I went to GameDay, and a stripper audition broke out. 👍👌😁 I'm reasonably certain that Dan did something today that Saint Nick and Kirby, He So Smart, will never try to duplicate. 🤪 Hose the Hoosiers! Put Out Them Cigs!

Yep, 38-19 final score. UW 5-1 + in the PO hunt with the only loss coming against Ohio State. OBD's next week's opponent, Rutgers, is 3-3. Rutgers has lost several leads in the 2nd half this season. Next up for UW is a road game at Michigan. Then, Illinois in Seattle.

Will UW complete another comeback and win? I don't want Rutgers to be all that fired up in Week 8. UW 17- Rutgers 10, with about 10 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. Georgia Tech defeated Wake last week in OT. Tech plays VA Tech tomorrow. No. 24 USF is up 56-36 at North Texas with 7 minutes left in the 4th. A win helps Miami's SOS. The G6 PO participant could be decided on 10/25 when USF visits No. 23 Memphis. GO DUCKS! Put Out Them Cigs!

Yahoo with an update on B1G entering into a private capital agreement with California?🤔 https://sports.yahoo.com/college-football/article/big-ten-nearing-decision-on-24-billion-deal-with-california-pension-investment-fund-in-landmark-move-within-college-athletics-170051033.html To my understanding, the current media deal led by Fox expires in 2029-30 and not 2037. Prior articles had the investor receiving a 5% profit-sharing deal through 2026-27, and not 10% of the equity in the to be formed Big Ten Enterprises. This is a different deal with a state-owned entity. I'm not sure this deal makes sense. Especially for Oregon with an Athletic Department in the Black. However, both the Michigan and Ohio State Athletic Departments are bleeding Red ink. Could OBD veto the deal? California Public Employee Pension Fund (PERS) is functionally insolvent. I can't tell whether the Department referred to in the article is the same department as PERS.

38-20 OBD 2 3 330 Everyone you met when going to Saint Ives is coming from Saint Ives, ergo, the number of wives = 0. I like the flashback. The riddle became popular in England circa 1730, although its author is unknown, and dates back to around 1650 BC. The riddle is found in the Rhind Math Papyrus. There is nothing new under the Sun. Thank you, A(ll Knowing) I(ntelligence). We now return you to your regularly scheduled program. 😁

Is there anyone born and raised in Florida who meets the above definition? 😁 And your team plays in a swamp and has a large reptile for a mascot. 🤢 OK. I know that your team was Spurriered on to a title, and then, the Gators did not wallow in the Meyer. Beat A&M!

Michael West, please rant on! 🤪You are one of the best commenters in the West! With a rant or three thrown in.

Thanks, GP. No doubt that HS recruiting is still a B1G part of the process. But, in today's CFB world, I think seasoned players from the portal matter equally, if not more. It's all about roster management today, not just coaching up quality star-rated recruits; recruits who don't play early are likely gone. ONE CFB program has not lost a starter to the portal, OBD. OBD's true Frosh and 2nd-year players are stepping up, which is great to witness. However, without an outstanding portal class, including an RB who couldn't step up, would OBD replacing 18 starters be ranked in the top 5? Since the inception of the BCS, no team without a Blue Chip Roster has won a title. This was true when a team had to win one game to be a champ, and far more so when you have to win three or four games in a row against top competition. No matter how they are rounded up, you do not win at a championship level without the Jameses and Josephs. Blue Blood recognition will come only post-Natty for OBD and not before Oregon secures two or more titles. Fair? No. However, even without a title, Oregon's name is dropped whenever the subject involves a discussion of CFB's top programs. No surprise, in the above post, Charles beat me to it! 😍

Friend ND, I hope Saturday finds your Dawgs victorious on The Plains and scoring the W in the South's longest rivalry. The SEC scored OOC this season and IMO, deserves to have nine teams in the top 25. Yet, I'm kind of hoping that 3-loss SEC teams are PO benched again, and CFB goes to an AQ PO with PO play-in games contested on the last week of the regular season: Top 2 in the PO, No. 6 at 3, and No. 5 at No. 4. The in-conference SOS in 16, 17, and 18 team conferences will never come close to equal.

B1G HQ is supposedly reviewing the schedules for every sport to determine whether east-west travel and vice versa can be lessened. But with four in the Pacific time zone and 14 in the Central and Eastern time zones, how much can be done to alleviate travel? The first conference loss? Before 2029, take a look at 2027. 🤬 Get through this gauntlet without a loss, and OBD best be the PO No. 1 seed. Road games vs. Baylor, Maryland, Michigan, Nebraska, UCLA, and UW. Home vs. E. WA., Iowa, Purdue, Penn State, and Ohio State, and a team to replace Utah State, which had best be played at home to give OBD 7 home games and not in Corvallis. With this schedule, an AQ PO with PO play-in games makes sense. Especially, if 3-loss teams with more difficult schedules are left out in 2026 for 2-loss teams with easier schedule strength. Ditto for seeding. Will SOS matter this season? We'd better not see a G5 team ranked and seeded 9th because of a terrific RB and a close road loss vs. a P4 team. Boise's SOS in 2025 was in the mid-80s. If 3-loss SEC teams are uniformly left out of the PO this season, and with nine conference games coming to the SEC next season, and to the ACC with less PO voting power than the SEC and B1G, we could see an AQ PO format as early as 2027. Even with 9 conference games, in today's mega-conferences, you will never have balanced schedules.

The B1G schedules run from 2024 through 2028. On paper, 2025 is OBD's most favorable schedule. On3 acknowledges the Ducks have a relatively easy flight path for the remainder of the 2025 season. But you never know when a team with a new Skipper will show up and play like a Neu team. 😁 Rutgers is in Seattle Friday night, playing UW. An extra day to prepare for OBD's visit a week from Saturday. Trap? For those who believe Miami is the real deal this season, Miami's path to the playoffs is far from daunting, and Miami, again on paper, has the chance to host its first playoff game and the championship game in its 'home' stadium. Georgia Tech also has a relatively easy path to the ACC champ game, where GT could Wreck Miami's title plans. Please! Nine SEC teams in the Top 25. How many finish 10-2 or better, and will any 3-loss teams be in the field in 2025-26? Go Ducks! Put Out That Cig!

A fish stinks from the head. Billy - Tommy = Nudge, Nada, Nyet, Nulla, and a Nothing and Neutered North Carolina. 🤮 This has been a PR disaster from Day One. UNC football was marginal in a bad conference, and now it is a nationwide punchline. I'm not surprised that guys who played under DeBoer and won many close games at UW are not happy. Would any knowledgeable person who looked at Belichick's record without Tommy hand him $10 million a year, along with a nepotism nesting place? I had doubts in the preseason about Clemson, Penn State, and Texas. In fairness, I also had doubts about how Dante Moore and a close to entirely new offense and defense would perform for Danno. I had no doubt, even without the giddy girlfriend side show, that Billy and his boys, and Bill's boy, GM Lombardi, would crash and burn in Chapel Hill. Compare this disaster to what an unknown Cignetti has brought to Indiana. You're right, there is no comparison to a grump who is still a grump compared to a little-known guy who arrived with a chip on his shoulder, winning experience in college football, leadership skills, and a caseload of charisma. Point the finger nowhere but at the UNC trustees, AD, and the leader of the 33rd NFL team. Trying to lay this stuff off on transfers from UW is male bovine excrement. Thanks, Steven A, I feel much better now. 🤪
