Who named it the Cascade Clash?! I mean, it's not bad, but I didn't get a vote! It's more like a Border War than clash. I'm just glad coach Lanning realizes the importance of this one, and wants the win as bad as we do. I don't believe in cruelty to animals, so we best put these mutts down fast! Sco Ducks! Whip them puppies!

Lanning on the rivalry "It's one that I struggled with early on while I was here. To start, they had some success against us, so it means a lot to me. It's one I want to have some success in," Lanning started. "It's definitely an important rivalry for us. This game means a lot. It's probably the No. 1 question I get when I'm out on the road with donors and support groups and talking about our university, is about this game." After taking early lumps, Dan Lanning says Oregon-Washington rivalry 'means a lot to me

You might not want to read this opinion piece from the Wall Street Journal The Wall Street JournalOpinion | The College Sports CrisisAthletes who don’t study, coaches who are overpaid, the system’s a mess.

I’m with you. Just pointing out there are some pretty big pluses in the macro if we somehow make the conference title game. I’m personally not in accounting with the athletic department, so windfalls don’t really get me anything selfishly. The path with a home game is probably the easier path with the current format, so that is 💯 what I want!

I don't mind them in. Keep Mari in Miami is working so far. Who would you rather play in round 2, osu or Indiana? I prefer Indiana but if they beat osu in the BIG CShip, then they will be the No. 1 seed. So, just play our way in, host a playoff, get healthy AND RUN THE DAMN TABLE.

I have a solution to this playoff mess. Make the conference championship game part of the playoff. The top two teams in each P4 conference play during championship weekend for the conference title. Four at-large teams will also play each other that weekend. Eliminate the FBS requirement and get the four best at-large teams. There will be six teams left after championship weekend. The two top ranked teams get a bye while the other four play each other the following Saturday at 3:30 ET and 7:30 ET after the 12:00 ET Army Navy game. The Final four will then be played on NYD with the National Championship being played on the second Monday after NYD (like old times). Now, there will inevitably be teams left out because the ACC and Big 12 will automatically get two teams in due to their conference championship game. However, this happens in the NFL all the time due to the requirement for each division champion to qualify for the playoffs. The CFP can increase to 16 teams and still keep the same timeline if they choose. The top two ranked teams just wouldn't get a bye during the second week.

My main concern is not having to play that CCG game so that our guys have a chance to get healthy. That certainly helps us. Besides that, a playoff game at Autzen Stadium could be just what we need to kickstart a run similar to what we saw last year from Ohio State. We don't need the B1G Championship this year. Sure, it would be cool to win it back-to-back, but it doesn't really serve our interests.

Dan Lanning pre game speech: "Understand something. Why are you wearing black? You're going to a Trojan funeral." I've always liked the black uniforms, but after that statement, I like them even more.

Also, occurs to me that with the new seeding format a 3 game post season path is now possible. Conference champions aren’t guaranteed anything other than entry into the tournament. Say all goes to form, UI beats tOSU and we beat UW handily…pretty good chance that at 11-1 with our only loss being to undefeated 13-0 UI, that could land us in the top-4.

Breaker, Breaker! We don't want a B1G tiebreaker! AP - You need a CFB knowledgeable person to help you out. There is No Way that Indiana can lose to Washington this week.

Demond likes to see his receivers very open. He certainly won't throw many 50/50 balls, if any. And he likes an easy exit from the pocket. It's a tough matchup for him against our D. The one thing I'll say is if we put a spy on Demond it can't be Bryce or 54, that's too much of a speed mismatch. It has to be Jackson or Thienman.

Where does he go! Anywhere he wants, and he isn't flying Southwest. If I'm wrong, Chipper had better fire his financial advisor. 🤑

We are a poor matchup for UW. Not to say they could never lead or never stress us, but our scheme severely limits their strengths, and then they are left being an above average team playing against tier 1 talent. Now if they come at us with a completely different approach than they've used all season they could give us real trouble for the first half, but it's unlikely.

Canzano reports that Oregon State IS going to interview Wilcox!

ARKANSAS! I don't Gat it!😁

On offense--I'd love to see drives like the final TD that bled a ton of clock, but I am realistic. Washington does not have great pass defense; they can be moved on by the air as well as on the ground. While Oregon has not had the majority of the WRs in the last two games....they adjusted just fine with utilizing "The Beast," Jamari Johnson, Benson, and some McClellan for more than enough balance. I think a balanced attack will score just fine on the Bastard Huskies, and if the defensive line shuts down their run-game and contains Williams...we will do just fine. But that is a lot of requests! Fun article....THANKS Alex!

All good points, but define “helps us”. The conference potentially getting 4 teams in the playoff would definitely help us financially and with recruiting versus the SEC for conference supremacy narratives. That being said, in the here and now, conference championship games are a penalty if you’re already in as an at large host. Either path leads to being 4 games away from a championship, (up to 5 more (!) if you lose the B1G game), but one of those paths includes a home game Pretty sure I prefer the path with a home game and a cap of 4 more games.

Agreed, this is the key.
