Just because Mario plays with his food doesn't mean he can't get his stuff together and win big games. He did that many times for Oregon. Miami will be dangerous in the playoffs.

G6 should be a different division between FBS and FCS. No more conference championships. Playoff field should be top 16 with no byes and no AQs. Natty should be played in a Bowl on New Year's day.

I thought this thread was just about this year. I don't see BT being the starter for the whole year in 2026 or beyond. Dante Moore is coming back. Even if it's not 100% confirmed, he's not going to play for the dumpster fire Raiders, he's coming back to get better, because he knows better than any he isn't at the level he needs to be to get thrown to the wolves in the NFL on a bad program.

If Novasad was not healthy during the Wisconsin game, that is the only valid argument for him actually being ahead of Thomas, and even that is iffy because Thomas came in first for mop up duty in other games too. Brock can play winning football for us as Lanning says. He can't make some of those game winning throws Moore can, but maybe he could make some better decisions at times too that makes the drop off not as significant. Thomas is a bit more of baller than Moore if we are being honest.

Don't forget the 3 hour time zone change for JMU. They won't be used to that.

This was always the Goldilocks scenario. I'm so glad it's actually happening! I'm not going to sweat injuries. We've had more players injured on bye weeks in practice than in games. It's going to be a lot of fun for the fans in the stands at Autzen.

Yeah they get in as the 5th highest seeded conf champ. I just don't understand the seeding part of it. If they are the lowest ranked seed, then we play them.

So do we get Miami, Tulane, JMU, Notre Dame or Bama?

Wow, Duke wins!

Haha they tie it up! What massive screw up on Duke's last offensive series to give them so much time to march down the field against a loose defense

Duke trying to give Virginia a chance. Two free timeouts. 94 yards, two timeouts remaining and 1:44, touchdown needed to tie.

Well, our only loss of the year is to the 1st ranked team. We're gonna be #5 as the first 4 play a little Chinese fire drill. Duke is winning so who we play is unclear.

It's funny that both coaches played conservative in some ways. Ohio State is fine with losing by 3 points, and their fans can continue to claim that they beat themselves (still undefeated!), and the Ohio State kicker picks up his check from Vegas. Everybody wins.

It's really interesting how the top 5 teams in the country have had struggles with scoring in the red zone as their biggest vice.

If Bama can't score they aren't getting in the playoffs. How badly they lose by will effect the committee. Heck I just saw a shot of the committee in lounge chairs watching this entire game. That seems stupid, like they are going to give each other the worst case of recency bias. I hope that's just for show. I'm glad we aren't playing today. People want the bye week in the playoffs so there are less injuries, but what do you call this? The top 4 teams are playing today and we're on a bye. So even though we play an extra game in the playoffs it'll be the same amount of games the top 4 play, except our playoff game will be home, not a neutral sight, and not with committee prying eyes; and it'll have us hot and ready for the next game against the top 4. Life is good.
