Strength of schedule to have more weight. CFP selection committee to use enhanced metrics - ESPN Of course, this still favors the SEC since they have more teams starting in the top 25. Would be better if they waited until Nov 4th to use that top 25.

I remember when Tim Tebow was being courted by Katy Perry. I was concerned that Tim would've dipped his toes in that world like Eli Manning did with Brittany Spears during his Ole Miss days. Tim stayed off that path and is now happily married to a nice woman whose name I don't know. It's best to keep your personal life as personal as possible imo. As any married or committed person would likely tell you, and as a man I can tell you that when your wife/fiance/girlfriend is happy, you'll be much happier.

More from Josh Pate on the 2025 Ducks. Beyond Super Frosh Dak Moore, is there enough depth and talent at WR? Malik Benson. I wish I could get his drop of a perfectly thrown deep ball in the Spring Game out of my head. I note that we haven't heard much about Hughes at RB. Will he be the same player in the Power 2 that he was in the G5?

Hope his QB senses are on high alert for that blind side blitz.

Absolutely! I'm sure she's probably in the Danger zone. Justin is in the "I can fix her" phase of this relationship.

Oregon has Rivals No. 3 ranked recruiting class including a pledge from Murrieta (Calif.) Vista Murrieta quarterback Bryson Beaver. Beaver ranks as the Rivals No. 5 ranked signal-caller. He gave the Ducks a verbal in June over the likes of Ole Miss, LSU and Auburn. The defending Big Ten Champs are very happy with Beaver and two sources tell Rivals they aren’t actively recruiting any other quarterbacks that are in the senior class. That includes Folsom (Calif.) High five-star and BYU commit Ryder Lyons. For much of the 2026 process, Lyons was Oregon’s top target with offensive coordinator Will Stein leading the charge on the trail. Rivals has learned Stein has not talked with Lyons since being told he was going to BYU and has had minimal communication with the Lyons family that was initiated by the Lyons camp. A source also told Rivals that Oregon did not send Lyons an offer letter. Lyons will take an LDS Mission following his senior year so he is technically a 2027 prospect. But they don’t want to do anything to ruffle the feathers of Beaver who they fell in love with in camp this summer. Even letting Lyons come to a game this fall would be up for debate inside their football facility. Speaking of 2027s, Oregon is in the mix for two of their favorites in the cycle in Keegan Croucher and Trent Seaborn. Oregon set at QB in the 2026 class, in great shape to land one of its top 2027 targets

DrJacksPlaidPants, we all know where she falls on that matrix! Ha! But, every once in awhile one must test the matrix. Young Justin is in for an adventurous ride.

Here's what Oregon quarterback Dante Moore had to say following Tuesday's fall football practice Everything Oregon QB Dante Moore said following Tuesday's fall camp practice The Ducks were back inside Autzen Stadium for preseason practice Tuesday.

I wonder where she falls in this matrix?

The delivery on the Schwartz video is a bit plodding, but there is a treasure trove of information on defensive schemes and QB reads based on what the defense shows pre and post snap. Moore exhibited elite arm talent as a UCLA freshman but also the fundamental errors a young QB will make: Locking on to one receiver and telegraphing the throw with his eyes, trying to throw off balance into a tight window and getting fooled by a safety that cheats his coverage with a little motion. On each of those bad judgement pick six throws Moore had another open option. In his defense, the O-line and RB blocking was abysmal and barely gave him enough time to get to read #2. And the Chipster's offense may have been simplified for certain preset throws to get him started. It added up to Dante kind of getting thrown to the wolves with the confidence draining outcome that multiple picks would understandably have on a young QB. That he has picked himself up (pun intended) and prepared himself with a year under a QB whisperer OC and behind an experienced Heisman candidate is a testament to his resilience and smarts. Those first year errors seem correctable, and heaven knows Moore will have better scheme, weapons and protection at Oregon than he would have ever had at Westwood. I think that barring something stellar from Novosad coming out of fall camp, the job is his. Either way we OBD fans should feel pretty good about the QB spot going into the season.

Article in Oregonian this morning mentioning Alabama/FSU WR transfer Malike Benson…seems like the random (to me) transfer, 1 year “rental player” that could have a huge impact. Love paying attention to the roster more once we hit August! 😆

Madison Beer is certainly attractive. Not sure if discussing mental issues is a first date thing, or do you wait until the second date?

They all should've, but the world isn't fair. I'm okay with that because I never expected Michigan to lose it's title. I did expect a postseason ban for at least a year though. But that didn't happen, there weren't even any show clauses to my knowledge.

Kinda get the "Stacey" vibe from this one. Good Luck with that.

I just want to say that Jon's use of legal stats is another thing that sets this forum apart from the rest. Bravo!

I'm not surprised Gary Bryant Jr. is mentioned as the most consistent...I think he has the most years in the program within the WR room (at least for the ones that have started games) so he should know the offensive schemes inside and out. I think this is his chance to move from WR4 to as high as WR2 if things go right for him. For Dante, I think it will all come down to how well he can read the defense...guys like Bo and Dillon had pretty much seen it all after 5-6 years so I expect him to struggle this year with that and be much better at it next season. That being said, I think either he or Austin Novasad are good enough to manage the offense well enough for a 10 win season this year.

Lots of sneaky talent on the Ducks. Well... not sneaky as it was all highly recruited. But it feels like everyone is sleeping on it. I think we might see the best defense of the Lanning era this year and I think the offense kicks it back up to the 2023 year's production levels. Yes, last year was a down year for Lanning and this offense, sure we went 13-1 overall but the offense only scored more than 40 three games (less than 5 for sure) and we averaged around 35. Looking for that number to go up to around 40 again this year.

Jon you overwhelm me with your research sir. I do have an off topic story about how people over in the UK didn't understand how we are obsessed with how our sports teams perform at "University". They equate extended education as nothing more than a tool to get a higher profession. I asked a couple jokingly who was the national champion in tiddly winks and I got the dryest stares you could imagine. I felt like I had just been in the Sahara for a month straight. As far as the Ducks go, I've heard this might be the last year for your annual "Civil War". I imagine the Beavers will try and keep that series going, but I don't see the benefit of it being home and home to the Ducks. Maybe a 2 for 1? Florida is still hated by Hurricane fans because that same proposition was made by Steve Spurrier back in the day. Those touchy Hurricane fans still hold it against the Gators to this day. In some ways they hate us more than they hate FSU. Here's hoping both the Ducks and Gators send little brother back to their respective holes with memorable losses.

FEBU

Looks about like what I’d expect for a team starting the season in the lower half of the top-10 from the west coast. Unless we relocate the UO about 3000 miles east it will always be an uphill battle.
