We broke the 2012 record with a Regional yet... or more to come?

Pretty cool...you don't see this every day!

The newest revised rankings for Oregon had the odd one of writers (NCBWA) go from No. 19 to No. 7, thus nearly every poll has the Ducks in the top eight. We average No. 6... To achieve hosting a Super is a tough task, as Oregon has to sweep Iowa and win the B1G Tournament, IMHO. Thoughts?

Not certain what the trade-off is for securing a unanimous vote, but playoff seeding matching rankings in 2026 would be sweet. College Football Playoff nearing consensus to alter seeding process with changes to first-round byes - CBSSports.com WWW.CBSSPORTS.COM The power conferences are in agreement to move to a format that will eliminate automatic first-round byes for conference champions. I'll believe it when I see it.

Ownership of a major sport franchise is highly coveted. There will be people lining up to buy the Blazers and they will pay more than what they're worth. Paul Allen paid $70M and they're worth $3.6B now. I just hope the new owners don't try to move them after 2030.

5/15 Dante Moore spotlight Tuesday Ted Talk: Realistic Expectations for Dante Moore in 2025 - On3 WWW.ON3.COM Oregon quarterback transfer Dante Moore opens up as the odds favorite to lead this offense next season. Is he ready?

Pure guess on my part but I would guess that Phil Knight passing on this opportunity might damper enthusiasm in the marketplace.

It's confirmed. Traveler has a Duck on his back. USC leads Oregon in 2026 football recruiting, but by how much? TROJANSWIRE.USATODAY.COM Oregon is not even in the top 10 of ESPN's current 2026 football recruiting rankings Today's rankings have nothing to do with SC removing Riley from his duties as the recruiting point man, AD Jen Cohen, and not Riley getting SC's NIL together, and SC paying $1M a year to a 'GM' to organize recruiting. This plus SC having 26 'commitments.' See ya on 11/22 in Autzen. And let's compare notes after signing day in December. BTW, today, OBD is ranked 4th in the quality of players who have 'committed.'

With some help from Northwestern, the Ducks can win the B1G Championship. SIDEARM Integrations GODUCKS.COM All three games will be televised with Thursday's game on FS1 and the Friday and Saturday games on the Big Ten Network

Rare for me to be sure, but I agree and heartily endorse almost all of Jon's many points in the preceding post! My only quibble here is the contention that only the power 2 deserve to be taken seriously as championship contenders. Too much of that favoritism and you could see football becoming a club sport more quickly than you might imagine. But 24 teams/ Not credible to this observer.

All it took for Oregon to bring back baseball was for the Beavers to win back to back championships in 06 and 07. Oregon fielded a team in 2009 after dismantling the program in the early 80’s. If Oregon, UCLA, or usc were to win a championship in baseball, I would expect other schools (alumni) in the conference would get their AD’s on the phone and start asking questions about how to improve their teams. Baseball in the BIG relies on other revenue sports to pay the bills. Alumni support dictates whether programs receive enough money to improve.

On a final note on this subject, I looked into each schools schedule, home and road games. Five schools did not have any weather related issues. They were... Indiana, Minnesota, Oregon, Rutgers and UCLA. The following schools had either cancellations or a postponement of a game. Michigan 2/3 Ohio St. 3/1 Iowa 3/0 Purdue 3/0 Penn St. 2/1 Michigan St. 1/2 Nebraska 1/1 Illinois 1/0 Northwestern 1/0 USC 1/0 Washington 1/0 Maryland 0/1

This might work if the regular season had ten games. With 24 teams and 12 regular-season games, how do you conclude the season before February? Even without Conference Champ Game weekend, and with every team playing in Week 0, you're running deeper into NFL playoff games. What entity will fund the first round of games featuring the 9 seed vs. the 24th seed, etc.? Visiting playoff teams last season received $3 million in travel expenses for travel to each away game and bowl games. The 4-4-2-2-1-3 format provides the same money for first-round games, with the 9 seed through 16 seed playing at the 1 through 8 seeds. There aren't 12 teams that can win a playoff, let alone 16, but 24? I don't believe the media would pay more for this format than for a 16-team format with no byes. Petitti and Sankey's format has the top eight teams playing a home game in the 1st round. Using this format in 2024-25 would have excluded only CU from the most-watched teams playing in the opening round. Using last season's final committee rankings, I'd rather watch No.1 seed Oregon play No. 16 Clemson in Autzen and No. 9 Boise State play No. 8 Indiana on the road, than watch No. 9 seed Boise host No. 24 seed UNLV, the third time these teams would have played last season. I believe ESPN would agree? And like it or not, money matters. No metric supports giving the 'little guy' a chance in a CFB playoff. A 24-team playoff would give 'the little guy' more money, but at what cost to the more successful, the more viewed programs? I want to see as few B1G varsity sports reduced to club sports as possible. The marketplace has separated the Power 2, and the playoffs should do likewise. A 24-team playoff has a populist appeal, but it is not grounded in today's college sports economics. There is zero financial reason for the Power 2 to keep the Lesser 2 and G6 football programs afloat at the expense of their athletic departments.

We'd have to. That's too many games to put players through at that point. I'd also add that each round gets re-ranked.

This is good news. I believe his attention would’ve been divided which would take some of his focus away from Oregon athletics. Phil Knight says he's not interested in buying Trail Blazers - ESPN WWW.ESPN.COM Nike co-founder Phil Knight said Wednesday that he is not interested in buying the Trail Blazers.

With the extra round… Could we skip the damn play-in Conference games?

At first, 24 sounds like a lot. But the format works, the Pop Tart Bowl will still be there for The U.
