Wilcon instead of Danno? WHEW!

Ditto - OBD No. 1 in the AP Poll. 😍 Texas, blown out at home and drops 4 spots. Boise State DNP and drops 2 spots. Indiana blew up a 1-loss team and moves up 3 spots. SIGH. SEC - One half of the conference is ranked with 0 undefeated teams. UGA 2nd is righteous. B1G - Five ranked. 3 teams are undefeated, 1. OREGON, 3. Penn State, 4 Ohio State, 13 (😒) Indiana, and 20 Illinois, a one-loss team that defeated a ranked Michigan team on Saturday. Wins Just Mean More and Losses Just Mean Less in the SEC.

More 'Home Town' Love For Stinkin' Lincoln. 😁 Lincoln Riley’s math on 4th down was right, but his heart was wrong TROJANSWIRE.USATODAY.COM Lincoln Riley’s decision to kick a field goal on 4th and 1 was not his worst decision ever, but it was still bad for reasons which do need to be explained.

What might the ratings be for a Ducks vs Domers PO? Boise at Ohio State. Which team would have more rushing yards?

Nuck! Nuck! Nuck! 🤣 'You call THIS a Report Card!' USC football report card for Maryland shows too much average play TROJANSWIRE.USATODAY.COM If you have been reading our USC football report card after every game this season, the Maryland report card is going to be very familiar. This is depressing.

Joel is most definitely full of Klatt!

Two of the ESPN AL's (algorithms) SP+ and FPI, show little respect for OBD. But Austin Mock's Playoff Mock AL, updated on 10/20/24, has Puddles flying sky-high. Some AL's are smarter than others. 😁👍👌 Here is Austin's (lots of football fans in Austin, TX are not happy today😒) Week 9 (Week 9 already!) Playoff field. Rose Bowl - No. 1 OREGON vs. 9 Clemson at 8 Notre Dame Fiesta Bowl - No. 4 Iowa State vs. 12 Boise State at 5 Ohio State Peach Bowl - No. 2 Miami vs. 10 Indiana at 7 Texas Sugar Bowl - No. 3 Georgia vs. 11 Tennessee at 6 Penn State Four B1G - No. 1 OREGON, No. 4 Ohio State, No. 6 Penn State, and 10 Indiana. Show Puddles The $$$! Impliedly - Ohio State defeats Penn State and Indiana. Oregon rematches with the Buckeyes in the B1G champ game and wins again. 😍 Three SEC - No. 3 Georgia, No. 7 Texas, and No. 11 Tennessee. Impliedly - Georgia rematches with Texas in the SEC champ game and wins again. And with three teams in the mix, Greg Sankey is not a happy PO camper. Two ACC - No. 2 Miami and No. 9 Clemson. Impliedly - Miami and Clemson play in the ACC champ game. Miami wins which would be the Canes only Top 25 win of the season. 😒 Greg Sankey doubles down as an unhappy camper with two ACC teams with weak conference schedules in the field. One B12 Iowa State. One Independent Notre Dame. One Group of 5. Impliedley - Iowa State (now 7-0 for the first time ever!) wins the B12 champ game. Notre Dame defeats both ranked Army and Navy after defeating a Georgia Tech team without its starting QB and takes a nap on Conference Champ Game weekend. Mountain West champ Boise State finishes 12-1 and plays the Buckeyes in Columbus. Still a long way to go. Here's to Wishing ILL on the Illini.

How B1G of a deal was the Horns win in Ann Arbor? South Carolina embarrassed Oklahoma in Norman. However, Hats Off to You Hairy Dawgs! Michigan played offense like it was 1924. Fielding Yost would have been proud. A geeked group of Illini are coming to Autzen. Who needs the Beach? The Bruins visited a Superfund site and found a win. "I'm going to visit China, India, and Baltimore." SC visited Baltimore and caught crabs. 😁 Not a Mary trip. Hawkeye was off-target in Spartyville. So much for that easy schedule. Holy 1967! "I win, Google me.' Is that a puckering sound coming from Columbus? Who knew, besides Cig and John Pont, that the Hooisers would be conference and playoff contenders? Nebraska was shucked. Next up, at 😁hio State. Denied permission to land in Lincoln, the Huskers are practicing this week in Hell, Michigan. A real town. Google it. The Badgers said, 'No Western'" The jury is still out regarding the Wisky O. Prove It Saturday when Penn State comes to Mad City. Coming from Tuscaloosa. 'DeBoer, HUH! What is he good for? Absolutely nothin!' One thing the Playoff folks get right. No rankings are released before November. Sending Jabba the Hut, er, Bret Bielema ILL tidings. We're Number One. WOW!

It Just Means More to give your head coach an extension after losing your bowl game to Arizona, running off the All-B12 QB Gabe in favor of a youngster who threw 3 INTS in said bowl game, and without a returner on the O line going into the B1G Boy SEC. What are these ADs smoking? What is wrong with paying someone a hefty salary and worrying about the guy getting poached when the contract should give the AD a 'Right of 1st Refusal'; an opportunity to counter a 3rd party offer? It's PRIME TIME. It took Neon 2 years to kind of do what C1G has done in one year. DeBoer, What Is He Good For? Not every 1 score game in Dixie will fill your cup.

Holy Hoosiers! 349 1st half yards against a statistically sound pregame D. Now, 49-7. 11/23 in Columbus could be very interesting. Indiana will be favored in every game on the rest of the schedule with the exception, perhaps, of the game in Columbus. Cignetti is doing this like Prime in 2023 but with far, far better results. I love Danno but Cig is the COY, to date.

Probably. But Moore can participate in four games and still redshirt. Novo was a 4* recruit purloined from Baylor. He came to Oregon with talent and has an extra year of experience playing for Coach Stein compared to Moore. Hard to evaluate QB talent on every level of football. In today's CFB, Oregon's 2025 QB could be playing for another team.

Taking of business every night Harris to the end zone standing upright Taking care of business doing fine And no working any overtime. 😍👌👍 Safe Home! Take the Fight Out of the Illini!

A Heisman for a player coached by Dan will not hurt recruiting. And it also won't hurt Dan's chances of bringing in a stud QB from the portal in 2025. Jeanty is draft-eligible in 2025 and is projected to be a 1st round pick. How many carries do Jeanty and his agent want against inferior competition? The young man after the 2025 draft will be a multi-millionaire. Risk this to injury? No matter what the young man does he will not attract enough votes outside of the West to win the Heisman. From a financial POV, he should shut it down now but thankfully, he's too good of a person and a teammate to do so. But if Boise does not make the PO, he should pass on a wholly meaningless bowl game.

The week off and an extra week to heal before a currently ranked Illinois visits Autzen and 11/2 at Michigan. I hope both Burch and Fergie will be good to go in Ann Arbor.

Hunter is expected to be full-go tomorrow in Tucson vs. Arizona. Jeanty has no Network games left. The Boise games are on CW. Boise's game at UNLV, the likely MW game of the regular season, will be shown on CBS Sports Network. If he doesn't beat Barry Sanders's rushing record, he may be invited to NYC but will not win. I think Jeanty could do OK in the Western region but not in the Midwest, East, and especially, in the Southeast.

Red Grange was B1G For Illinois and For ALL of College Football Remembering Red Grange, the 'Galloping Ghost' who made a Caitlin Clark-like impact on football in 1924 WWW.SPORTINGNEWS.COM Illinois legend Red Grange's most famous game came 100 years ago when he lit up Michigan. The Illini will honor the star this weekend who brought college football's popularity with him to the... Check out the sweet Illini throwback uniforms.

The Ducks flew in yesterday and will practice on the Purdue field today. Heading to the Eastern and Central time zones, Oregon will always arrive at least one day early.

Purdue - 17 wins over Top 5 teams when Purdue was not ranked leads CFB by a lot. Both SP+ and FPI predict a Ducks victory by 25+ points which would not = a cover. YIKES! DUCKS 42-21 2 2 360 Smear the Spoilermakers!

SP+ (S) and FPI (F) B1G Game Predictions. OREGON at Purdue - S Ducks by 25.6/ F Ducks by 26.4 - This is as close as SP+ and FPI get in the predictions. Nebraska at Indiana - S Hoosiers by 5.2/ Hoosiers by 10.8 Indiana QB Kurtis Rourke is the B1G's No. 3 QB— behind No. 1 Gabe and No. 2 Will Howard with far fewer $ per completion. 😁 But this game is a step up in competition. Wisconsin at Northwestern - S Badgers by 6.9/ F Badgers by 7.7 With NW's temporary small stadium on the banks of Lake Michigan, tickets for this game are at an all-time series high. Michigan at Illinois - S Wolverines by 4.9/ F Wolverines by 3.6 AL(gorithms) has never heard of The Galloping Ghost? Iowa at Michigan State - S Hawkeyes 11.2/ F Hawkeyes 8.2 1st game of Iowa's easiest 2nd half B1G schedule. SMEAR the Spoilermakers!

Regrets? None, Nada, Nudge, Zip, Zero. OBD's future is so B1G, I Just Gotta Wear Shades. 😍

Urban Is On Board. Danno Playing Chess, Urbs Played Checkers. Urban Meyer admits to Dan Lanning’s late-game brilliance: ‘I’ve been playing checkers’ SATURDAYTRADITION.COM Urban Meyer had to admit there was some late-game genius on the part of Oregon's Dan Lanning in the win over Ohio State.

More Kudos To Dan From Saturday Tradition.😍 Dan Lanning already is the new standard of B1G coaching SATURDAYTRADITION.COM The B1G has several elite head coaches, but Dan Lanning already has risen to the top in his first year in the conference.

Oregon vs. Purdue prediction, pick, spread, football game odds, where to watch, TV channel, live stream - CBSSports.com WWW.CBSSPORTS.COM Oregon is looking to avoid a Friday night road letdown on the heels of one of the program's biggest wins SMASH THE SPOILERMAKERS!

Even with a 2nd Loss at Penn State, tOSU is Looking PO Good. Ohio State called out for "weak schedule," playoff hopes hang in the balance SATURDAYBLITZ.COM The Ohio State Buckeyes are still in control of their own destiny, but some believe they're teetering on the verge of playoff elimination. The OOC schedule the Buckeyes played this season was a joke. But 2025 sees the 1st of an H+H with Texas, 2027 the first of an H+H with Bama, and 2030 the first of an H+H with Georgia. WOW!

Day is Night When It Comes to 'Getting It!' Ryan Day's reaction to Oregon loss shows he still doesn't get it—and never will FANSIDED.COM Once again, Day is preaching patience after losing a big game. Maybe it's time for that to change. HMMMM? Pretty good record for a guy who doesn't 'get it.
