Jett Washington commits to Oregon: Five-star safety, nephew of Kobe Bryant, tops Ducks' 2026 recruiting class - CBSSports.com WWW.CBSSPORTS.COM Washington is the No. 18-ranked prospect in the 2026 college football recruiting class Is CBS finally figuring out that they're a B1G partner? 🧐

Bama Hammer Uses the FPI Strength of Record Stats to Support the SEC's Playing an 8 Game Gauntlet Like No Other!" Big Ten and SEC misperceptions block progress to an expanded CFB Playoff format BAMAHAMMER.COM Negotiations stalled this week on a new CFB Playoff format for 2026 and beyond. The debate goes back years. The words now being used to describe it are stalemat Shocking! 😴

The 5-11 Model is Best for the ACC and B12. Thank goodness CFB has experts like Nicole Auerbach to help us out. 😴 However, Hats Off to the Big 12 for joining the B1G in not supporting the 5-11 format unless the SEC plays 9 conference games. (The ACC and the Pac-8? Who Cares?) 😁 National writer says SEC interest in 5+11 CFP model best for ACC CANESWARNING.COM In an article updating the stalled talks between the Big 10 and SEC regarding college football playoff expansion, Nicole Auerbach of NBC Sports says the 5+11 mo Greg Sankey and the SEC using the ESPN FPI rankings to support its superior strength of schedule isn't biased. After all, 'Baghdad Bob,' currently writing Op-Ed pieces for the National Enquirer, believes that It Just Means More !, and that Spanky, er, Sankey, is Spot On! 🤮

Worst Case, Sans Injuries - 10-2 - and a return to the Playoffs. Best Case - 13-0 - Playoff No. 1 seed, play the winner of No. 9 at No. 8 in the Rose Bowl. The winner of this 1st round game will not be the committee's 6th-ranked team. 🤬 (And No. 9 seed had better not be the G6 representative.) Two opponents in the regular season with Blue Chip Rosters - Penn State and USC. No Michigan and no Ohio State on the schedule. From 2024 through 2028, 2025, on paper, is OBD's easiest schedule. 2027 sees OBD at Michigan, at Baylor, and at home versus Ohio State and Penn State. YIKES! A ton of roster turnover, only 5 starters return. But this is a 'make hay while the sun shines' schedule. BOB THEM CATS!

Thank you, friend 30, for honing in on today's most important college football issue, a possible revision to the playoff format that means hundreds of millions of dollars. Tony Petitti cannot allow the B1G to be sucker punched by the duplicitous Greg Sankey.

CFB Format change held up because of a beef between the B1G and the SEC, Naturally? What's holding up CFP expansion? SEC and Big Ten are at a potential impasse on these key issues SPORTS.YAHOO.COM Keeping the playoff at its current 12-team format is a grim reality for some, but it’s a possibility, perhaps even a probability as negotiations creep closer to the Dec. 1 deadline. The PO staying at 12 is better for the B1G than a 16-team field with an 11-5 format. Did the author of this article not get the memo that the Advisory Board member SEC was on board with automatic qualifiers before sucker-punching the B1G? The SEC using ESPN's FPI data to justify staying at 8 conference games is laughable for anyone with the slightest clue. The 2025 FPI preseason ranking has 13 SEC teams in its top 25. If need be, Commissioner Petitti, use a B1G veto and stay at 12 teams.

One of these things is not like the others: Honest Abe, George 'I Cannot Tell a Lie' Washington, Greg Sankey. College Football Playoff format talks go back to drawing board as SEC gains momentum to keep 8-game schedule - CBSSports.com WWW.CBSSPORTS.COM Newly proposed metrics could work in the SEC's favor as it looks to avoid a nine-game slate Will the B1G's Tony Petitti pull a Larry Scott and let Sankey and the SEC get away with this crud? I'd rather see the B1G exercise its 'veto power' and stay with a 12-team PO.

With stats from 5 starts at 'terrible O-line UCLA' and OBD mop-up duty, Dante should have received an Incomplete grade from PFF. PFF not sold on Dante Moore’s star potential for Oregon Ducks in 2025 DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM Pro Football Focus released rankings for all Power Four quarterbacks and Oregon’s Dante Moore was grouped near the bottom. Just more fuel for the Incentive Fire. 🥵

Matayo Makes USA Today's Top 50.

And he should have been a First-Team ALL B1G Edge last season.

Thank you, David, for a terrific, balanced look at today's world of recruiting. As Ohio State evidenced last season, it's also important to have money on hand to keep quality players on board for one more season. NIL is influencing decisions on whether to leave early for the NFL. Meanwhile, the Spendthrift Portal King did not take 'sure roster thing' Mississippi to the playoffs—Ditto for Norvell at FSU, whose incoming portal class was lauded at the start of the season. And then there are the spend like there's no tomorrow MIA Hurricanes. 😁Cam could not do what NIL-trailblazer $cam did at Auburn. (SIGH) Thanks again. Let's see where things stand after signing days for recruits and the portal.

Big Hitter, The Lama, and The Butler. 😊

A Nits's flimsy excuse for a bogus 2025 OOC schedule and a take on the B1G's biggest OOC games. Ranking the Big Ten's top 10 nonconference games in 2025 NITTANYLIONSWIRE.USATODAY.COM Ranking the top 10 Big Ten nonconference games of the 2025 season. The Cincinnati-Nebraska game is being played in Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, not in Lincoln, Nebraska. The Ducks-Cowboys game made the list, which speaks volumes about the B1G's weak OOC slates. Utah at UCLA deserves more B1G love. UCLA at UNLV could have been on the list. In addition to SC, Purdue plays at Notre Dame in 2025. I would have had Michigan at Oklahoma as the second-ranked game on this list. The Northwestern at Tulane opener and the BC at Michigan State game could go either way.

Bret Bielma has coached in the B1G and the SEC. Here are Bielema's thoughts on the SEC, in particular, the SEC staying at 8 games. Bret Bielema puts the SEC on blast over College Football Playoff expansion SATURDAYBLITZ.COM The talk of the entire offseason in College Football this year has been over the format of the College Football Playoff. After just one season in the expanded 1 It's a close call, but I think Bret is a better source than Don Diego. 🤪

It's all good. It passes the 'No Mari(o) smell test!' 🦨

Because they are women? My comment did not in any manner infer that women who produce the same revenues as men should receive less revenue. Please point out my specific statement(s) that support your belief that my argument discriminates against women? There is 20.5 million dollars to be revenue-shared. Is it not basic economics that the people providing the vast majority of the revenue, football and men's basketball, should receive a greater share of the revenue? If they do not continue to produce the same revenue, men's and women's tennis and many other sports will disappear, and the Athletic department will be in the red and not the black Your idea of 'fairness' and mine differ. I don't believe those who produce less money deserve a share equal to those who produce more. I don't believe a woman tennis player struggling on the circuit deserves the same money as Coco Gauff. I know for a fact the struggling player will not appear on a Wheaties box as does Coco. I also do not think women on the pro circuit deserve the same prize money as the men's tour, which brings in far more dollars. This is not an argument founded in 'equality,' but rather, founded on economics. A person's sex should not ipso facto equate to receiving the same money as another person who produces more money. I understand and support LSU women's gymnast Livvy Dunne making millions of dollars more in NIL income than Michigan men's champion gymnast Fred Richard. I see no argument that would justify Fred making the same money as Livvy simply because he's a man. Regardless of sex, people who produce less revenue do not deserve the same return as those who produce more revenue. Thank you for the reply.

He definitely won't be eating from a Playoff Bowl.

I think Don Diego has caught the Sankey 'It Just Means More' flu? Propaganda over Facts? I'm shocked! Vanderbilt Commodores football star Diego Pavia lashes out at strange target in spirited rant WWW.SPORTINGNEWS.COM Vanderbilt Commodores football star Diego Pavia took shots at the Big Ten conference in a strange rant. I wonder how low Vandy dropped its admission standards for this guy? 😁 As far as I can tell, Don Diego 🤮 has never played against a team from the B1G. Here's a sampling of B1G vs SEC from the year 2024-25. B1G 4th place Ohio State - 2 - 0 / B1G 7th place USC 2 - 0 / B1G 6th place Michigan 1-0 9-3 South Carolina, "screwed out of a PO spot", lost to B1G 5th place 9-3 Illinois. Don, take 2 B1G pills and call me in the morning. 😜

An interesting take on returning production numbers for Power 4 teams. College football returning production for 2025 season: List of starters coming back for every Power Four team - CBSSports.com WWW.CBSSPORTS.COM While splash transfer additions eat up offseason headlines, continuity is still paramount in college football The list of returning players includes only those players who made six starts in 2024. Using Tru Media stats, the last 8 CFB champions returned at least 11 players who started at least 6 games the previous season. Of the 10 teams with FanDuel's best odds to win the 2025-26 title, Alabama, Clemson, Notre Dame, and Penn State return 11 or more. OBD, Ohio State, Ole Miss, and Texas return fewer than 11. So, it's time for OBD to reverse the trend.
