Oregon has been getting 0 to no respect in the runup to The Rose Bowl. 'Lyle', Ohio, wants to stop The Duck.... But The Duck has other plans... We Got a Convoy!! First stop? Pasadena!

'Pig Pen(Buck Nut), this here's the Rubber Duck and I'm about to put the Hammer Down!!!

The playoffs are 4 teams too many. Possibly 6 teams too many. I truly hate the pundits that chirp about 3 loss teams deserving to be in and then not a word when they were decimated. Vols got 'smoked'. Why? Because it just means more....to the B1G. As for Joe'ja, I don't think they get past ND. Texas will fall to Oregon. It will be an SEC'less Natty. 3 SEC teams entered and 2 mediocre teams are left. Yep, I said it. Again, top of the line players but mediocre teams. Now, let me really go on a rant. If you think we had mediocre football in the first round, what do you think will happen when 4 more teams are added? Gonna put in a 4 loss team? Really? I want to hurl. #1 VS #16? Why? Yep, its all about money and always has been and always will be. I truly wish these guys would stop with the 'we need to see better football' mantra as they are bellowing for a 16 team playoff that screams mediocrity. You want tradition? That ship sailed when they crushed these conferences and bowl tie-ins. Stop whining and losing(SEC), it looks too much like preteen girls fighting over lip gloss. Just win and remove all doubt. After all, it should mean more.....right?

How many kids hit the Portal if Day is FIRED after this playoff run? If/when The Ohio loses to Oregon, Iys going to be S-W-I-F-T! Then Oregon plucks the creme De LA creme from their roster and only gets better!!!!!

Shocking he was a 5*. Any Freshman can play better. He just simply makes his completions to the other team. Its really sad.

In a world of Great Lakes and Oceans.....I love mud puddles, cuz they're shallow. Lol

Heading to a sports bar and grill with some friends for Ohio/Vol-leyball. I want the gurls to win so Oregon can beat as many SEC teams as possible in their quest for the Natty. Should get 2 with Teckis but Joe'ja wont be there in the end. I've got ND stumbling their way to the Natty.

Jason Fitz is my bracket. ND and Oregon. I view ND as a mirror of Penn St. One other thing, while I hate the gauntlet Oregon has to play VS other team paths, the Natty will be no question the exclamation point on Oregon's rise. What do I mean? Nobody will be able to say Oregon coasted to the NC game. No one will be able to say Oregon got lucky here or there. Its straight up hill to Atlanta baby!

That writer is delusional. Ask any kid on Colorado's team, 'Would you trade a Heisman for a playoff berth?' Also, look at the clicks quote, 'they are playing for clicks, our "TEAM" is playing for WINS!'. Congrats on winning the Heisman Travis, it was quite the accomplishment. What bowl game are you guys in again? .........crickets.

Such is the game of CFB. It ebbs and flows for Natty runs. Ask Georgia, Ohio St, Michigan, or Clemson. To reach the game is under 10%. Now, look at the CFB playoffs this year. Penn St and Ohio St. have a very good QB's but not great ones. But both defenses have been really good and been the difference. Now look at Oregon, a very good offense that has taken the entire year to become the juggernaut it is at the moment. But that defense has been a project as well from the beginning of the year. Continuity is enormous!! Experience is huge! My take is that the 2025 QB is going to have the best chance in development you will have for some time. The defense is much more important next year for said QB development. Then its 3 more years for Moore to find his footing and it all comes together huge in 2026. So, this year Portal isn't essential for next year's success. Would still take a QB and make everyone work for it. But, put your NIL money into the defense. It's been the difference in our run this year. We've never had one like this, and believe it or not, the defense can get even better.

so, she only needs to wait about 10 years and she gets a pot o gold and is only about 34?????!!!!

There is NO WAY Texas and Georgia play for the NC. Georgia is going to lose to Penn St. or ND. Texas has a straight shot to play us in the semis. We beat them. We have a demonstrably better QB, better receivers, and an equal if not slightly better defense. The Natty is going to be Oregon/ND(Penn St.). I hope its ND because we already played PSU. DUCK ON!!!!!!!!

I'm going to crow just a bit y'all, I mentioned in this thread that only 3 teams deserve to be in the playoffs and that they are all beatable. With Joe'Ja losing their #1 QB, thats all but certain that they lose. Defense is beautiful, but there are a lot of decent offenses in the playoffs. Tennessee and Texas ain't gonna win it....nope, they ain't gonna.

Next year sets up as an absolute gift for a QB to get his web feet wet. We play @PS and home with Indiana. Thats the toughest regular season games. No Ohio and no Michigan. Whoever is QB will be given a gift for development and plenty of room for mulligans next year. We could very well go undefeated in the regular season again.

The SEC is garbage this year. I'm not talking their players. The teams are littered with 4/5* everywhere. But, as a team, there is almost nothing that looks worth watching. Alabama loses to a .500 team 24-3, 3 times!!!! Ole Miss is getting OWNED by MSU????!!!!????? 2-9 MSU??? O-fer the SEC MSU???!!!!??? Only 3 teams from the SEC deserve to be in the playoffs. Joe-ja, Tennessee, and Texas. And those 3 teams look totally beatable.

riiiiiiiiiight...... Thats what Great Teams do to teams that lose, make them look unprepared. C U guys 12/07/24 .....We WILL be prepared!

I'm OK with Dilly winning it. ASU was licking the bottom of the gut wagon 2 years ago. Now? Contenders for the playoffs???? Whaaaaat??? Yeah, go ahead and give it to him now regardless of the season.

The whole SoS is bogus IMO. Its an opinion set before game 1 is played in August. Also, think being in the right conference matters? If Indiana was in the MW what would the 'Opinion' be? If they were in the SEC, what would the honks say? Another gripe of mine; because it all starts with opinion, if a conference had 2 loss teams all over the place, wouldnt you say that the conference isnt that good because the cream hasn't rises to the top? PAC12? BIG12? But, of the SEC has that scenario? Send the top 6 to the playoffs!!!!!! Pure homer-ism.

Seems this world is infatuated with hyperbolic language. It smacks of opinion and NOT fact. An injury is 'unfortunate' for the team, its 'devastating' for the player if its season ending.

This isnt the first time Comcast has done this and I'm done. YoutubeTV is coming into my household. I didn't even give Comcast a chance to fix this by Saturday. Utter ridiculousness. Oh, and its over $100 cheaper per month after bundling with my phone service as well thank you. Wings anyone?

Diamond Plate!!!!! Love it!! One of my favorite designs from the past 25 years, hands down.

Yes, you stack these kinds of kids. The #2's are what give a team the edge. Kids get hurt and you need as little drop off as possible on game 14 on the way to the Natty. You basically want two teams on defense. Play them all, all the time

I might have a different take. The walk on coach might have had a slighted view of a post from DL that is coach speak. DL was probably just coaching up the fans. Don't worry, we got this, '1% better'. I'm having a hard time believing Coach Lanning would take an administrative move, inside his coaching house, public over X. Also, Coach Locklyn leaving for a lateral move isnt necessarily sour grapes. He may never want to be a head coach. Getting every dollar while your brand is hot makes the most sense. In other words, its never exactly what we all think it might be. The truth is usually difficult to find, if ever.

...no lie. I remember seeing so much money come in each month that I misplaced checks. I know.....incredibly stupid. I was 25 and my thinking was clearly not straight. I could have been retired before 35/40. But, I didn't listen. Life is good, don't get me wrong, but listening to older ones, humility, is better. It benefits 'you' in the long run.

I would like to add; If these kids aren't going to make it in the NFL then you play for hire not for allegiance. After all, they play for a scholarship which is getting paid right? If Martinez isn't an NFL guy then he has 2 years to strike while the iron is hot. Which one of us wouldn't take a 2 year $1 million guaranteed payout at 20 years old? A 6% return on investment is $60,000 a year for life as well as a degree. Yeah, you go for it and set your family up. After all, isnt that what you go to college for?
