First of all. Thanks for framing it as "best" path through the playoffs cuz' No Game should/would be easy. Best get that out of the way. That being said..... GO DUCKS! BEAT DOWN THE 'DUKES!

Until I see another team hoist the trophy. My list of teams to avoid early would be... 1.) Ohio State 2.) Georgia 3.) Indiana 4.)Texas Tech Oregon happens to be on the side of the bracket with my three, and four. My reasoning is based off top end talent, championship experience, and ceiling to floor capability. If Ohio State, and Georgia are operating at optimum, with all those five stars. Watch out. We saw it last year with Ohio State. My fear with Indiana is what they have left. They put their everything into winning that game against the big bad monster that's been bullying them for the past thirty seven years. Just like Ohio State put everything into beating Michigan the prior week. There is a natural letdown that happens. I think Oregon felt that after beating Penn State. Now Oregon gets a warm up tbh against James Madison. A week later they will face a Texas Tech that bulldozed their way through the Big 12. Oregon will be the best team Tech sees all year. I don't think Tech is better than Indiana. Meanwhile, Ohio State, Georgia, and Texas A&M , Ole Miss, and Miami will be bludgeoning each other in the other half of the bracket. All have just as much, or more talent than Indiana, and Tech. Oregon gets a glorified bye, and then they get a rested, but rusty Tech. Indiana will get Alabama or Oklahoma, two of the least deserving playoff teams in the field. I think Indiana will wipe them out, and face Oregon in the semifinals, where I like Oregon as the more talented team. On the other side, I think it comes down to Ohio State, and Georgia. They will pound each other into submission. Whoever wins that game will have felt like it's been a twelve round Tyson clobbering. I like Oregon to have a much better chance to be the last team standing. It's going to be tough, but this year I think getting Ohio State, or Georgia, is far harder than James Madison, Tech, or Indiana.

Oregon Ducks Football Transfer Portal Tracker This should be another very active year for the Oregon Ducks in the NCAA Transfer Portal, both with incoming and outgoing players. We'll be actively tracking all the news and notes from the portal here. Oregon DB Solomon Davis will leave Oregon and enter transfer portal Oregon football saw sophomore defensive back Solomon Davis confirm his intentions to leave the Ducks program to and enter the NCAA Transfer Portal. "The reality is, the portal opens in January. It doesn't open now. You've got time to evaluate, you know, those options for you, and each person has to evaluate those options for themselves," said Lanning. Interesting that he entered the portal now since these playoff games do not count towards the 5th redshirt burning game.

Mullens is one of the best college football ADs and has been instrumental to Oregon’s success across sports. We are fortunate to have him at Oregon, IMHO. Congratulations on the well-deserved recognition.

Top 25 college NIL deal estimates, per On3. $6.8M for Arch Manning? Someone should ask for a refund… Not one Oregon Duck on the list despite our rivals saying that Oregon hands out bags of money? (Note: I’m sure that Dante Moore and other Ducks will be on the list next year, if they come back.) Collectives should start linking these NIL deals to on field productivity / results.

We have the path of least resistance but TTU is very good defensively and the longer the game goes on the better they get. JMU is also a talented defense with similar skill profiles at edge rusher to Tech. I think Georgia and Indiana are the two toughest teams in the bracket

Nothing is a given in football. Everything has to be earned. ONE GAME AT A TIME!

Thanks Alex for your thoughts and perspective on OBD's path to the Natty. I feel that the Ducks have the easiest opening round game, on paper, in any bracket. Moving forward into the quarterfinals we have the most difficult path. The Red Raiders can hold their own with any opening round opponent. Their CFP ranking the last 4 weeks says so! (LOL) The Tech game will be a 60 minute battle. The Red Raiders have not faced a well balanced offense like the Ducks. Nor have they faced a defense like OBD's. The Ducks have future NFL players filling both sides of the ball. TT has not faced a complete team like the Ducks! The Red Raiders, just like Indiana, are hungry to excorcise decades of demons. We didn't handle the Hoosiers very well! The Ducks must start fast, play clean mistake free football. Take their rabid fans out of the game by putting TT in a early, deep hole. Moving forward is hard to predict. Will the curse of the first round bye continue? Who will fall or proceed? That first round by is the unknown elephant in the room. Is the SEC overrated? Underrated? Indiana will find out just how good the SEC is, for sure. Georgia most likely will face souless Ole Miss. Miami will handle a highly overated Aggie team to get their shot at tOSU. Alex, if OBD's make it to the finals, my gut tells me that they would face Georgia! Not tOSU........ Looking forward to reading all the thoughts today on this thread. Go Ducks and Go OBDF!

Congratulations to Haloti! One of the all time greats and most dominant Oregon Duck. I remember when he committed to Oregon out of high school. It was a major recruiting coup.

Notre Dame did NOT get shafted. They weren’t even in the top 8(2 full rounds of playoff teams). Only 2 teams ended the regular season 12-0. They played each other and Indiana won. If you lose a game then you have no gripe when other teams don’t lose games. If they don’t like it then join a conference and you are guaranteed a shot to get in. Aaaaaaaaaall a-Nother Lame teams fault.

The Babylon BeeNCAA Confirms College Football Playoff Selections Made By...INDIANAPOLIS, IN — In the wake of controversy over teams being snubbed and left out of the postseason championship tournament, the NCAA reluctantly confirmed that the College Football Playoff selectio

Iron sharpens iron. Rather than improving the SEC’s top tier teams chances for success, avoidance often diminishes the over all ability to meet challenges.

Speaking of the BIG, only four teams from last year's 12 team playoffs again qualified this year . . . Oregon, Indiana, Ohio State and our forum friend's Georgia Bulldogs.

Timeliness, I call El Toro Poopoo. Now instead of lungpower, you use keyboards to create girlfriends.

His speed and ability to juke and side-step defenders makes him the full package at receiver. With his added weight, he’s going to be a defender’s red zone nightmare on back shoulder corner end zone passes.

Even so, you have to wonder why so many FSU guys opted out. I want to remind you that their opponent, Georgia, also got snubbed that year. They had one loss by 3 points in the SEC Championship game while missing their two most electric offensive players (Brock Bowers and Ladd McConkey, both of whom tried to go and just couldn't). But the Dawgs didn't whine. They showed up , played, and dominated, no surprise with so many Seminoles sitting home. Pride stimulated them to show up and FSU still hasn't recovered from the shellacking. IMHO, paid players should not be allowed to desert their team because their feelings are bruised.

By the way, there is a video on YouTube showing him doing a beautiful between the legs windmill dunk. I think he’s also a pretty great basketball player.
