Oregon buying recruits.......you mean like Bama and USC used to do illegally. No. The rules have changed and Oregon NIL has the right to pay recruits. Just like all programs. Of course if the coaches making these charges come from areas like LA, Chicago, NY, SF, Dallas, Austin etc., areas that have tons of cash, are unable to raise or manage cash....who is to blame. By the way......Ohio St, that exists in a cow town Columbus in Ohio gets just about anyone they stare at.......why.......because the truth is cash is important but......facilities, coaching staff quality, weather, development history, academics, area around the university, team quality, mom and dad location, TV exposure and head coach experience, record, personality etc etc etc have a role. Lanning is a great coach.......others are not. Some coaches do not have the management ability, leadership, personality, work ethic and motivation of a Lanning.......don't blame Oregon. Teams in California and the SEC operate in areas loaded with talent......Oregon is not......should Oregon whine and cry about that or get to work. Oregon was competitive long before NIL. They played in a national championship game back in 2010.....long before NIL.

Jon, As a Ducks fan......your last statement makes me sad. As a USC fan.........your last statement makes me happy. As a football fan........I'am disgusted these coaching pretenders get millions for knowing very little while the kids for years received a free education, so, even tho the system seems like a mess, for now, kids have at it.

Just win a NC.

Justus Terry is also gone. In plain language.......Lincoln Riley can't recruit for sh--. As for its only due to Knight......USC is loaded with Billionaires on their boards that are willing to throw tons of cash around. Riley is just a dud. The latest preseason college ratings are out.....nice to be in a conference with 6 teams in the top 25 and 3 in the top 10. 4 in the top 15.

It would be essential to get a first round bye or at least home field. So win as many as we can.

I truly believe that Lanning is very close to that hallowed ground that Saban and Carroll were in.......he is not recruiting......he is selecting. Once you enter this ground you don't rebuild, you reload. All that is left is to win a NC. Once he does that he'll be able to have 5 star folks at backup positions across the board. He is close....very close.

NCAA.......are they still around? I guess if a cousin needs a job it's better than nothing.

How bout a entry case with a couple of NC trophies.

LOL.......just win baby. Going 15-0 should shut these morons up......and there is a good chance.

All nonsense

Whoever wrote that list is not being fair. Of those I watch regularly, IMO the Illinois coach and Smith are better than ranked. Day, should be down the list in the middle. LR......the USC fans don't recognize yet that they hired a con man. Rhule should be up a bit more.

As someone who watched every second of his college career.......I'd love to draft him at number 20 or lower........number one.....absolutely not. I could say a lot about his performances.....but.....I'll just say that I'am convinced that USC beat Louisville in its bowl because Williams was not the QB. For folks that watched him......he has a lot to answer for......his stats were juiced by a coach that viewed him as the whole show. While the team lost. His accuracy is not what everyone seems to think. He worked with probably the best WR corp in the country most of his time at USC. The offensive line was bad but it was made worse by Williams and his hold the ball, sand lot style of football. In the pros he'll face DE's every week that will have the quickness to deal with elusiveness. His decision making......the bears may be sorry. As a bear fan of 50 years......they should have kept Fields.....traded down for another number 1 and taken three great players in the first round. The McCaskeys are known to be the types that just don't want to pay except every 30 years or so to put a team together. He might work out......but......I think there are better bets out there.

Sort of like the host on Bachelor telling the ;ladies that its the last rose for the evening. Even he has been mocking his role.

No where good. Unfortunately.

With the type of talent at Ohio St......ouch!

Free agents......Who wants to pay 10% of their earnings to the state of Oregon.

If I had to guess DL is looking at an NFL head coach job after winning a NC at Oregon.

Moss looked very good......which kind of made Riley look foolish for shopping around for a starting QB.

Sounds like his wife told him......happy wife happy life......unhappy wife Good Gosh help you

Well in all fairness....weather not even close.....it's horrible there.......my son who lives in Dallas was married in Austin in September.....,.the entire wedding party was soaked an hour into the ceremony.....and the heat runs from April to October....... .they won 3 NC.....the last one in 1939.......84 years ago.......one big 12 championship to their credit.....yes they have cash.....so does Oregon.......oil money is there but Knight is the 25th richest in the world......facilities......seriously.......the Oregon facilities are the top dog.....granted A&M is maybe second.......as for the grand SEC.......the BIG is roughly equal to the SEC.....but with the west coast going BIG.....I'am not sure that is true any longer.....oh the sec is putting on Oklahoma....so what.

A few months ago this might have been a threat......now that Oregon is BIG......why would a coach that has it made want to ruin it. A&M fans think their program is a move up.....it's not.....in fact it's a move down. Oregon has the facilities, fan support, weather, cash and is now in the BIG on the best channels......all that is missing is a few trophies....and that may be coming.

Good half....just come out and score. Keep putting pressure on Williams...it's only a matter of time til he throws a stupid throw.

Riley used Grinch as a foil to survive another year and collect his 10 mil. The special teams at USC have been horrible. The OL has been like crap The recruiting has been subpar DB's playing like crap LB's playing like crap So they fire the DC and pretend they solved the problem

USC fans are grateful for this time. Hide the blowout. It's going to be eye opening for them. What a mess. Riley is incompetent......at 10 mill per year.

It's not Oregon.....it's Cal.....nobody watches cal.
