And Finebaum isn't even the guy wrote it. Best Match-up for the Championship Game. 1. Texas v. Georgia An all-SEC national championship would ruffle feathers but it would still offer the best matchup possible. A rubber match between the Longhorns and Bulldogs is the trilogy this season deserves to end on. Georgia may have already won the series with two wins but if Texas could avenge both with a national title then that would be what everyone remembers.

If I'm starting a team from scratch, I'm taking a quarterback. Every time. The QB is the most important player on the team, his decisions, the plays he makes or doesn't make, have more to do with his team winning than any other player. Gabriel has taken that to an even higher level this season, one with Heisman moments every game.

There used to be a guy who would hear on the radio a few year's ago, not Phil Steele, but along those lines, and his insight was, "the teams with the best coaching & most talented players are the most likely to win." No kidding? Lanning has shown that he's at the top when it comes to making coaching moves this season. But even more than that is the recruiting. Fortunately. their aren't many coaches who are playing Chess against Lanning, and far fewer still are going to match the recruiting results. That guy was right.

They just looked at the stats, never watched the games, or notice that he barely played in 4 of them, a severe lack of critical thinking.

Love seeing this. "With us being on this legendary run, honestly, I’m just enjoying the legendary run. We’ll see after, I guess.”

I guess they can't give it to a "Second Team" B1G receiver.

I don't know what would happen. But I do know that Gabriel made play after play, in pressure situations, plays that he had to make, or Oregon loses. There were throws and runs. How many of Jeanty's runs did Boise State need to win the game. His run against the Ducks was good. Boise State lost.

As the kids say now days, "That Oregon defense was SICK!"

I've taken my shots at Cowherd. But he, as everybody else with a mic or a pen have, let it be known just how bad OBD got screwed by the CPF Bracket. Oregon may have to face, as the team with the best regular season, and the best CCG performance, will have to face the winner of osu2 & Tennessee, Texas and then Georgia, and Penn State gets the yellow brick road? What is going on? Penn State played Ohio State at home, and lost, played Oregon and soundly lost. How do they get an easier route, makes no sense to me!

Yes, and that is why I can't stand the QB of that Iowa State team, Mr. Irrelevant himself, Brock Purdy.

Way to support, Aaron Fentress!!!

As the writer says, "Oregon has been the best team all season...they have as good a chance as any team to advance to the national title game" And then win it is his prediction.

Tez probably doesn't show up, and what would the announcers have to talk about every game?

Thanks, Jon Predicting how far the B1G’s Playoff teams will go SATURDAYTRADITION.COM Can the B1G produce a national champion for the 2nd consecutive year? We predict how far all 4 teams will go in the Playoff.

Lanning set the tone immediately. We and everybody else have filled the space pointing out how totally the formers of the bracket, the conference commisioner's, not the Committee, screwed the No.1 team, OBD. But Lanning would have nothing to do with any of that. Just like the 8 game test, "miles to go before you sleep" the Ducks overcame and vanquishing yet another B1G blueblood in the redundant CCG, OBD came out on top. After this nice break before the games begin again, it almost feels like Oregon wouldn't know what to do with the easier walk to the championship that Penn State has.

Completely,

That is very cool, hopefully by now Oregon fans are expecting wins and won't rush the court when they happen.

Often enough, 2009, Mark Ingram, 2015, Derrick Henry, 2020, DaVonta Smith, 2021, Bryce Young. Absolutely. In the biggest games, he had his biggest "Moments", running and throwing, recovering a fumble.

Fantastic. A walk-on becomes one of the integral players of the defense on the No.1 team, congratulations, BB!

The Ducks SOS would have been better if the Huskies hadn't lost to WSU and Rutgers.

He's got mine too. It's not just a trend that QB's have won the Heisman lately, they are the single most important player on the team, and Gabriel has taken his team to 13-0 and No.1 in the nation. Ward has bigger numbers; Miami is sitting at home. Jeanty has had a great season, congrats to him. He had a great game, at the start of the season against the Ducks. Hunter had a great season, but that great season, along with Sanders at QB, didn't get the Buffs to the Playoffs, it got a lot of clicks though.

It is exactly where Lanning wants his team, we, and Klatt and pretty much everybody else know the Bracket is ridiculous, but Lanning isn't wasting a minute on it. In his interviews, Manuel was always careful to say that all the Committee was asked to do was rank the teams 1-25. It looks like they were able to do that. What happened afterwards was out of their hands.

This, and get rid of CCG's. Oregon went undefeated, 9-0 in the B1G, they obviously won the conference. Even if one of the teams isn't undefeated, if it has a better record than the next team, they're the champion. If the teams are tied, use the tie breaking formula, but don't have a CCG. Giving the conference champions the Bye's is ridiculous, the 4 best should get them, if they happen to win a conference, fine, but they might not and still be one of the top 4. The G5 should have their own Playoff, instead of just sticking 1 team in with the Power 4.
