  3. Andy Reid is 66. Have no idea what his plans are for retirement from the Chiefs. Nor whether the Chiefs would hire a guy without NFL experience. But, the geographic location would likely get Lanning's attention.

  10. Wisconsin will also be coming off a bye. Maryland's head coach said he had his team start practicing defensively for Oregon during the bye week....essentially two weeks of practices for one opponent.
  11. ESPN, and various Internet web sites, typically list conference standings in alphabetical order if both conference and overall W-L records are the same.

  13. Apparently both inside Truax and outside.... ...not sure what Beavis was doing? They (4-4) host San Jose St (5-3) on Saturday.
  14. AP voters are public weekly. Coaches poll voters are public for the weekly ranking after the final ranking only. Outside of end of year polls, Oregon is the first unanimous #1 team in the AP weekly since Georgia on November 28, 2021. They were 12-0 and the only undefeated P5 team remaining at that time. This week, Georgia, Ohio St and Miami all have some No. 2 votes.
  15. He signed a six-year contract with a starting salary of $4 million per year. He is eligible for some bonuses, but they are not huge dollars. The base value of the contract is $25.5 million ($4.25 million a year) without any bonuses. Cignetti would owe the school $8 million in the first year if he resigns (before 11-30-24), $6 million in Year 2 (after 11-20-24), $4 million in Year 3, $2 million in Year 4 and $1 million in the final two years of the deal. $6-8 million is pocket change for some programs to reimburse Cignetti. The issue for USC is how much they would have to pay to fire Riley. And, the question I would have, relates to recruiting. How good is Cignetti? He is benefiting this year from over a dozen transfers he brought with him from his job at James Madison.

  18. After 8 games, Michigan top 15 rushing defense was averaging 101 yds/game allowed. Today, 9th game, 176.
  19. Somewhat frustrating second half....but, Michigan has won 16 straight Big Ten games at home.
  20. Was at the Illinois game and shortly after kickoff I didn't see many empty seats in person. However, early fourth quarter the student sections looked like lemmings going over a wall.
  21. Ducks depart about 2:00 pm on Thursday. Arrive at a regional airport near Ann Arbor about 8:30 pm ET, Thursday.
