SIDEARM Integrations GODUCKS.COM Ducks take on Georgia Tech and South Dakota State at North Shore Showcase.

I really think it would be best to keep Tez out of this game. But I also believe that his absence is the biggest reason the offense has been treading water. Getting the cover is not important, but it would be nice to break 40, against the Mutts, without Tez.

It would work if somehow the CCG is such a blowout that the losing team is pushed down to No.6. If it was the Ducks they'd avoid Boise State and tOSU.

Duke all the way, Alabama's a basketball school!

How is it that there were 3 unranked SEC teams? Something has to be messed up!

I can't believe how wrong that thinking is, and he's lying. Would he think the Ducks would be better positioned to win the Natty if they had lost...to Boise State, Idaho. Ohio State? Yes, it would have been perfect, if at the end of the 8 week endurance test, Ferguson had dropped the 4th & 9 pass, or the interception hadn't happened, and they had lost at Wisconsin. But, darn those Ducks, they won.

Al Davis didn't know what he was talkin' about. No doubt about it, Oregon is well-coached and has the roster to hang with and beat anyone. My biggest reservation is that they have not tasted defeat yet, leading to them potentially playing tight in a critical spot.

Hating the Huskies is like breathing.

Super article, Alex, can't argue with any of your selections. But I agree with Hayward, it's impossible to leave BB out of a list of the most impactful players this season. Aside from the stats that Hayward noted, he's the heart of the dominant Ducks defense!

Oregon has had the longest run at No.1, and is the only unanimous No.1 this season, 3 weeks in a row now. No chaos in the AP Poll.

I've detested SC ever since they insisted that they were No.1 in 2020. This is a B1G win! South Carolina's 43-game win streak ends with loss to UCLA - ESPN WWW.ESPN.COM Fifth-ranked UCLA stunned No. 1 South Carolina 77-62 on Sunday, ending the Gamecocks' overall 43-game winning streak and their...

Seems like the right thing to do.

Even with the CCG coming up, the rematch with tOSU this won't be a trap game for the Ducks, not with those 3 losses in a row, that's a whole 25% of The Streak. Lanning has shown that he's a great motivator, OBD are getting a chance to refresh, going 12-0 is huge, Muhammad absolutely wants the W over uw. It doesn't matter to Matayo who the QB is, he's meat.

Klatt kept college football’s only remaining undefeated team atop his personal Top 10 even with the Ducks idle in Week 13. It only seems right, especially given the head-to-head victory over Ohio State earlier this season. But with the Ducks potentially facing a rematch with the Buckeyes in the Big Ten Championship game in Indianapolis, should Ohio State lock up a bid with a win in The Game on Saturday, all bets are off moving forward.

I can't help thinking how great it would be if Bucky was still at Oregon this season. He was Tez at running back, there would've been scoring in the 3rd quarter.

UW fans are loving this, so, a bit of a break to DeBoer, you can't get a QB more different from Penix than Milroe.

Sorry, Alabama, it’s over … A 9-3 team might/probably will make the College Football Playoff, but it most certainly will not be Alabama. Not after that eFFort Saturday night at Oklahoma — emphasis on the 2 Fs in “effort.” Just when you think Jalen Milroe might actually be great enough to overcome all of Bama’s obvious issues this season, the tackle and tight end miss their assignment and he RPOs into concussion protocol. Or a decoy wideout in a jumbo package misses his block and sets up a pick-6. Honestly, I can’t remember a worse Alabama offensive line or a weaker backfield. I can’t remember a defense pointing more fingers at one another than getting said fingers on footballs, quarterbacks and running backs. We’ve gone from Brother Routes that produced touchdowns and titles to, “Bruh, what was that?” Maybe Kalen DeBoer fixes this. Probably he doesn’t. But it feels like I’ve spent every other week jumping on and off this rolling Tide of inconsistency. No more. The 2024 season ended Saturday. It’s time to move on. Indiana, that was your Playoff game … If only the rest of the world applied the same standard of underachievement, right? Instead of rightly burying Indiana’s Playoff chances — DOD, 3:47 PM, Columbus, Ohio, 11/23/2024 — we’re about to be greeted with an avalanche of excuses. Cue the caveats and, please, keep promoting irrelevant stats compiled against the weakest schedule in Power 4 to tell us how explosive Indiana’s offense is. The scoreboard wasn’t broken 2 weeks ago against Michigan, and it didn’t lie Saturday, either: Ohio State 38, Indiana 15. Even that’s being generous. Ohio State left 14 points on the board, and both of IU’s TDs were aided by questionable pass interference calls. Even with the gifts, IU set season-lows for points, passing yards (68), total yards (151) and probably a few other less interesting categories. None of it was surprising — unless you only listen to pot-stirrers like Danny Kanell, Tim Brando and Co. pumping nonstop nonsense. My advice? Don’t. As I wrote 2 weeks ago, a below-average Michigan team exposed Indiana’s offense as a paper champion after allowing just 20 points, 2 TDs and 246 yards. I told you Ohio State would make the Hoosiers look even more impotent. They did. For weeks I’ve said forget IU’s record, this team doesn’t have enough NFL-ready talent and isn’t physical enough to play with Playoff teams. Saturday, Ohio State punctuated that sentiment with an exclamation point. Indiana finally played a worthy Playoff opponent it was a first-round TKO. Curt Cignetti specializes in acting indignant, so it was no surprise that he essentially called everybody who doubts IU’s Playoff bona fides a bumbling idiot. “So obvious,” he said, before shutting down the questioner. Oh, it’s obvious all right … I guess an SEC team should be happy, though. Getting to host Indiana in a first-round game would be the next best thing to earning a bye.

I think that Oregon now being the only undefeated team left, unanimous No.1 for a couple of weeks, and idle this week, wasn't going to get jumped by Ohio State, who lost to Oregon. The rematch is coming, keep everything the way it is for now.

Indiana, losing to No,2 Ohio State at the 'shoe, their first and only loss this season, has a much better case than Alabama, who lost a couple hours later to unranked Oklahoma, without scoring a touchdown. This was, under new coach, DeBoer, a poorer showing than its loss to Vanderbilt. Texas is at A & M next week. Indiana has Purdue at home.

...the Indiana loss more than likely sinks the Hoosiers’ Cinderella march toward a coveted Playoff spot. The Hoosiers are still 10-1, but they scored 20 and 15 points, respectively, against the 2 best teams they faced this season, Michigan and Ohio State. Far from perfect, Indiana’s fate now in the hands of the Playoff committee SATURDAYTRADITION.COM Indiana was no match for Ohio State. The question now is: How much will that 1 game matter to the Playoff selection committee?

OBD has to play with a controlled rage on Saturday. The Huskies are 0-5 on the road this season, making them 0-6 just requires a focused effort from all three facets, offense, defense and special teams. As Jordan pointed out in the article, Oregon is clearly superior across the board. When you have two quarterbacks, you have no quarterbacks. Is that the situation for the Huskies? Whoever it is. hopefully they'll be getting to know Jordan and Matayo and why not Bryce, and if he can remain upright long enough to throw a pass, Jabbar would love to pick it off. Missed field goals were a huge problem in the losses last season, Atticus won't let that happen, though if everything goes the way it should, he'll just be needed for a lot of extra points.

Auburn beats A & M, 43-41 in 4 OT's. It's Georgia, by default.
