Is it wrong that I'm feeling two ways about a win by the team I want nothing but success? Short term I'm elated to see a top 10 win and love it for the current guys who've stayed through the turmoil and worked their butts off. I've seen this script before though. Last year with LSU, Ole Miss, FSU and the bowl game. It's why Billy was retained and Lagway was a Heisman candidate. But the season started and before we even got to October it was done. There isn't a snowballs chance at a conference or playoff. At Florida that isn't good enough. Napier is now 22-22 in his fourth year, he isn't the answer. My fear is they beat enough decent teams that the leadership gets fooled again. It's never going to happen and the sooner everyone knows that the better. Best case scenario is Billy has been told quietly this is it and he goes out on a high. He is a good man and I hope he gets another shot and succeeds.

Whether or not Oregon’s win will be viewed as diminished will have everything to do with which Penn State team shows up in Columbus on Nov 1st.

So Sanchez allegedly got in a fight with a 69 year old delivery driver, lost the fight, got pepper sprayed, got stabbed, then got arrested?

Is it too late to squeeze Penn St into the schedule?

I got you Jon. Ididn't see it like that, I was hung up on the language. I was just questioning what these private investors are going to want or are getting promised to invest in these brands. I know private donors get things named after them, and the larger ones get some voice in the room. I know these are going to be very small percentile in comparison to what the B1G has already, but they will want something. I hope we don't get patches on the uniforms or fields. That's my only hope.

Their GM quit. I think he's looking for a job at Linfield? How do you turn $300M into zip? Give it to Beavis and the clawless, clueless, Cougars. Best of luck, Wazzu at Ole Miss next Saturday.

Absolutely diminished. It's sad, but it's a game of comparative scores. There is zero excuse for a team with a Blue Chip Roster showing up in LA with no will to win the game.

I agree, the OBD White Out win is diminished. Not because of what I think, thank goodness, but because of the system. There is ZERO excuse for PSU to lose in LA today while looking feeble in the process. You do not get a hangover loss in CFB. PSU Will Win The Natty Nits, will lose in Columbus, at home against Indiana, possibly at Iowa, and one more game. This team, for whatever reason or no reason, is simply not that good. Lose the LOS to OBD? OK. Lose the LOS to UCLA? PSU, along with Clemson and Texas, is one of the 2025 Emperor Has No Clothes teams. Jim Knowles no longer has Caleb Downs et al to move around his chessboard.

Why not? What do we have other than trans properties? This was a bottom-feeder loss for PSU. An L that sullies last Saturday's win. Without a win in Columbus and a win against Indiana, We Are The Champs, Penn State will not qualify for the PO. PSU allowed the wrong QB to escape to Mizzou. PSU is trying to run an RPO O without a QB fit for an RPO. This, after paying mucho dinero to keep guys at Beaver Stadium, playing for a sure thing, an NFL first-round draft pick QB, and WRs who can actually catch a football. And I do think in the subjective world of CFB rankings, this does diminish last Saturday's win. I also believe UW's comeback against Maryland helps OBD's cause. It's unfortunately all about transitive properties and comparison scores. 136 teams in theory competing for a spot in a 12-team PO, the manner in which you win and lose matters. The win in a White Out? Was it that B1G of a deal? OBD, but for a couple of plays, was 'This Close' to a three-score win. From a mile away - Penn State fans will now whine about the strenuous travel post-White Out. This never would have happened but for the Newbie Westies!🤬 OT - My Vegas buddies, including Moi, called the under win total for Clemson and Texas. It's always good when you can line up after Week 6 to collect season-long future bets. 🤑 If you're looking for the Golden Arches in Austin, Texas, good luck, yuck, yuck 😁.

I honestly feel sorry for their players, but not so much their fans.

Traveling to different time zones isn’t that easy. Ducks are time travel warriors.

OREGON ATHLETIC COMMUNICATIONS FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2025 OREGON FOOTBALL | @OregonFootball ESPN’s “College Gameday” returning to Eugene EUGENE, Ore. – The Oregon football team will play at the site of ESPN’s “College GameDay” pregame show for the second straight game when the Ducks host Indiana on Oct. 11. Two weeks after the show was produced from the site of the Ducks’ double-overtime win at Penn State, “College GameDay” will make its 13th all-time appearance in Eugene when Oregon returns from its bye week and hosts the Hoosiers. The game will be televised by CBS, with kickoff scheduled for 12:30 p.m. Oregon will play in a top-10 matchup against a fellow undefeated team for the second straight game as well. After knocking off the then-No. 3 Nittany Lions on the road, the No. 2 Ducks (5-0, 2-0 Big Ten) will host the No. 8 Hoosiers (5-0, 2-0) in Autzen Stadium. It will be the eighth all-time matchup of top-10 teams in Autzen, and the first since Oregon’s win in 2024 over Ohio State — also the last appearance for “College GameDay” in Eugene. The Ducks are 20-13 all-time when playing in a game featured by “College GameDay,” including 9-3 at home. Oregon improved to 8-4 all-time on the road when “College GameDay” is on hand by beating Penn State on Sept. 27. The set for “College GameDay” will again be situated on the Memorial Quad on the University of Oregon campus. More details on the production will be announced as they become available.

In fairness .... Boise is not on par with Boise from last year.

Long season and some random teams usually take the place of those that fall. The SEC has a relative LOT of losses on the ledger for their contenders. The normal pattern for the SEC would be that “Texas only lost because now Florida is in the top 10, so let’s not penalize Texas too much.” Hard to do that when they lose to a Florida team with a losing record, but they‘ll try. SOS concepts being tossed around by the SEC mouthpieces are a bunch of smoke imo. Only way we don’t get in with 2 losses is if we have horrible timing. If we go 10-0, drop the last 2 in a row and don’t make the B1G championship game….thats the only 2 loss scenario that keeps us out IMO.

Friday is the day to go to get a close-up look without the crowd. Not saying don't go on Saturday too, if you're so inclined, but Friday you can go in early afternoon, and the crew will be there on and off.

Maybe Mario Cristobal has finally figured it out... But then again... The big games MC was usually prepared for, it was the games that were supposed to win that tripped him up.

Nope! Just remember they’re actively trying to kill the MWC instead of joining forces, no empathy. I’d still put their ceiling at 4 wins with a floor of 1. The thing I don’t get is how obtuse the Oregonian was on picking them to win. The logic was “Boise just beat App, therefore even though it’s on the road, Beavis will win.” They somehow still think they’re on par with a team that made the CFP last year. Going to be a shame when they don’t crack the top-4 of the new PAC next year.

Should Miami be #1?

Another factor for Penn State is that they have the bad juju from Sandusky and Joepo that they can't shake!

This is now the ultimate nightmare scenario.. . 0-6 start Oof

Let me pose this question to those thinking Oregon's win over Penn State is diminished. Do you think Penn State would have lost today if they won last week? I think they would in that scenario.

It's the loooooong travel and they let Oregon beat them twice as they say. I don't think this PSU loss takes away from our win.

Thanks for nothing, Penn State 😉.

Damn this is brutal. Lost 27-23...so you are at the bottom of the Group-of-Six? At what point am I finally going to feel sorry for them?
