A Backward Incentive System In comparison, the No. 5 seed — currently Ohio State — has a much easier path. They are slated to face the 12-seed (Arizona State) and, if victorious, would then play the No. 4 seed Boise State, a less daunting matchup than Oregon’s. This disparity has sparked widespread criticism, with analysts like Joel Klatt pointing out the fundamental flaws in the current bracket structure. Klatt argues that the system undermines the value of going undefeated, creating a bizarre incentive for teams like Oregon to lose their conference championship to secure a more favorable position.

This is definitely what I want, and I'm sure that's the only thing that will be on Lanning's mind when he's talking to the team.

It goes completely against what a No.1 Seed should be facing that this situation exists at all.

That's a great point. I'm sorry I don't remember who posted it, but it showed that Duke has actually had a better season than Alabama has had. Yet, all the stories are about Alabama's plight.

I didn't get that from JH, on "Talkin' Ducks", but if ever there was a positive after a loss it would be this.

There's always this, Three years ago today Lane Kiffin was fired on an airport tarmac

This is something that should have been caught, but of course this is a committee that goes as far as keeping track of scores. George Wrightster, Once a Duck Always a Duck, says no question the Ducks should go for the No.1 seed. It doesn't matter which team you'd end up playing. Joey Harrington took the other side and said playing an extra game is an advantage if they're against teams that aren't as good. So, is it better to play 2 games against lesser teams, the first one at Autzen? Or play one less game, but aagainst a better team at a neutral site?

Move Boise State up, they just beat a championship team, 34-18.

So, I was just at my local Fred Meyer, saw a lot of fellow Duck fans, when all of a sudden, I hear, "Washington's beating you tomorrow!" I turn around and behind me is Beaver fan. First, I ask him why he isn't at home watching the game, he says, "I'm recording it." I ask him, "on your VCR?" He doesn't respond, so I congratulate him on the Beavs Championship. Again, nothing. But then it's "Ohio State is gonna kick your behind!" I say, "well, that'll be 2 of the last 3, and it might not be the worst thing to lose that one." Again, no response for a while, then, "You got lucky in Wisconsin!" He does say this with a lot of fire. He's one happy Beav. I give him an O and he gives me the finger. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm hoping you will be here all week! I'm laughing up a whole lot of bird. 😁

Eugene is his hometown; he's hated the Huskies his whole life. Oregon-Washington game about pure hate for Bryce Boettcher SATURDAYTRADITION.COM Oregon linebacker Bryce Boettcher did not mince words ahead of the Ducks' annual rivalry game against Washington.

Go Boise State!

Pritchard's shining moment!!! That game, he's hitting 3's all over, especially the game winner. I'm sure this year's Ducks will keep their property intact. Hec Ed is pretty much Baltic Avenue, but it can be used to store stuff.

Thanks, Charles for shining a light on the purple stain on the B1G. Washington athletics is like that commercial where the people knock over the cup of grape juice and are in a panic until a paper towel saves them. No paper towel can save the B1G. Fortunately, Washington is such a little drip it won't be noticed unless you strain to look for it. Detlef Schrempf. For some reason I can't get this guy out of my memory bank. He played at UW in the early 80's. He would play for the Pacers, Sonics and Blazers in the NBA, at Portland he was on the 2000 team that blew a 15 point lead in the 4th quarter of game 7 in the Western Conference Finals to the Lakers. How about Markelle Fultz? You remember him? He was a 1 and done from UW, No.1 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, that's the highlight of his career. Of course, you remember Ryan Appleby. The aftermath of an altercation with Aaron Brooks, that Brooks would attempt to make right This is basketball, there's so much more and we haven't even brought up football. But, OBD will take care of business on Saturday and set their sights on their real rival, osu2.

Alabama-Rutgers, 95-90, not a lot of defense. Both of them of them want to play fast, up and down rather than executing half court offenses, though both did occasionally. Alabama can definitely shoot, 52% from the field, 40% on 3's, they average around 11 TO's a game, had 20. Will definitely be the best team OBD has faced this season.

It should work out okay, the Ducks should be done mauling the Pups around 8:00 or so, and the basketball game should just be getting to crunch time.

Thankful that Oregon is in the B1G now! and that we're all here to enjoy it!

Is anybody going to pick Canzano's score tomorrow?

Interesting about the Huskies, not those Huskies, the good Huskies, except they aren't good lately. Uconn, back to back national champs started the season 4-0, and were ranked No.2. They have now lost 3 straight, to unraonked teams. The first were 2 point losses to Memphis & Colorado, the third was, 85-67 to Davidson.
