Yep, the course that is taking Michigan to the Playoff. Harbaugh is a quarterback, so a different DNA than is Mario.

The Playoff has already created a "Have & Have Not" Culture. The Final $4, then the NY6, and the rest, who really cares?Mycah Pittman showed where a player's thinking is. Riley had CFP appearances and back to back Heisman winning QB's, but when U$C called it was "See Ya, Oklahoma" Even Paul Finebaum understands that expanding the Playoffs is essential if College football is to continue.

Dante has been really impressive in the last two games, coinciding with Richardson finding his game again, the Big and the PG functioning at a high level is essential. BYU and the Maui Maulings saw the Ducks standing around. Ernie was right, "Move" was what they, and the ball, needed to do. Both were happening much more frequently in the last two games, and, getting a tough close win over Riverside meant more than did the blowout of Montana;, not that it guarantees anything, the last game for ASU? 51-29 L at home to WSU.

If He goes 5 minutes after the game, I will have no problem recognizing him as a Duck. His time at Oregon would not have been a quick stopover/ Mario put Oregon back in the national college football conversation. His recruiting? We can only hope that his successor can keep it at the same level, at least two Conference Championships. I say Mario is all Duck.

We ought to just go back to the Pac-8. Expanding with AZ ASU, then, CO. and UT. have just made things worse.

Why did Larry and so far GK, thrive on inertia? It's like they bought in to Frost's now debunked recruiting excuse, and won't accelerate the conference to compete with the other P5's?

Yes they did, but winning the conference needs to be THE Thing to get in the Playoff, and with 'Bama & OH ST., whatever Committee it is, has said, "Who Cares!, Come on, Tide, Buckeyes!" The Committee doesn't care that they're shameless.

Definitely. So far Alabama has made it without winning the SEC, Ohio St. made it w/o even winning its division, and the Penn St. that beat Ohio State, won their Division, and the Conference didn't go, but the Committee says it follows protocols.

I still say that Boise State's with Moore at QB would have cruised past Cincy to make the Playoffs, except Boise St. is from Idaho so the Committee could not have cared less about them, and the Boise St. TV market wasn't appealing either. Meanwhile, Cincy is in Ohio, last year they played Georgia tough (that seems to be a thing, even though Cincy did that last year.) The Committee desperately wants to show that it can include the little guy, and Cincy is perfect.

Those do seem to be the 4 teams, , but I'd go 1. Georgia 4. Cincy 2 Michigan 3. Oklahoma State

Which one of these isn't elite?

In this year's "Take Us to the Playoffs" playing the role of the cute little kid pulling the heartstrings, Cincy!!!!

Could Riley have been California Dreamin'?

Not only the dollar. Riley, though he denies it, made the move to USC because he thinks it will be easier to win there than it will be with Oklahoma in the SEC.

Hey Darren, that was a knockout! Rocky lll is my favorite of the series and who knew that it was made for this 39 years ago!

It could not have been worse when the Ducks were obliterated by Utah two weeks ago. But Oregon has a chance to make up for it, get a 3-peat as Conference Champion, and, the Rose Bowl. Oregon is excited at the opportunity to make up for embarrassing loss to Utah Duck Territory Matt Prehm

Dyer was down, Harris was in.

File this in the Who Cares File if you wish, Fox Commentator Joel Klatt has Utah at No. 10 in his Top 10 poll. We will see where the Committee has Utah and Oregon in a few minutes.
