In the very constrained hypothetical presented: "Poof"! Today DG is now the BSU QB and Jeanty is now the Ducks' RB, and the Ducks now have to deal with backups at QB? Good points. I'd probably trade James for Jeanty too, but again, that's irrelevant to who I think should win the Heisman. I don't think Gabriel is the greatest QB to put on cleats, though as far as history goes, he's on pace to set two QB records, Jeanty probably won't break Barry Sanders' season rushing record. It has become a QB award, but I don't know if that is wrong. A quarterback has a lot more responsibility than does a running back, on every play in every game. "Game Manager" is seen as a hit on a QB, but in fact it is exactly what a QB should do, and what Gabriel has done extremely well this season, He probably would have more gaudy numbers if the offense wasn't also being "Game Managed." There's the Doak Walker Award for Running Backs.

SIDEARM Integrations GODUCKS.COM The Oregon men held the Griz to 23.1 percent shooting in the first half Friday, on the way to a 79-48 win.

I won't take explosive plays away from either Gabriel or Jeanty. I will however say that Gabriel is making his plays as he leads the Ducks through an undefeated season, with wins over 3 top 25 teams, including Jeanty's Boise State team. Meanwhile, as great a season as Jeanty is having, he's compiling his numbers as Boise State goes through a schedule of teams filled with players clearly not at his level. Except the one time, and Boise State lost.

So do I.

Go, Bruins!

Especially, until the last show, everybody makes sure to tell us, "the rankings don't matter now" and as for the metrics, every week the commissioner will explain how 1 team is picked over the other and then next week, it will be another two teams, no criteria is ever identified specifically. This is the only Commissioner I ever trusted:

Finebaum is pretty sure that Alabama could beat LSU tomorrow: “I like LSU to go down at home.”

Well, you know Beavis and their, "faceless opponents"

The Ducks, with their incredible to see, deep team, face the Grizz tonight, 7:00, on the B1G Network. Altman has used the portal like never before, including getting Stanford's best player from last season, Brandon Angel. Nate Bittle is back and is moving on the court better than we have seen before. SIDEARM Integrations GODUCKS.COM The matchup will air on Big Ten Network.

This is crazy! Vandy would beat all of those ACC teams!

It Went pretty well. in 2010, Oregon opened the season against New Mexico, the Ducks won, 72-0. Kenjon Barner filled in for LaMichael James, ran for 147 yards, 4 touchdowns and caught a pass for a 60 yard touchdown. Welcome back, Coach Locksley.

No. Do you have an answer to my question?

More to the point, would you trade Gabriel for Jeanty?

Thanks again, Mario.

The hits keep coming. Moss wants to transfer from QB Whisperer Riley to Michigan, where the RPO is RPO.

This is the year that "We want Alabama" would be okay, except it might hurt OBD's SOS. Milroe is exactly the wrong QB for DeBoer's system. You know who would be great in it? His initials are DG. If Oregon was still in the Pac-12, and they had beaten tOSU again, it would have just been an upset. Being in the B1G makes all the difference. On the first Playoff reveal show, Oregon at No.1 wasn't even up for discussion, it was, "Oregon is No.1, moving on" Not even TOSU honk, Joey Galloway had anything to say. The game that really will have some implications for the playoff's this week isn't Alabama @ LSU, it's Michigan @ Indiana. If Michigan can beat Indy, or even keep it to 7-10 points, we'll start to think, or if Indy treats Michigan the same way they treated State last week? Ohio State & Oregon will have some work to do. If the top 6 teams from the B1G & the top 6 from the SEC merged, that would be a Super conference.

There is a thought that the offense is flourishing as it is this year, by design, with DG's accuracy and timely runs leading the Ducks to 9-0 and No.1

Ridiculous omission, but Michigan @ Indiana, Oregon @ Wisconsin, Penn State @ Minnesota, Washington @ Oregon and Michigan @ tOSU??? All those mentioned are right there with Finebaum's "Vandy could."

It is. In the 4-team format, the SEC team always got 2 L's before they were eliminated. Now, Alabama or LSU are out when one of them has 3?, the other is still in with 2? I'm trying to see where else that consideration is given, and " Vandy could beat" is right there with "You could get wet if you stood in the rain." Would is the word you're looking for, Paul.

No offense to Jeanty, who is having an incredible year, at Boise State, in the MWC. I think if he were on a P4 school, he'd still have a great year, like a bunch of other great RB's on other P4 schools. He would probably be splitting time with another talented RB going against superior teams than he is now.

I agree. Penn State, Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan, USC, Washington, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Michigan State, UCLA Northwestern, Maryland, Rutgers. Purdue.

Ducks 48-17 3 turnovers 3 sacks 306 passing yards

"5 to 7 points" will still cover +13.5 Washington.

This is why Saban was so great for so long. Alabama did nothing but recruit 4 & 5 stars while Saban was there. I'm sure he was great with the X's & O's, but his ability to blend the star's and eliminate complacency is what made him the GOAT. Looks like Lanning is starting the right way.
