Yellow is the most recognizable color in the spectrum. When I was a kid way back when, fire trucks were red. They are now Yellow as they should be. Blackout? If the Ohio State game kicks off at 4:30 PM Pacific, the game will finish in the dark. Please, no 7:30 Pacific KO for this game. Depending on the time of KO, if OBD decides to go Black, wear yellow helmets. All-black unis are not a QB's friend. Thanks, David. Pound the Potato Pickers!

The 'Saturday' B1G Site Has OBD Going 11-1 with the Loss at Michigan. Tradition Crystal Ball: Predicting every Oregon football game in 2024 SATURDAYTRADITION.COM Predicting every game for Oregon in the 2024 regular season. Based on the schedule, 11-1 is spot on IMO. However, I think a fired-up Oregon squad will win in the Big House. 11-1 likely means a rematch with Ohio State in the B1G champ game in Indianapolis.

It's not easier in Boise than in LA. 5* recruit Nelson will not start for Boise in the Broncos Week 2 visit to Autzen. Malachi Nelson won’t be Boise State’s opening day starting QB TROJANSWIRE.USATODAY.COM This is a big surprise at Boise State. Malachi Nelson won’t be QB1, a least at the start of the season. Boise is the G5 Playoff favorite in many preseason polls. This unexpected situation likely moves Memphis up to the G5 front-runner. Liberty's schedule did not cost the Flames in 2023 but I believe it will do so (at least I hope) in 2024. The Boise QB starter, Maddux Madsen, has played well as the backup.

These Playoff projections have infested CFB boards. I am posting this one in honor of our OBD Georgia friends. Miami and Virginia Tech? This I question. 2024 preseason 12-team College Football Playoff rankings prediction DAWNOFTHEDAWG.COM The 2024 regular season is just a few weeks away and the Georgia Bulldogs will enter it with a target on their backs. Even after missing the College Football Pl I have NO problem with the UGA Dawgs being the No. 1 seed. After a first-round bye, Georgia would play its 2nd round game in the Sugar Bowl. IMO, the field will include four B1G and SEC teams. Perhaps five SEC teams if Notre Dame is not in the field, which I hope is the case, starting with an opening loss vs. A+M. Miami? With Mari(o) at the wheel? I need to see it to believe it. If the ACC has two teams in the field, I believe the two will be two litigants, FSU and Clemson. Best of luck to our Dawgs friends in 2024.

Size? In Danno I trust. UGA. Bama and Ohio State have 3* recruits on the roster.

President Bloch (head) was one of the problems. UCLA now has a president, Julio Frenk, who was the U of Miami President before taking the UCLA job. Bloch never attended a UCLA football game or a basketball game. Frenk was a supporter of the U's athletic programs and its NIL collective. One of the reasons the SEC is dominant in football and many other sports is that the support of athletic programs comes from the top down. And it works. From 2007-2022, Alabama's enrollment increased by 51% and the endowment tripled. Out-of-state applications increased by 79%; these students pay the full out-of-state tuition. Frenk will not improve UCLA's No. 1 public university academic ranking, so why not pay more attention to athletics?

Mandel is being lit up on the Athletic's comment section for being a Paul Finebaum clone. He has it coming. His win totals would result in 5 SEC playoff teams and 2 B1G playoff teams. IF This happens, Petitti better make a B1G noise about all playoff contenders playing the same number of regular-season games.

CBS Sports Conference Rankings. I agree that the B1G is not that far behind the SEC. 2024 College Football Conference Power Rankings: SEC starts season on top, but Big Ten isn't far behind - CBSSports.com WWW.CBSSPORTS.COM Here's how the nine FBS conferences stack up ahead of the 2024 season

He only looks at the regular season. So this would be a loss to Ohio State and one other team. With the schedule Oregon has, I can see one other loss, all other things being equal, but not 3 losses. Oregon has to go out and prove it to mainstream national media and 'traditional' B1G fans. FWIW, Mandel graduated from Northwestern. Mandel is missing two critical data points in his take, OBD has the better QB and O-line. BTW, Stewies predictions are most often bogus at season's end.

SOS - Depends on the person and/or the site you refer to. All the sites I've seen, except CBS Sports, have Oregon with a more difficult schedule than Ohio State. Many have OBD with a SOS inside the top 10. Looking at 2024 opponent records in 2023: USC 106-53; Oregon 101-57; Michigan 98-59; Penn State 88-67; and Ohio State 83-71. This is using the 12-game regular season schedule. Ohio State usually plays at least one quality opponent OOC, Notre Dame in 2023, and Texas in 2025, but not this year. OOC, the Buckeyes welcome three cupcakes to Columbus. A great opportunity for Ohio State to break in a new QB, Will Howard, and Chip's O. I expect one of the two Ohio State stud RBs will be right there in the September Heisman race.😁 It's a different story in-conference even without considering the Buckeyes eight home games vs. seven for the Ducks, six games in a row without a break instead of eight, with travel to Penn State on 11/2, but three of the last four games at home, including Michigan, with the only away game being a trip to Northwestern. The game before the Michigan game is Indiana in Columbus. In November, the Ducks travel to Ann Arbor and Madison, Wisconsin. Wisconsin is idle the week before the Badgers play the Ducks. Both teams miss USC. This seaon, Ohio State plays one 'Pac-12' opponent, Oregon, on 10/12. Both teams play Michigan but tOSU plays the Wolverines at home while Oregon travels to the Big House.. Ohio State also plays at Penn State and versus Iowa in Columbus, on the Saturday before playing in Eugene. OBD misses PSU and Iowa. Considering Oregon's travel and November away games, I think Oregon has the more difficult schedule but based simply on quality comneference opponents, it's very close. The Basketball Committee discloses the metrics it uses. The Football Committee to date, even though SOS is now, with conference championships not being used as tie-breakers beginning this season, the Committee's first priority, discloses nothing. The public is left in the dark as to metric(s.) used by the Football Committee. ESPN and many other sites during the season track SOS and Strenght of Record. However, when the ESPN, AP and Coaches Polls have nine SEC teams in the top 25 it's difficult to have a "Bad Loss" in the SEC. Part of the E$ecPN scam. The PO format in place for 2024-25 and 2025-26 will put pressure on and stress on the Committee; especially, if the Committee refuses to disclose the metrics on which it will rely.

I'd wager that Dillon leads The Most Miles Covered in a Career Traveling Man Award. Honolulu to Orlando to Norman to Eugene. One good thing, in his one-year stop in Eugene he will not have to travel to Jersey. There are other 6th season 2 times QB transfers but I believe Gabe is the Traveling Man King. Gabe has put up amazing numbers and the Oregon WRs and TEs will be the best group he has thrown the ball to. This will also be the best O-line he has played behind under the tutelage of an OC who is the equal or better than Malzahn and Rhett Lashley. Drew Brees was a second-round draft choice out of Purdue and had a 'pretty good' career.
