Anyone pointing to Dan Lanning’s very first game as a head coach against a loaded Bulldogs team as evidence of anything meaningful need to try harder.

Note also how stupid the question was framed by a Beavis fan....west coast teams being doormats? Oregon won the Big-10 football title last year, won the most B1G championships of any Big-10 team. Of the five teams from the Big-10 in the current top 25....three are from the original 14 B1G teams, and HALF of the four west coast teams who joined them are in the top-25. Stupid is, as stupid says? Oregon State fans talking about others being doormats?

"This will mark GameDay’s first visit to a USC game since the 2016 season." "The Oregon Ducks have been featured on ESPN's College GameDay 11 times from the 2016 season through the current 2025 season." (USC will be number 12.) No wonder we live in their head rent free. There is nothing worse to their fans than simply being irrelevant while we steal the spotlight over and over... This will be our 3rd Game day appearance this year. I expect us to act like we've been there before. We'll see if USC can handle it.

We get a decent amount of pressures, we just don't get home for sacks as our strategy is to collapse the pocket without giving any escape routes to the QB.

Good gosh, I cannot believe the major drugs taken by John Canzano and the fans of Beavis. Below is some major "Hopeium, and Copium." Q: Former Pac-12 teams become doormats of the Big Ten, what do they do? Take the Big Ten cash and reboot over and over again? Or leave? JC: The cash functions like glue in your question. Those schools would stay in the Big Ten and get their teeth kicked in if enough money is there. There would be some private regrets, but they’d publicly justify it by pointing at the revenue in the budget and saying, “We’re in the right conference.” In the last couple of weeks, I’ve talked with some insiders who are still spitballing about what happens when/if the ACC breaks up. Stanford and Cal have nowhere else to go. The Big Ten isn’t taking them. Would those two ever return to the Pac-12? How much time would have to pass? Would they seek refuge in the Big 12? Or would something else form? But if those legacy schools did return to the Pac-12 someday, would UCLA think twice? Discuss. Yeah...I Want to Join the NEW Mountain West.

In part because we only needed to run for that many yards. The run game did what it was supposed to do... get chunk yardage and set up the pass. But Moore's passing game was so efficient that it did kinda skew the numbers. He was 27/30!!!! So with 30 pass attempts, a reasonable number, he completed 27 of them and many of those were vertical passes that ate up massive yardage. Think of that Sadiq pass(s) that put the Ducks on the goal line. I think this offense is built around around a 70% completion rate. That would translate to Moore going 21/30 which might need more production out o the run game in some more potential 3rd and short situations, which we had very few.

Thanks David. So to clarify a little bit, we can do damage running or passing out of any formation, and now that we are using play action more, the front seven of the defense can't commit to run or pass until QB and RB are past the mesh point. While they are frozen for about half a second, the OL QB and RB are executing the offense at full speed. Football may be a game of inches, but inches come from motion (distance per time), so it's also a game of milliseconds, and 500 of them is a big advantage. An extra half second for Moore to survey the field would have a massive impact on yards per drop back.

Playoff pondering from Ducks Wire - https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/football/2025/11/17/oregon-football-cfp-ideal-scenario-and-path/87305682007/?utm_source=smg-duckswire-strada&utm_medium=email&utm_campa

What the Oregon Ducks need for their perfect College Football Playoff scenario to unfold There's a common notion in college football that, so long as you win every game on your schedule and take care of business, everything else will sort itself out as far as the postseason goes. You'll be rewarded with the best opportunity to win the national championship. We saw a year ago how that wasn't the case for the Oregon Ducks, though. Despite going a perfect 13-0 with a Big Ten Championship crown in their first year as league members, Oregon got the short end of the stick thanks to an ill-advised College Football Playoff seeding model that ended up hurting conference champions and rewarded one or two-loss teams with easier routes in the bracket. While that seeding has since been updated — no longer do conference champions automatically get first-round byes — it's still fair to ask the question: Where is the ideal place to be in the CFP bracket when all is said and done?

1st time in nine seasons that GameDay is putting on Trojans. Let's give Troy the whole Nine Yards! https://trojanswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/trojans/football/2025/11/17/espn-college-gameday-usc-football-oregon/87311962007/?utm_source=smg-trojanswire-strada&utm_medium=email&utm_cam

I see something like this prediction from SI. It would be great to get the Domers in the first round in Autzen. SIForde: College Football Playoff Projected Bracket After W...The SEC is still a five-bid league even with Oklahoma’s upset win over Alabama.

Great take and reality check. The great news is that Oregon's destiny totally sits right in our hands. Win out, and screw the AP... because the B1G will have 3 teams in the playoffs. End up with 2 losses, and nobody is going to do us any favors.

I agree with you, DM. It's November, weird stuff will happen, but it would have to get really weird for OBD to be seeded higher than 6th. 6 or 7, give me this today and I'll happily take it. As Charles noted, the 2nd round opponent will be a tough out. I know it's likely to be Ohio State, but if the chips so fall, I prefer a second round game in the Rose Bowl instead of a game in the Cotton, Orange, or Sugar Bowl. A shot for payback in Pasadena vs. one of TOSU or Indiana. This time with a game in hand instead of a too long nap. Bring it on!

JJ thanks for the info and your witty thoughts and remarks. It is frustrating that the bias against rhe BIG and OBD's is rearing its ugly head with the committee, talking heads and pollsters. However, and most won't like my take on this, OBD's has not helped themselves on some big stages. The massacre at the hands of Georgia. Does anybody on the Forum think SEC fans and honks have forgotten this game? OBD's shite the bed against tOSU in the quarterfinals and against IU this year. And they havent annihilated teams they should have, like Whisky. Performance builds perception and those poor performances leave an impression that lasts. ODB's don't measure up to how tOSU and IU have destroyed most of their BIG opponents. Remember I said most! There is no room for another loss. None! As much as we love our Ducks, that love is not receprocated anywhere else. The Ducks control their own destiny. Go Ducks.........

It's looking like OBD is finding its' offensive identity, and I feel like there is still quite a bit of upside available. USC is going to score some points this Saturday, and while I am pretty crappy at predictions, I've got the Ducks winning by about 18. Something like 42-24, with pretty balanced passing and rushing numbers. Although we rushed for 179 yards last weekend, which is nothing to shake a stick at, the running game was still very productive. In addition, Moore look very comfortable, generally had decent time in the pocket, wasn't locking on to his first receiver choice, and just a fine job moving the ball around. The run game nicely set him up to have a lot of success throwing the ball. GO DUCKS!

In first round games the home team controls ticket sales. 3500 tickets minimum have to be reserved for the visiting team. How OBD handles distribution? I hope there would not be a radical difference between the 1st round and the regular season.

Smart can't beat Bama, and Sark can't get Smart.
