"There doesn’t seem to be a program/ coach doing what Dan Lanning is doing since he took over the HC role. The clarity of program direction, the tight knit culture he’s established, the recruiting and commitment from those around the program, and the almost quiet nature that Oregon news breaks communicates to me that how serious this program is. There’s no need to celebrate, take victory laps, beat their chest. This is the expectation. This is the standard. Anything else will not be accepted. It’s just so impressive.."

Pretty good teams we competed with to get this player...

On a pay-site it was reported that your tweet above is from a fake account and not actually Jahlil Florence.

The best offensive line was manhandled by Playoff team Notre Dame, (49-14) and roughed up by the Navy defensive line? The Joe Moore winner?

Wow...he is the No. 1 Safety in the portal, but No. 5 among ALL positions according to On3! College Football Top Transfer Portal Players WWW.ON3.COM The best 2025 college football players that have entered the transfer portal.

Tasty, and only 45 seconds...

I recall a thread on one of the pay sites about five or six years ago, were there were pictures of Alabama players with their brand new cars, of BMW’s, and the pictures just went on and on and on. Now that Oregon is doing it legally, this has to be stopped! Blue Bloods do not want the new money at the table!

2024 Highlights...

Pretty high ratings, and thus why considered the No. 1 Safety in the portal. He got to see Oregon's team up close this season!

No it was not. Indy was a lot closer to Penn State by quite some miles. Look at Penn State's alumni base compared to Oregon's? Rather than say we are under-represented for our brand, I prefer to say that we have built our brand WAY beyond our alumni base and fans. Truly punching above our weight class...

How many stadiums in the B1G are over 100,000? How much bigger are the alumni bases than ours? In terms of travel...I think Oregon punches above its weight class.

Starts at 6:00 PM on ESPN. How does Idaho look now, from game one against the Ducks? How about our first foe in 2025 in Montana State?

Wowsa. Buckeye fan 'dissing 'Vol fans? Whew! Question: How does he know pigs so well?

He is the perfect blocking TE at 6'5" 265 pounds, to complement Kenyon Sadiq who can block, but also catch extremely well. It would be similar to the Ferguson-Herbert combo we have now. We are very familiar with this young man, as he was a big recruit we barely missed on in the past. A good get if it happens!

We covered this a couple of days ago. (And Google is your friend) How much does a team get for making the College Football Playoff in 2024-2025? With the new 12-team playoff comes a new revenue distribution model. For 2024-2025, here’s how much each team will make in the College Football Playoff: $4 million for each of the 12 teams that makes the College Football Playoff $4 million for each of the 8 teams that makes the College Football Playoff Quarterfinals $6 million for each of the 4 teams that makes the College Football Playoff Semifinals $6 million for each of the 2 teams that makes the College Football Playoff National Championship Game Additionally, each team who participates in the College Football Playoff receives $3 million to cover expenses for each round. Additionally, each conference receives $300,000 for each of its schools whose football team meets the NCAA’s APR for participation in a postseason football game. Each independent institution also receives $300,000 if its football team meets the same standard.

My solution? Go to 16 teams with NO BYES. It is four weeks with No. 1 playing No. 16 in week one, and the they play No. 8, then No. 4 and then No. 2. You know, like a normal bracket. Conference champions are automatically in the Playoff, but all are seeded with no byes or special privileges. So if a team who is No. 22 wins the conference championship via an upset or weird tiebreaker rules, then that team would be seeded No. 16 in the Playoff, but not given a bye or anything. And with 16 teams--nobody who could actually win the 'Natty gets left out. Although a home game on December 20th at Autzen would be chilly and wet!

Below is what Stewart Mandel wrote about Oregon's Seeding in the Playoff: ------------------------------------------------------------- Question: Did the Ducks get an absolutely brutal route to the final, or is that just me? It seems like a clear flaw that they have such a brutal path but are the No. 1 seed. — Asher S. SM: No question, No. 1 seed Oregon got the tougher side of the bracket. And for that you can blame what I believe to be the only notable flaw in the format: Manipulating the seedings to reward conference champs with byes. Oregon drew the winner of an 8 vs. 9 matchup of Ohio State–Tennessee, but those teams are ranked No. 6 and No. 7 by the committee. If the seedings matched the rankings, the Ducks would get the winner of Indiana–Boise State, which I’m sure they’d prefer. Then it would be the winner of No. 4 Penn State and No. 5 Notre Dame in the semifinal. Whereas currently, they could get No. 3 Texas. Meanwhile, No. 2 Georgia’s three possible semifinal opponents are the No. 6 (Penn State), No. 9 (Boise State) and No. 11 (SMU) teams in the country. That’s bizarre. In the basketball tournament, the No. 2 seed would play either the No. 3 (in this case Texas), No. 6 and No. 11 teams. So not only does this format allow teams ranked well below No. 4, like Boise and Arizona State, to earn a bye, but also the ripple effect messes with the integrity of the bracket. I don’t think they should run out and change anything after one season of data, but my guess is the current format doesn’t make it to Year 3, when the new CFP contract begins. But of course, the Big Ten and SEC will try to strong-arm their way to something much worse. Like a 14-team tournament where each of their leagues gets four automatic berths and their champs get the only two byes. This, of course, would be far more destructive to the CFP’s credibility than whether Boise State is the No. 3 or No. 4 seed. ----------------------------------------- Let's see, would I prefer the winner of Indiana-Boise State, or the current Tennessee-Ohio State? Or later get the winner of Notre Dame-Penn State or the current probable Texas? No brainer. Hosed again. Now nobody did not MEAN to hose us...but the fact remains that the loser of the B1G Championship game has a much easier bracket than the No. 1 Seed and that is WRONG.

Once you enter the portal--he can only get a scholarship back from Tulane if they offer it to him.

Amen. He is directly responsible for recruiting two the Rivals 5-Stars to the Ducks this year. Not easily replaceable...

Oh Yeah! And Chip Kelly TOO!

All the star ratings do is give us higher percentages of success as we go up the star scale. But 5-Stars are not 100%, and some just don't work out. I hope he gets a degree, and has great success in his life outside of football.
