So... Even though USC beat an inferior Iowa team they will get the same amount of credit for beating them as we do. But our win gets the Penn State treatment... Diminished for what happened after our game. I think there is an interesting discussion to be had about how do ranked wins count. Do they count in the moment, the end of the season, or something in between? Hard to say. It's probably an off season article for sure. I'll save that for later. But our win against Iowa regardless just lost its shine. Now time to beat the Trojans for them to get injured in the process and lose to UCLA and that win to become worthless.

And you know they're upset they aren't playing at their place when it would have normally rotated back to USC home but the conference change messed with that. And they dodged us in 2024. Bring on the Trojan Tears!

You mean when we put three tight ends on the field and move them into a run blocking formation and then into a passing offense? Yeah... that's a headache I'm sure they'll have next week.

The refs did call penalties on Iowa this week. I guess USC is more B1G than we are...

And Oregon moved up to at least 7 in the next rankings. 6 or 7 is kinda that sweet spot for us if we can get it.

Kinda crazy how much easier Iowa is if the refs actually call them for fouls. Not to say they are easy but if last week's refs were calling this game USC would be down by double digits.

Oof... Beavers getting destroyed by a 2-7 Tulsa team.

Jon Joseph put a stat up the other day that TAMU has played noby with something like opponents combined record is like 13-30. Getting exposed can happen at that point.

I can think of one TFL where Davison got completely drilled right after the handoff. It was an RPO and Moore made the right read to hand it off but sadly it was the right read because the play was already blown up and letting Davison take the hit was better than him taking the hit.

If the call was incomplete that wasn't going to be called a TD. So the call on the field being a touchdown cemented it. Even with that zoomed in picture I doubt it'd be a touchdown if the original call was incomplete.. But hey... I'll take it! Incredible catch..

Well Whittington didn't fumble so I don't have to yell at him and question his ability. So I guess that's good so far.

I suspect they'll probably shuffle if they need to. They cross train guys for a reason. Though I hope none of the injuries are too serious.

I didn't know this stat... but also... why am I not surprised????

Might be able to throw the ball this game. I wouldn't mind seeing the passing game gets going. Granted... will we have enough receivers to throw to? I hope so... waiting to see McClellan break out.

It's the same amount of games regardless... The bye just moves. If you miss the conference championship game you get. A bye that week but play a week earlier. Worst scenario is making the championship game and losing it and needing to play a first round game anyways.

Exactly! We don't belong here and are disruptive Interlopers!

I'm sure they have some... It might sprinkle and they'll need a full parka and umbrella for that..

I'm sure one has.. Also ... I've seen enough "Duck Hunt" signs at this point for multiple lifetimes. Get more originally people!

Our color pallet is just problematic right now. I'll leave it there because I've said it a million times. These uniforms are fine. They have green and yellow which is nice to see after so much black and white this season.

I feel the no.5 seed is a stretch. Too many SEC teams on the way. Also the 5 seed puts Oregon on the same side as Ohio State still. I would like to only meet them in the title game. I think Oregon can take anyone ranked ahead of them in the rankings.

It's unlikely for us to make the game for sure. I would love to play it and win it but not at the expense of a better playoff run. The format needs to change for sure.

I'd take 6 over 5. I would rather not be on Ohio State's side of the bracket. I think Ohio State will hold onto the No.1 spot as I don't see them losing this year to Michigan and I feel they would probably beat Indiana in the B1G title game. I'd take being on the Indiana side of the bracket for sure... I think we win in a rematch.

Number 6 is the dream spot in all of this... it's possible to hit but not sure how likely.

A decent portion of the national media is on board with Oregon being rough enough. The observant ones have been paying attention to Oregon in the Pac-12. But so many in the B1G that are either B1G centric or team centric just don't know Oregon or seem to want to know Oregon. The four Pac-12 schools were brought into the B1G because the media wanted them. Not so much the conference. Many schools in the conference were resentful about having to travel to the west coast last year and I can't imagine their feels have changed too much this year.

But Washington jumped around at Wisconsin just like Oregon did... Shouldn't that result in a win for them?
