORNIA (2007): 24-31: 4-0 #6 Cal versus 4-0 #11 Oregon. Gameday in Eugene. Expected fireworks don't show up early and UO leads 10-3 at half. Cal behind Longshore and DeSean Jackson (11 catches for 161 and 2 TDs) takes a late 31-24 lead. Oregon roars down the field in 9 plays in 1:17 to the Cal 5. Cam Colvin catches a pass with 0:22 seconds left and reaches for the endzone and the ball comes out, fumbled through the endzone and the game ends. Cal is later headed to the #1 spot in the country when it has to insert back-up QB Kevin Riley against OSU, while late and in position to score, Riley scrambles too long and goes down and Cal, with no timeouts, can't get its FG team to tie. 5. USC (2011): 35-38: #2 Oklahoma State had lost earlier in the day and #4 Oregon was in position to move to #3 if it beat #18 USC at Autzen. LeBron was throwing passes to Carmelo on the sidelines in the pregame. Oregon falls behind 21-7 at half on a chilly evening. Oregon gets a late score from David Paulson and a 2 point conversion to Tuinei. USC drives down the field running out the clock and gets to the Oregon 11 with 2:31 left. Marc Tyler fumbles and Oregon recovers and drives 66 yards to about the USC 20. With about 0:20 left Oregon appears to settle for setting up a 37 yard FG to tie. Maldonado misses. 4. STANFORD (2001): 42-49: Oregon's only loss in its #2 ranked finish of the 2001 season. Stanford trails 42-28 into the 4th and then outscores Oregon 21-0 by converting one of two blocked punts, an interception, and an onside kick. The interception comes on 3rd and 2 from Oregon's own 30 with 4:20 on the clock with Oregon holding on 42-41. Oregon mounts a late drive to the Stanford 37 but 4 straight incompletions end the game. 3. OREGON STATE (2000): 13-23: #5 UO versus #8 OSU. Oregon wins and it returns to the Rose Bowl, a loss and it drops all the way to the Holiday Bowl. Harrington entered the game 13-1 as a starter but throws 5 interceptions (3 to Jake Cookus). Oregon ends up with 6 TOs and 12 penalties for 132 yards. Oregon outgains OSU 471 to 399 but OSU connects on a couple early scores and builds a 17-0 first half lead Oregon can't overcome. 2 UCLA (1998): 38-41 (OT): #2 UCLA (4-0) versus #11 Oregon (5-0). After Oregon's improbable Rose Bowl run in 1994, three seasons had passed and Oregon looked to be prepared to burst back upon the national scene. Akili Smith, Rueben Droughns, Tony Hartley, Damon Griffin, Jed Weaver lead a dangerous skill position group putting up 50.6 points per game and 540 yards. Droughns himself was averaging 165 yards rushing per game at 7.4 ypc. UCLA was on a 14 game winning streak and lead 24-7 at half. Oregon scored 24 straight to lead 31-24 into the 4th. UCLA went back ahead 38-31 but Oregon tied it 38-38 with a Griffin 2 yard TD pass with 0:22 seconds left. Oregon took consecutive sacks in OT for -12 yards then threw an incompletion then a desperation interception. UCLA won it with a FG. Game is partially remembered for Drougns battling for 172 yards on 25 carries; but, playing late into the game on a broken leg (he misses the rest of the season). He loses 3 fumbles, all which lead to UCLA TDs and Oregon ends up with 5 TOs. UCLA has a FG blocked and missed another from 21. At the end of the game UCLA head coach Bob Toledo comments, "Wow, that should be worth two wins." 1. STANFORD (2012): 14-17 (OT): probably Oregon's best Chip Kelly team, sitting at #2 at 10-0 with a probable National Championship date with ND waiting (tOSU was ineligible due to Tressel investigation). Ertz lands out of bounds in the back of the endzone with 1:35 remaining. The officiating booth decides to reofficiate the play rather than look for conclusive evidence to change the call. Stanford wins in OT. Oregon wins the Fiesta and finishes #2 AP. HM: TCU (Alamo Bowl 2015) 41-47 (3 OT), Washington (2016) 21-70, Cal (1983) 41-42, Stanford (2013) 20-26, ASU (2002) 42-45, UW I (2023) 33-36, Auburn (2010 NC) 19-22 Ten wins: 10 Michigan 2007 (39-7): 624 yards of offense and 36 unanswered points. 292 yards passing and 3 TDs from Dixon and 111 rushing from Stewart (Michigan, despite starting 0-2, still finishes 9-4 and ranked #18) 9 Stanford 2010 (52-31): #4 Oregon versus #9 Stanford.

Tourney Bound! Ducks Earn NCAA Tournament Bid EUGENE, Ore. – For the second straight season and the seventh time in the last nine tournaments, the Oregon women’s basketball team is NCAA Tournament bound. Oregon earned its 19th NCAA Tournament bid in school history, and seventh in the last nine tournaments under head coach Kelly Graves, as it received a No. 8 seed in the Fort Worth 3 Region. The Ducks will meet ninth-seeded Virginia Tech on Friday, March 20 at Texas’ Moody Center in Austin, Texas, the NCAA Selection Committee announced on ESPN. “It never gets old hearing your name,” said Graves. “If you’ve never experienced it, it’s pretty special. It really is. They treat you how you should be treated as a collegiate student-athlete.” In last season’s NCAA Tournament, the 10th-seeded Ducks advanced to the second round after upsetting No. 7-seed Vanderbilt before falling to host and two-seed Duke. UO was one of just two double-digit seeds to make it out of the Round of 64 in last year’s postseason. “I’ve coached in a lot of these tournaments, it’s the matchup. It’s not the name or the seeding, or any of that,” Graves added. “Your stars have to perform, but I’ve been in enough of these to know that it’s that X-factor, you never know where you might get it from. But I like our chances.” “We’re super excited, just to hear our name, it’s a special moment,” said junior Sofia Bell. “So it was something we were looking forward to as a team and we’re excited.” “It’s great to be able to be here, be able to play in March Madness,” said senior Mia Jacobs, who will be making her first NCAA Tournament appearance. “It’s something that a lot of people talk about, but not a lot of people get to experience. So, I am excited that I get to be one of those people.” Oregon finished the regular season 22-12 and 8-10 in Big Ten play, reaching the quarterfinals at last week’s Big Ten Women’s Basketball Tournament in Indianapolis. The Ducks boast a NCAA Evaluation Tool (NET) rating of 24 while picking up six total Quad 1 and 2 victories. Playing in the nation’s second-toughest conference according to NET rankings, UO faced 10 ranked opponents during the regular season and earned victories over then-No. 21 USC and two wins over a ranked Maryland team (Nos. 16 and 14). The Ducks played 11 different teams that are in this year’s field of 68 – picking up five wins against those squads. In 12 seasons at Oregon, Graves has guided the Ducks to seven NCAA Tournament appearances, including three Sweet Sixteen berths, two Elite Eights and one Final Four. The Ducks are 13-6 in the NCAA Tournament under Graves. This marks the first time Oregon has received an eight seed in the NCAA Tournament, while the Ducks and Hokies have met just once previously. UO defeated Virginia Tech 73-53 back on Nov. 27, 1999, in Eugene. Graves has guided the Ducks to at least one NCAA Tournament win in five of his previous six appearances in his UO tenure. Graves has led Oregon to 13 of its 18 all-time NCAA Tournament victories and will make his 15th career appearance in the postseason. OREGON IN THE NCAA TOURNAMENT Seventh tournament bid in last nine tournaments Second consecutive tournament bid (reached second round last season) 19th all-time NCAA Tournament appearance Seventh NCAA Tournament bid under Graves Won at least one game in six of the last seven tournament appearances Reached one Final Four, three Elite Eights and four Sweet Sixteens under Graves Ducks are 13-6 in the NCAA Tournament in Graves’ tenure First time being a No. 8 seed in the NCAA Tournament 18-18 all-time record in the NCAA Tournament Graves earns his 15th career NCAA Tournament bid

So Waz brought it all down to earth a bit on Laya, as he hits .429 against right handed pitching but only .235 against lefties . It just shows us how special he will be when he can hit lefty piching. My guess is that going forward opposing coaches will bring in a southpaw when the game is on the line and Laya is coming up. That will change.
