I agree, the L to Oregon prompted changes in the defense, but this Ohio State team is not playing the quality of defense that the Champion Buckeyes played, hence not putting Nebraska away.

They could? The whole country saw Ohio State blow out the Purdue team that beat Michigan State the week before. Meanwhile ESPN had the Oregon game covered. College Football Playoff Predictions: Will Ohio State Buckeyes Jump Oregon Ducks? Ducks Wire Zachary Neel

That's right. To see it is to believe it. When Oh. St. wasn't in the Top 4 in the first rankings, ESPN said, "Don't worry, it'll work its way out". Of course it will. The Committee knows who it needs to take care of in the end, it's all just show, 'Are You In?' until the Final Ranking.

It's a scary thought, but...I don't leave Cincy to go to a desperate USC if I'm Fickell. Helton was not a Star Get when USC hired him, but he was the best they were going to get. Oregon's 'fanbase holds their breath during a Coach search; USC? A lot of them don't even realize Carroll is gone. They're Front runners, Rose Bowls, Playoffs, SnoopDog. If the Trojans aren't in the mix for the trophy, the fans aren't interested. This makes it hard for the AD to make a hire,

USC does not want to be Texas. But if they don't get the right coach this time they will really be in trouble. If Luke Fickell Turns Down Mike Bohn,  USC Faces Uncomfortable Possibilities Trojans wire Matt Zemeck

Yeah they knew it. This was "Pac-12 After Dark" after all. They have to stow a certain number of camera's away so they always have enough for SEC games.

I understand that he's frustrated, but that's close to Husky fan delusional. What Duck QB does he imagine would be throwing the passes so he and the other receivers would match London's Air Raid numbers? His personal frustration appears to have overwhelmed his awareness of the team's reality.

I can only think that "Cause" would take a lot more time and effort. UW would rather just pay Lake to leave.

Talk about a Double Whammy !

Yeah, Lake would be great there.

That's true, A coach is worth whatever a school will pay him. I believe that Mario really likes it at Oregon, and wants to finish what he's started. But if the other schools offer $$$ to get him, I don't expect him to tell them, "Nah, I'm good" if he isn't even the highest paid coach in the Pac-12.

From the coverage we did get, it sure looked like, "broke the plane" to me.

I think Cincy should be on ESPNU, Friday at 11:00 in the morning, 12:30 on ABC or ESPN would be fine for the Ducks, who also did well on at 9:00 in the morning on Fox,

If it works out on merit, it's a coincidence.

I was thinking the announcers had to be wearing Cincy sweaters, and wouldn't be surprised at all with the 3/4 swap.

And Erickson was also the Coach of Oregon States most successful season in history. 11-1, 2000.

I can see them jumping Oh. St. to No.3 and sliding Oregon to No. 4.
