The Heisman Trophy Poseur
The Heisman is given to the best football player in the country. Not the one who people feel is least arrogant. There is no denying Travis Hunter is the best player in college football. He is a finalsit for the the Biletnikoff, for the best wide receiver and the Bednarik Award, given to the best defensive player. Many of his posses are done with his teammates. So the I over team thing seems completely personal. Thankfully outside perception of a person carries little weight when it comes to awards and draft selection. Here is wishing Travis Hunter nothing but success in the next game and in his NFL career

Colorado is Going to Win the Big 12
I consistently here about Deion Sanders ego. It feels like it comes from his playing years over three decades ago. And there is not enough space here to debate what that exactly was then. But now if anyone has taken the time to watch his entire press conference and not just the sound bites. Which I have many times. There is no ego. He calls all the reporters mam and sir even though he is decades older than them. He reads the scholastic achievementa of his players before getting into their on field success. I know many will point to his " I am bringing my Louis Vuitton luggage" or "We're keeping receipts" comments. But after Cignetti's "I win Google me" we hear nothing but praise. Not ONE person said OMG check out that mans ego. Find one comment Deion has said that is more egotistical.

Colorado is Going to Win the Big 12
Guess Mr. Sanders is a better coach than people gave him credit for. O-line still has issues. But Shedeur is the best quarterback in college football. No slight to Dillon As for Utah they are literally playing their fourth string QB. Don't know how our season would be going doing the same. Yeah Dilly has definitely turned that program around. And The Big 12 will only get one team in. The question is will the Big 12 champ or Boise St get the first round bye.

Kirby is Smart and He Has a Point
Sounds to me like Kirby was describing what can happen in any football game. The question is what are you going to do about it. And if you can't figure out how to come back and win. You are probably not good enough to win a national championship. It wasn't that they lost to Ole Miss. It's how bad they looked doing it. And no watching film doesn't give you a perfect idea of how teams look in person. But A. They watch a lot of games. And B they all have been around football for many years. And have been up close and personal with the teams. Stop whining Kirby and win. If Georgia lost yesterday they would be below .500 against top 25 teams. Not a recipe for winning champions.

Re-Ranking the Committee's Week 11 Poll Using Strength of Record.
I am curious where you got your SOS. Because I would like to know their metrics. Yesterday I spent way too much time looking at various strength of schedule metrics. One major issue is if they update weekly or are from the beliefs at the beginning of the year. Most I looked at gave ni reasoning to how they got there. Georgia had a range of 1 to 23. Indiana 56 to 100. And from what I have read Georgia had a SOS of 100 when the first rankings came out last year. And nobody whined because it was Georgia. I have not been able to verify their SOS from last year though.

SEC Bias Alive And Well
Here's an article saying what we in the PAC-12 ( may it RIP) have been saying for years. Cannibalization is a real thing. SEC Bias: CFP rankings committee rewards SEC for things others are punished over FANSIDED.COM

Lanning/Crepea Repartee During Dan's Presser Last Night
Interesting comment by Dan. I hears folks talking on a sports radio show about coaches that "help out their fans". They brought up Nick Saban as one. Maybe Dan has taken the same approach, when appropriate.

Maybe Ohio State Just isn't That Good
Maybe they don't change. Arrogance like theirs doesn't dissipate after one loss. Especially one the other team didn't earn. 😁

Some Pundits Get It
Don't know if anyone else saw this. But for Urban Meyer to make this statement says a lot about him.And of course our coaching staff. Great time to be a Duck Urban Meyer breaks down Dan Lanning’s 12-man penalty decision: ‘They are playing chess’ WWW.ON3.COM .

Oregon Football: The Deep Ball Is Back!
The 4th and 2 play looks like a bad call because it failed. Tez was wide open so it was a good play, just bad execution. Had Ohio St. recovered the onside kick many would have called that a bad decision . We recovered, so it was a brilliant call. The challenge with an aggressive coach is just that he is aggressive. So we have live with the outcome positive or negative. The onside kick got us 3 points.The 4th and 2 lost them. But could have got us 7.

Results Against Common Opponent -- Michigan State
Aainst tOSU MSU drove into the red zone on two of their first four possessions. Came away with zero points due to turnover on downs and fumble. Got to the 37 on another of the four and lost another fumble. Outside of the first drive and garbage time, mid fourth quarter, MSU didn't get past the 50 yardline against OBD. Well technically they got to our 48, but lost yards on the next play and were back on their side.

My Sunday Game Observations: More Progress Than I Thought...
I was yelling exactly that at the t.v. And the worse part is the ref is looking right at it. So frustrating.

Elite Recruiting Mountain Too High for Ducks’ Lanning?
Location is definitely a negative. However, I do not think it is as big a negative as it was in the past. The biggest issue with distance has been family being able to see games. With NIL top recruits can afford to fly their families in to see them play. So now it's scheduled vacation time to see new parts of the country.

NIL - The New Reality
There is so much to unpack here. And we don't know the details. But let's be clear if the school only paid this young man 3% of what he is owed HE DID NOT QUIT on his team. Dan Lanning has a $7,000,000 contract with the Ducks. Think he would still be coaching at $210,000? Of course that would never happen. But you get the point. The expectation has always been one sided.The player owes the school, but not necessarily the other way around. Well the chickens have come home to roost.

Sports Psychology Extrapolates a LOSS for the Ducks vs. the Beavers
I think this may be the case of spoiled fans instead of spoiled players. For two years we had a top five offensive line. Now we don't and somehow the players aren't working hard. They are just fat on NIL. Anyone with a chance to be first or second day will make tens if millions a year. Top NIL on the Ducks is 1.5. Who in their right mind is going to coast on that. Most are under 500k. Perhaps instead of buying the hype the line is actually figuring it out. It's very possible they are more frustrated than any of us.
