It is likely going to be football and men's basketball for the majority of schools. Then, however many women's sports it takes to satisfy Title IX. I can see in 10 years where Olympic sports are all but gone from college. Colleges probably don't really think about it, but without Olympic sports at colleges, USA is not going to dominate the summer Olympics in 10 years. Having 300+ colleges supporting all those Olympic sports is huge for our dominance.

Massive choke by the SC men, similar to their indoor conference meltdown. Trojans came in with an anticipated 140 points based on seasonal bests. Meanwhile, the Duck men projected a mere 73.5. SC underperformed by an astonishing 59 points while the Duck men blew up the form charts with 42.5 points more than anticipated. But for an injury to Juliet Cherubet, the Duck women would have easily won. Cherubet was projected to score 14 points. While the Ducks underperformed by 9.5 points, if one subtracts the unfortunate injury, the rest of the women over performed by 4.5 points. As with indoors, kudos to the coaching staff who once again had their athletes ready for the big stage.

HIGH HOPES? Oregon's Dante Moore in GREAT spot to thrive, can he play at Heisman level in 2025?

Here is how we scored. Oregon men’s track and field wins Big Ten championship, women come up just short WWW.OREGONLIVE.COM The Ducks are up to eight conference championships across all sports in their first season in the Big Ten.

Now, losing to Georgia definitely is a Good loss, but that's what Day did in the '22 Peach Bowl. Mario and the prevent offense went into the 'shoe and beat the Buckeyes. Michigan beats Ohio State. Ohio State won the Natty last season and made up for the loss early in the season at Oregon. The Buckeyes had more talent than any other team in the country, the added schemes came from Chip, not Day. Day wins when the talent level is overwhelming, but he's not Phil Jackson.

Wow! Stanford stopped scoring after the 3rd inning, hard to win that way! So many heroes, Chambers comes in and shuts Stanford down, Cox regroups after her drop.

You can see how the West Coast teams dominated the B1G in all sports offered right here, as USC won Womens T&F, Oregon won Mens T&F, Washington won Rowing, and Oregon/UCLA won Baseball.

You may recall Oregon played a series with them and the Ducks won all four games, 7-0, 8-3, 20-11, and 35-1 back in early March.

#1 A&M lost!

"You are what your record says you are." Bill Parcells Excellent effort at Vandy, but he was under .500 vs. the SEC, 11-13. James Franklin versus Top 10 opponents is 4-20 overall, and 3-17 at Penn State. His team freezes at key moments. 1st and goal from the Buckeyes 5-yard line vs. Ohio State last season, scored no points, and the Ohio State O never gave PSU the ball again. A terrific defensive effort was wasted. Two terrible late-game interceptions; one against OBD in the conference champ game and a game-changer vs. Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl. And an early unforced interception against Ohio State that led to a score and was the difference in the game. You have a Blue Chip roster, and your WRs catch no passes in the PO semifinal vs. Notre Dame. Your team puts up 49 points in the Rose Bowl, and you lose the game. He can lose when he doesn't score and when he does score. Perhaps, Jim Knowles will make the same difference on D he made in Columbus, and PSU will defeat OBD and TOSU this season. But defense, except in clutch moments, has not been the problem at Penn State. I believe that PSU will drop at least one of its games vs. the Os in 2025. 3-17 does not equate to learning from your losses.

I do see and respect the point you're making though. I just hear Penn State being listed as a blue blood and they have the history to back it up. I place the expectations of a traditional power in one of the big two leagues higher than I even do with Nebraska or Texas A&M. People are saying they are the favorites or number one team based off their returning talent, coordinators and what the last two champions have looked like in comparison. Until Franklin wins a game against a team with equal or greater talent, I don't buy into them as a champion. Michigan and Ohio State won big games, at least one a year. Oregon has won at least one or two big wins under Lanning. That's really my entire point. But I do see your's and respect where you're coming from and how you got there.

A wonderful game summary below... SIDEARM Integrations GODUCKS.COM Oregon's back was against the wall Sunday, but the Ducks beat Stanford twice to win regionals and earn the right to host another round.

I see your point with what he did at Vanderbilt and I hear the concerns from Penn State people about the financial backing. But I hear Franklin makes ten million a year and he coaches at Penn State. At worst they bring in the fifth best classes in the B1G. But that's still top fifteen, I disagree with Notre Dame being more talented. Notre Dame had one great running back in love and one good receiver in Greathouse. Penn State had a better QB, two great RBs, and a first round TE. Their defense was better up front imo. I don't see the case against Freeman other than his weak regular season. But Franklin beats everybody he's meant to and had the easiest playoff path possible. At some point the excuses have to stop and he has to win a third of his big games. I'm not asking him to even go 50/50. Just win one out of three. You are a ten million dollar coach at Penn State in the B1G.

When the finals become reported...it will become apparent that the West Coast Teams have taken over the old Big-10!

Pretty incredible...to beat Stanford twice and get to host a Super-Regional? Wowsa...

I am very happy for coach Lombardi and the team. To get two wins today with the bats and not superior pitching was fantastic. Earlier in the year the pitching got us the big wins over the best teams. Now the hitters came through when needed. If they follow up these two wins with a World Series berth then we may look back at this weekend as the career defining moment for coach Lombardi and her program. GO DUCKS!!!

Oregon crushes Liberty in Fiesta Bowl then March Madness. Might as well make this a clean sweep.

Texas A&M was the #1 seed and got upset by Liberty (that name rings a bell). Oregon at the #16 gets to host the super regional. Take care of business at the Jane and this team gets to Okie City

I didn't mean to imply that Franklin was a bad coach, he isn't. He is the kind of coach who can take an experienced roster and give anyone trouble, especially at home. The Ducks are going to be on their webbed toes and maybe catch a break of two to prevail in Happy Valley.

As the saying goes, "Give me Liberty, and a Super Regional."

I highlight this because Penn State has the kind of experienced roster that Michigan and Ohio State had in 23 and 24; maybe not quite as talented but very experienced. So I think that the Lions will be a tough out for everybody in the B1G. But...Franklin is no where near the coach as Harbaugh was and Cryin Day is. So who knows? Oregon is very talented guys but not experienced at the offensive skill positions--they are a big question mark for me this year. Honesty compels me to feel somewhat the same queasiness when assessing the Dawgs fortunes this year in the SEC. I guess we'll just have to wait to see what unfolds.
