ESPN's Bill Connolly, the man behind SP+, has published his B1G preseason analysis. ESPN.comBig Ten preview: Can Penn State finally break through? Wi...As the Big Ten looks to produce its third straight national champion, Bill Connelly breaks down all 18 teams.

Pardon me if I don't shed a year for their QB room filled with two five stars, and a high upside four star. There were concerns heading into 2021 surrounding CJ Stroud replacing Justin Fields. It's similar to people asking if Oregon in a slump two weeks ago because they lost a couple battles to BYU and Georgia. Hyperbolic statements like "Is Lanning losing his touch?" have about as much credibility as those old tabloid magazines in grocery store checkout lanes that said a sitting President was in love with a space alien.

Here's hoping I don't get fooled again, but Greg Sankey and Tony Petitti are discussing the 2026 and subsequent playoff formats almost daily. As Sankey says, 'We're two blue-collar boys.' Heard today in a discussion devoted to the SEC were two SEC homers who believe that automatic qualifiers (AQ) are still very much in play. That Sankey is posturing to get more money out of ESPN for playing a 9th conference game. The SEC's concern about the PO Committee and the manner in which it operates has not gone away. It is incorrect, as has been stated by many football experts, that a 4-4-2-2-1-3 format caps the B1G and the SEC at four teams in the field. Yes, Notre Dame will almost certainly take one of the three at-large spots season after season, but there is no restriction on the B1G or the SEC securing one of the at-large bids. Using the PO Committee's final 2024 top 25 ranking, and using the above AQ model, this would have been the PO field by conference, and the field come 2026 would be seeded as ranked. SEC - 2 Georgia / 3 Texas / 7 Tennessee / 11 Alabama / 14 Ole Miss / 15 South Carolina B1G - 1 OBD / 2 Penn State / 6 Ohio State / 8 Indiana ACC - 10 SMU / 16 Clemson B12 - 12 ASU / 17 BYU G5 - 9 Boise State IND - 5 Notre Dame The ACC and the B1G, except for a difference in ranking, would have been the same in the 2025 12-team field. The B12 would have two and not one team in the mix. The winner hands down would be the SEC with six teams in the field. Bama would have been the SEC's 4th AQ, and Ole Miss and South Carolina would take two at-large spots. If the format had played out this way, it would have meant millions of dollars more for the SEC. So, what's Sankey's beef with the B1G's proposed format? That a format with AQs is not fair to the ACC, G6, and the B12? 😁 Excuse me, Sir, how much do you want for that bridge? 🤪

My question or inquiry is what are the operating costs/revenue if you just have football on the ledger. I know travel expenses are huge. But USC runs just about every Olympic sport. I read an article saying programs may end conference affiliation outside of the big three sports to cut costs. Hockey is run completely different as B1G isn't really a thing. Michigan, Minnesota, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State , and Wisconsin are in a league with Notre Dame for hockey. Florida plays in a subdivision non scholarship league.

Is the quarterback competition really over? Reading this article and many others it appears that it is, but I’ve not seen any official announcement that it won’t last through fall camp?

Bevo almost ran over UGA back in the 2018 Sugar Bowl. How do we know he wouldn't try it again? 😂 *This message is in no way wishing harm to that bulldog. Bull on Bulldog violence is not promoted or implied here. Reader discretion advised. We now return you to regular scheduled posting.

Anytime you disrupt an offensive lines interior blocking scheme you create many opportunities for the MINT defense. The 3 - 4 defense is at it’s finest when you have a nose guard that can man handle the center, and require an OL to double team him. Can the “Bear” can wreak havoc in the middle? That probably determines how we handle some of our top rated opponents this season. Our defense needs to play well. We don’t need our young QB to feel that they need to play “hero” ball early in the season.

No.1 What If...I don't care. No. 2. I think the article has this question mixed up. Sayin doesn't have to better than Howard was last year, Hartline however does have to step up. Kelly saved the Day on offense and of course there's a new DC. A lot more questions than the QB. No.3. Can Franklin win a B1G One? Let's see, Oregon comes in a new QB, behind a new OL, a new receiving corps, new RB's, new DL, new secondary, and they're getting HFA? No.4 Let's evaluate what "elite" means regarding Iowa's QB. No.5 Nebraska could improve over last year and still might not be all that.

Thanks Alex, for giving us something to ponder. Is he going to have the great year that he and Oregon fans want?

Bear and Matayo sound like a devastating duo! If they're really effective there won't be much for Thieneman and the rest of the secondary to deal with. A stifling defense is and always will be, the key yo winning a Natty. This can be a stifling defense.

Invite Bevo and UGA for Round 2, clear the pool, and pray for the canine. 😁

Our Oregon football program had some massive turnover in this offseason at key positions. Usually, that’d leave most programs in a spot to rebuild, but head coach Dan Lanning has continued to do such an outstanding job recruiting year round that the Ducks are virtually always ready to reload.

All three of them have some talented WR’s to throw to. None of them are going into bad situations offensively. Sure, Moore has a new OL and he loses Stewart for the season, but DL didn’t leave him with a bare cupboard. I remember thinking Bo was a bust because he wasn’t really all that good at Auburn. Then he got to Oregon with Troy, Ferguson and Tez and became a first round draft pick. Being talented is one thing, but QB’s need to have good talent on the other end of their throws.

Jabba, "Great Post" wasn't sufficient for yours! Nobody is calling Minnesota elite, what about Pitt? Yale? Oregon burst on the scene with Joey H and being screwed by the computer into missing the chance to play Miami. Oregon is elite, it wouldn't have mattered if Dyer was down if Chip had gotten out of his own way, and 2007? Only the Women's 2020 Basketball team was a more sure thing. Oregon is elite. From the Duck to the uniforms, the facilities, Oregon is always in the discussion, right up to, " need to win a Natty" U-Dub has a Natty, outside of Mountlake, no discussion of elite has included them in a long time.

IMO we’re elite whether we like it or not, but no title is an albatross. Minnesota has 6 titles in football, Harvard has 8, etc. Nobody is confusing them with anything good. I’ll take it a step farther, nobody (outside fans of the team) is overly impressed with teams that were voted in as a champion…that impresses people as much as when we tell them we have a hoops title from 1939. An anecdote from ancient history. Take that UW! That time of year to post a pic of the school with the most titles (18) in college football history!

Oregon has just now entered rarified air with the highest percentage recruits in these past few recruiting cycles. #4 average percentage for 2024, #1 for 2025, and currently #1 for 2026. Everyone has their own rankings and some claim to be better, but the reality is Oregon is compiling a, top of the line, roster. It takes 3-4 years to bring it all together. An above average QB can win it all with a stellar line, a solid RB, an above average receiver or two and top tier line with everyone knowing how to block. Then have nearly equal 2nd string to back them up. It's lining up to be this year or next year. I'm going with next year. But, surprise me and make me a happy man come January!
