Nebraska Loses Raiola For The Season
Raiola's backup looked lost. At UCLA, Bye, at Penn State, and Iowa is what's left for the Cornhuskers. Michigan is a much better team in the Big House, and away from LA, SC plays like it needs an Out House. 💩 Michigan RB Justice Haynes, who transferred in from Bama and was having a terrific season, will have foot surgery this week. We'll see what happens tomorrow night, but three of Oregon's final four games could be against top 25 opponents and bowl-eligible Minnesota, with road games at Iowa and UW. 🤬 The number of conference wins by Indiana's final three big opponents: 0, Zip, Nada, Nyet, and Nudge.

Josh Pate's Epiphany About Mario Cristobal In Real Time (Must Watch)
$$$$$$ - 🤑- Six $ signs for six sick losses when favored by 20 points + 😁 Thank goodness the U's Booster Bozos Ponied Up (like SMU 😎) and took Mari-oh-oh MIA before he destroyed Oregon's brand. 🤮 -What other coach could have kept Stoned Brook in the ball game? 🤪

What You Need to Know About the IOWA HAWKEYES
I doubt the CFB PO Committee will be in lockstep with the AP Poll. Five ways in which the rankings could differ. NOTE: The PO Committee will only have 12 members this season. Member and ASU graduate, Randall McDaniel, is on a leave of absence and has not been replaced. I agree that A&M could be ranked 1st, and Indiana could be ranked ahead of Ohio State. I also think that Iowa, No. 26 in the AP, could and IMO, should be ranked. Ditto AP No. 24 Washington. If a G6 team is ranked above or instead of these two, the Committee is kowtowing to the politics of the PO format. OBD could be ranked lower than No. 6. 7-1 is impressive, but the opposition, sans Indiana, has not been good. For PO seeding purposes, it would help if Iowa, USC, and UW were all ranked.

2025 Football Poll Rankings (2)
Ducks Wire predicts what the PO Committee's 1st PO field will be. No. 6 OBD hosts No. 11 UVA. I'm not certain we'll see Ohio State 1st, Indiana 2nd, and OBD 6th. If the Committee metrics are close to ESPN's SOS and SOR rankings, we could see A&M first and a 1-loss Alabama in the top 3. Recall, SEC commissioner Greg Sankey decided the conference would go to nine games based on his belief that the SEC's SOS and SOR superiority, per Greg, will be recognized by the Committee. If half of the SEC is in the Committee's Top 25, DUCK! https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/football/2025/11/03/oregon-football-college-football-playoff-rankings-prediction-week-11/87056768007/?utm_source=smg-duckswire-strada&utm_me

2025 BIG Info, Predictions, Etc. (11)
Matt Ruhle and Nebraska could not win a game against a ranked opponent, and it looks like QB Dylan Riola has a broken fibula. Behind its backup QB on Saturday, the Cornhuskers' O floundered vs. USC. https://sports.yahoo.com/college-football/breaking-news/article/nebraska-qb-dylan-raiola-reportedly-out-for-the-year-with-broken-fibula-194837844.html

Smoo Beats The U!
Don't blame me! My putrid pick in OT was the coaches, and not my fault. Kirby Smart had to be happy to see this guy in his rearview mirror. Gunner Stockton doesn't have the same talent, but he has a heart millions of times bigger than this dork. However, Carson is a great fit with Mari-oh-oh and a Canes team that has never won an ACC title. This whiny BS won't hurt his draft stock, right? 🤪 If you're looking for a leader, don't Becken Carson.

2025 Football Poll Rankings (2)
WEEK 10 AP Poll - 6-2 UW is in. 6-2 Iowa is No. 26. Cincy, with a loss to Nebraska and a beatdown at Utah, is No. 25? Why? No. 23, 3-Loss Tennessee still has many Volunteers voting in the AP. Miami drops to No. 18. But, losing to Miami must still be a 'Good Loss.' Or, did the No. 10 Golden Domers' 25-10 win over the 1-8 BC Eagles really impress the voters? Tuesday night, we'll see how this poll stacks up against the PO Committee's 1st ranking release. I won't be surprised if Texas A&M is No. 1.

What You Need to Know About the IOWA HAWKEYES
The Ducks have the hardest B1G row left to hoe. Oregon's next four B1G opponents are a combined 24-9: at Iowa, Minnesota, USC, and at UW. USC - Northwestern, Iowa, at Oregon, UCLA Michigan - Bye, at NW, at Maryland, Ohio State Ohio State - at Purdue, UCLA, Rutgers, and at Michigan Indiana - at Penn State, Wisconsin, Bye, and at Purdue Iowa - Oregon, at USC, Michigan State, and at Nebraska UW - at Wisconsin, Purdue, at UCLA, and Oregon Oregon has road games left at Iowa and UW. Tuesday night, both teams could and should be in the PO committee's top 25. Fortunately, Indiana has a Bye before facing the Boilermakers on the road. 😁 Go Ducks!

Iowa Game Starts at 12:30 PT
With the game on CBS, this is an interesting location. Fox will broadcast Iowa State at TCU at 3:30 p.m. Eastern. Fox will broadcast Northwestern at USC on Friday, 11/7, at 6 PM Pacific. The broadcast of this game is not USC at Northwestern on 11/8 at 9 AM Pacific, as shown in error on a number of sites. I do not see a B1G game being broadcast this Saturday at 9 AM Pacific.

What You Need to Know About the IOWA HAWKEYES
Thank you, Don, that was a Dandy! Iowa Drinking Game to play if you want to stay sober: Chug one down when an announcer refers to Kirk Ferentz as having the most B1G L's in the history of the conference. (The number is 89, which OBD hopefully turns into 90 on Saturday.) If you want to over-serve yourself: Any mention of the Children's Hospital, including waving at the Hospital, Woody Hayes, Amos Alonzo Stagg, the Broyles Award, Phil Parker and his D-Fence, Grono's accomplishments in FCS football, TEs in the NFL, and the biggest number of games won by a B1G coach. 😁 60 degrees in November! YES! Rain to slow down OBD's athletes. In 2025, I already watched this movie and gave it 0% on Rotten Tomatoes. Thanks again, Don. This will not be an easy out. 2-loss Iowa has plenty to play for. Kick Kirk Over the Ferentz, all the way to Ames!

Smoo Beats The U!
Give Mari-oh-oh a break. He made my Bye, and now I get to wallow in it 🤪, while thinking of the Canes trip to Pitt on November 29th! Dear Miami Boosters, please keep throwing Millions of Dollars at Mario, and kids who have never suited up for a college game, and a guy who led the SEC in INTs in 2024. Don't give up on him. In 2025, your boy Beck is now 2nd in the ACC behind some Sap, with 9-Picks, and he's still in the race to be the ACC's most Prolific Picker. 🤑 About that Car, Son. 🤬

Hats off to the Beavs! WAZZU? 3-point road loss to No. 7 Ole Miss. A 2-point road loss to No. 15 UVA. And a 7-10 road loss in Corvallis? There is Insanity, and then there is CFB on and off the field in 2025. 🤪 Have Mercy!
