C'mon...Hoosiers have no idea.... Turn up the sound!

Great to see A'Mauri getting some NFL love!

More love for Lanning, and I would agree that Lanning is gifted in this area...

This is a BIG Oregon verbal, that many think is the best HS corner in the country...

Good Gosh...our Duck is so much fun!

Wow...I did NOT see this coming before the season!

Landon is a GREAT analyst for Penn State, and is quite fair.

That is what my "ex" used to say...."you are easily amused." You mean, at least one of us has a sense of humor? But she was right...I am easily amused, and I think you'll be amused with this thread.

Oregon not only won the football Big-10 Championship last year, but the Ducks were the BEST overall athletic department in the conference in our FIRST YEAR. B1G Surprise: Oregon, West Coast Teams Dominate Big-10

And YOU are the perfect example of how this community as much or expertise than the "experts" who write nationally. NOBODY can compete with our own "Schedule-Maven" in Jon Joseph!

The Big-10 is the elite academic and sports conference, and our placing could be "relative" compared to other conferences, such as the SEC. It reminds me of when people in Alabama are scolded about how the mortality and literacy stats for their state are near the bottom of the nation. Their answer? "At least we're not Mississippi!"

Oh sure, many of the national pundits/experts/writers offer good takes that make you ponder, but how many predicted Oregon to beat Penn State? Four out of five on the ESPN GameDay panel picked the 'Lions over the Ducks... In the preseason, how much did we hear about Texas (3-2), Penn State (3-2), or Clemson (2-3) being not only in the top-5, but often were Preseason 'Natty favorites? While we like to hear these guys give Oregon respect...in the end we get just as good as takes on the national situation from the good people of this forum. I recognize how hard it is to predict these things, (as our weekly prediction contest humbles us all) but those misses on purported top-5 teams is pretty massive. I have always been skeptical, but doesn't this alter your perceptions of the national media a bit more?

OREGON ATHLETIC COMMUNICATIONS FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2025 OREGON FOOTBALL | @OregonFootball ESPN’s “College Gameday” returning to Eugene EUGENE, Ore. – The Oregon football team will play at the site of ESPN’s “College GameDay” pregame show for the second straight game when the Ducks host Indiana on Oct. 11. Two weeks after the show was produced from the site of the Ducks’ double-overtime win at Penn State, “College GameDay” will make its 13th all-time appearance in Eugene when Oregon returns from its bye week and hosts the Hoosiers. The game will be televised by CBS, with kickoff scheduled for 12:30 p.m. Oregon will play in a top-10 matchup against a fellow undefeated team for the second straight game as well. After knocking off the then-No. 3 Nittany Lions on the road, the No. 2 Ducks (5-0, 2-0 Big Ten) will host the No. 8 Hoosiers (5-0, 2-0) in Autzen Stadium. It will be the eighth all-time matchup of top-10 teams in Autzen, and the first since Oregon’s win in 2024 over Ohio State — also the last appearance for “College GameDay” in Eugene. The Ducks are 20-13 all-time when playing in a game featured by “College GameDay,” including 9-3 at home. Oregon improved to 8-4 all-time on the road when “College GameDay” is on hand by beating Penn State on Sept. 27. The set for “College GameDay” will again be situated on the Memorial Quad on the University of Oregon campus. More details on the production will be announced as they become available.

Damn this is brutal. Lost 27-23...so you are at the bottom of the Group-of-Six? At what point am I finally going to feel sorry for them?

Thanks to Florida again! We love you GatOrlando!

Penn State...

Florida beat Texas 29-21, and our superb OBD member, GatOrlando, has been suffering through the beginning of the season. We've all been there, and I am very happy to know how delighted he probably is. While it is not beating Florida State or Miami...beating Texas has to rank right up there! Sweet!
