Oregon vs Wisconsin Post Game Discussion Thread
The Ducks would like to both clinch it and clench it. But, there are who beat who scenarios involving 8-1 teams...not the head-to-head...but the W-L record of their 9 opponents where a loss to Washington could do damage.

2015 Michigan State beat Michigan and Ohio State on the road, and Penn State at home. (They also beat Oregon at home). They did not play Wisconsin. Then, got demolished by Alabama

Oregon vs Wisconsin Post Game Discussion Thread
Excerpt from one of those links: "Barring any unlikely tie-breaking scenarios in the conference standings, Oregon will compete for the conference crown in Indianapolis." I believe that is true. If the Ducks lose to Washington, and a couple other games are upsets, Oregon could fall out of the 1 or 2 slot. It is based on teams being tied with one loss 8-1 and the W-L records of teams they beat when there was no head-to-head among some of the one-loss teams.

Shown the Money: Indiana Stepped Up for Cignetti
Cignetti has benefited greatly this season from 13 players who came with him from James Madison with at least 8 starting. Clearly knew expectations and culture, and the play book. His staff includes 6 assistants from JMU. According to FPI, the strength of schedule is No. 100. But, they have had dominant wins and not stubbed their toes. Cignetti had to be given a raise. Had to. Any AD would do it as a defensive measure since his coach only had one season invested in Indiana. Can he sustain success? That is now the $8million per year question. If the Hoosiers can beat Ohio State it is a short bus ride to the Big Ten Championship game. It is 49 miles from Bloomington to Indianapolis. That's closer than Georgia is to Atlanta. It would likely be the most overwhelmingly partisan crowd in the history of conference championship games.

USC Can't Afford to Keep Riley
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.
