Will Five-Star Na’eem Offord Flip From Ohio State To Oregon Ducks, Dan Lanning? WWW.SI.COM The No. 1 Oregon Ducks are pushing for five-star cornerback Na’eem Offord, who has been committed to the Ohio State...

Saban thinks so too: “On the big picture side of it, I just don’t think that people are taking enough account into what is your strength of schedule? Who did you play? Who did you beat? Who did you lose to?” Saban said on The Pat McAfee Show on Friday. “This is the fifth Top 20 team that Georgia has played. Texas played one and they got beat by ’em. Which was Georgia. And we could go through every team but I think it’s not just ‘I’m undefeated’ or ‘I lost one game,’ it’s ‘Who did you lose to? Who did you play? Who did you beat?’ I like the way they do it in basketball. They’ve got this RPI rating or whatever they call it and you beat so many good teams, that means something. Well we need to do that in football and not just look at the record.”

I'll agree with you here.

Very true.

Oregon wins! 38-16 4 turnovers 2 sacks 286 passing yards

They are punching above their weight class, this year's Michigan is below their weight class, and they struggled.

Not sure that's a great pitch for season tickets.

Yes, Indiana was dominant over teams with a combined 35-48 record, against 5-5 Michigan they struggled.

Perhaps, rather than focusing on the letdown in the 3rdquarter we could focus on the Ducks starting the games so well. "Every team is going to give them their best shot" That starts with the opening kickoff and the Ducks have handled that every week and taken care of business the rest of the game.

Take out the Go5 games, it's still ND, 3 to 1. As the saying goes, "Everything is BIGGER in Texas, and the Committee is going to tell us that "Texas is Baaack" whether they are or not. Every week Cowherd tells us that Texas has the most talented roster. Saban spent the whole GameDay diagraming the plays that Texas would run all over Georgia with. Cowherd also says to "take Wisky & the points."

Absolutely, that's what ugly wins are for. The Maryland game was a break, with some plays to break up the monotony of 7 games in a row. It was like hooking the surfboard to the back of the aircraft carrier in the 5th month of a West-Pac deployment.

I'll disagree about the schedule strength. Notre Dame has played 6 teams with winning records, A & M, NIU, Miami of Ohio, Louisville, Ga. Tech & Navy. Indiana has played 1, Nebraska.

“I can tell you very easily, I would not play for Lincoln Riley,” Paul Finebaum Says He Would Not Play For USC Trojans Coach Lincoln Riley WWW.SI.COM The USC Trojans are 4-5 with three games to go. This is USC coach Lincoln Riley’s third year with the program, and he has yet...

Eight SEC teams could finish with 2 losses, 90% of SEC fans would have no problem having all of them in the Playoff. [And the other 10% would be drawn and quartered by executioner Pawalll. ]

The "NFL-Lite" comparison is derogatory to a lot of fans who want to stay separate from the pro's. But with NIL and the portal it's getting close. The Playoff's work fine in the NFL because there is uniformity, alas that will never exist in college. We're stuck.

I believe you forgot that Wisconsin is also UW....as it was confusing to me as well There shouldn't be two of them in the same conference.

Of course it's Cowherd. Each hour of his show, a very slow Thursday. he brings up the "story" about the NFL being a possibility for Lanning, as if the "story" was the culmination of research, not that it's the wish of some writer with an Ohio background.

I'bve never been a 49er fan, but good on Lenoir!

This Brian Jones says, "Ducks all the way, Mate!"

So,39 just doesn't do it?

SUC is having a garage sale on recruits, just hit with a violation, is being upstaged by the basketball school across town, are stuck with a $80-90M buyout for Riley. Now it makes sense to not have names on the back of the jerseys, and Snoop Dogg isn't coming to the games anymore.

The Ducks have yet to lose this year and have been at the top of the first two sets of College Football Playoff rankings. To make this matchup favor Oregon even more, Wisconsin has lost two games in a row and just fell to Iowa by 32 in Week 10 before a much-needed bye in Week 11. However, CBS college football analyst Brian Jones is rolling with Wisconsin to upset Oregon on Saturday. "Wisconsin over Oregon," Jones said with a smirk on his face.

From Athlon This summer he told another ESPN reporter, Paolo Uggetti, "I feel like I have the things necessary here to win. So how much money does a person need to make? What do you really need in your life? For me, I want to be in a place where I can win championships. I feel like we're close to that here. And then there is a level of loyalty to people that gave you an opportunity. Why should anybody ever trust me again if I, if I do leave here for something else?"

Michigan has gone all in, in hopes of landing five-star signal caller Bryce Underwood. The Belleville product is an LSU commit but that's not stopping the Wolverines from doing all they can to keep him in the state of Michigan for three-to-four more years. First, it was 'Michigan is offering $5 million' to Underwood. Then $5 million turned more into $10 million, but it appears the Wolverines have upped the ante in hopes of swaying Underwood to come to Ann Arbor. According to On3's The Wolverine, Michigan is prepared to offer Underwood a $10.5 million deal over four years.
