Ohio State with a tougher schedule than Oregon? Horse Hockey! Fornelli provides no information on what criteria he used for this ranking. Fornelli is one of many who do not take Oregon's 8 conference games in a row with trips to Michigan and Wisconsin in November into consideration. Perhaps he did so, but who knows? Using opponent's records in 2023, Oregon has a far more difficult schedule than Ohio State. This article is further evidence as to why the PO Committee must use a standard strength of schedule model with the model's details fully disclosed. Based on this 'let's wing it ranking' a 10-2 Oregon might not be a PO lock.

Dan Lanning is the B1G's Best Coach!

Dan Lanning is the B1G's Best Coach!
Warning! This is according to the Michigan Maize+Brew site. Buckeyes Wire and Eleven Warriors Buckeyes sites might have a different opinion. 😁 Preseason Big Ten football head coaching power rankings WWW.MAIZENBREW.COM Where does Sherrone Moore land prior to the season? The author does not pull any punches in his analysis of B1G head coaches. Cruel to UCLA's Foster and PJ Fleck among others. Michigan's Moore did well last season as a head coach pinch hitter but No. 3 in his first season replacing Harbaugh seems a tad high.

I like the Ducks brotherly love. A WR has an upfront and personal ability to judge the play of DBs. Oregon wideout Traeshon Holden singles out Jabbar Muhammad as best DB in college football WWW.ON3.COM Holden was ready to stump for his new teammate amid a crowded field of top defensive backs in college football in 2024.

B1G Media Day: Not a Great Start for UCLA
Oregon Ducks, SC's 2024 schedule gives SC a chance, even if in the minds of the media it's not a B1G chance. SC does not play Ohio State or Oregon in 2024. SC's schedule strength is goosed by playing LSU and Notre Dame out of conference. A loss or even two losses OOC will not impact the conference race. Notre Dame visits LA for the last regular season game. There is a lot of football to be played before the Domers come to Tinsel Town. In even years the Ducks have 5 conference home games. SC is on the road for 5 games in even years but on the whole, the road games are not that difficult. Troy makes a 3M road game circuit: Michigan, Minnesota, and Maryland. SC also plays UW in Seattle and the Rose Bowl vs. UCLA. Penn State, Wisconsin, Nebraska, and Rutgers, all visit LA. With The Grinch Who Stole Defense gone, SC made tackles in space vs Louisville. And SC's speed advantage in the Holiday Bowl was obvious. SC has a Blue Chip Roster and few 'traditional teams' in the B1G can match SC's speed. Will a total coaching change on the D side of the ball make a difference on both lines of scrimmage? We'll get an early look in 2024 when SC opens against LSU, a team that also had a suspect D in 2023 and like SC has made significant coaching changes on defense. If QB Miller Moss can come close to his Holiday performance, SC has the chance to go 10-2.

B1G Media Day: Not a Great Start for UCLA
I like this balanced take from CBS Sports. UCLA coach DeShaun Foster is more than an awkward moment at Big Ten Media Days - CBSSports.com WWW.CBSSPORTS.COM DeShaun Foster was nervous before his first carry in 1998 and he was nervous again Wednesday. But after an uncomfortable press conference, the UCLA head coach showed who he really is Foster has UCLA's 2025 recruiting inside the top 40. UCLA's recruiting disappeared under Chip. Jim Mora recruited successfully at UCLA and I believe Foster will, with even half-decent booster support, do the same.
