The Beavs and the Pac-Whatever are G5. Anything else is a short-term accommodation; it's form over substance. I'd like the Ducks to open every season in Autzen against Portland State. (No whopping cough, please.) Every season the Ducks will be integrating portal players with Ducks veterans. As we have witnessed in 2024 this is not a seamless process. Mullens needs to do all can to play at least 7 home games every season. Especially in the odd years when Oregon will play five B1G road games. Oregon State would be fine so long as all the games are played in Autzen. Michigan, Ohio State, and Penn State do not go on the road to play G5 schools. Oregon plays 9 B1G games every season and will incur the travel that comes with being in a coast-to-coast conference. Extrapolating from today's AP Poll, 9 of the 11 playoff games, including 4 1st round games all hosted by SEC schools, and would be contested in Dixie. The exceptions would be the Fiesta and Rose Bowls. To win a championship in the next 2 seasons means playing 16 or 17 games and defeating 3 or 4 highly-ranked playoff teams with 2 to 3 games on the road. Why do anything to make THIS more difficult; especially, if the ACC and the SEC continue to play 8 conference games and Notre Dame plays 12 regular season games? The expanded Playoff requires Art of the Deal scheduling regardless of tradition and out-of-conference headlines. Again, using the current AP Poll, 6 SEC teams in the field would bring a far bigger slice of the playoff pie to the SEC than would 3 B1G teams to the B1G. As currently configured, you get no more money for playing Oklahoma out-of-conference than playing Tulsa. There will be plenty of eyeballs on Oregon without playing rigorous out-of-conference games.

Illinois is AP Poll ranked No. 24 and plays at No. 22 Nebraska next week. Unlike SEC vs. SEC matchups, the loser of this game will fall more than 1 or 2 spots in the next AP Poll. No. 6 Tennessee plays at No. 15 Oklahoma next Saturday so we will have a comparison.

I apologize to OBD Forum friends, but I believe the AP Poll and the Committee Poll when they are released, deserve to be highlighted, easily found, and discussed.

Post Week 3 AP Poll - 7 B1G Teams Ranked NCAA College Football Rankings: AP Top 25 Football Poll APNEWS.COM The official page for the AP Top 25 college football poll, a tradition since 1936. Keep up to date and view the latest ranking updates each week. OBD has a win over No. 27 Boise State. Teams ranked above the Ducks, Ole Miss, Mizzou, and Miami have no significant wins. Miami defeated a 1-2 Florida. Missouri finally played a P4 opponent ranked behind Boise and struggled to put the Eagles away at home. I have no beef with the ranking of Texas, Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee, all with quality P4 victories. The SEC wheat will start to be separated from the chaff when No. 6 Tennessee visits No. 15 Oklahoma on Saturday, but all the other ranked SEC teams play inferior opponents. The B1G sees No. 11 USC, (being undefeated with a victory over LSU does not move SC up) at No. 18 Michigan, and No. 24 Illinois at No. 22 Nebraska.

AMEN, Bama Hammer, and Also Get Tony Petitti On Board. Time for Greg Sankey to let the Pac-6 wanna-be Pac-12 know to forget 'Power' status BAMAHAMMER.COM Let me be clear that I have nothing against America's West Coast. It is home to some of the nation's most extraordinary landscapes. In college football's histor

David, I understand your thoughts and appreciate them but: Blame for what? Investing the capital required to be a recognized brand in the marketplace and capitalizing on this recognition. The same tools and fools who were hired to manage the Pac-12 didn't get the approval of one-sixth of the conference from OSU and WSU members. When it comes to the Pac-12's demise, there are no clean hands. These two made their beds and want to blame the Pac-10 for the lice and fleas between the sheets. Coming next will be the MW remaining teams breaking up the Big Sky conference and so it goes for programs that long ago abandoned academic interests in favor of two sports carrying the entire athletic departments. By the way, Oregon invested money not only in athletics but also in academics which is why Oregon is an AAU member attractive to the B1G and OSU and WSU are not. Blast these Sons of Beavers!

The author of this self-serving piece of fish wrap appears to be well-versed in Situational Ethics. The left-behind MW teams understand and approve of the MW now having to break up the Big Sky conference. It's all good, including the Pac-2 using purloined money earned by other schools to blow up the MW. There have been unfortunate instances of men taking advantage of women but that didn't mean the Sabine women were happy about it. Walk a mile in the shoes of Nevada, UNLV, San Jose State, and New Mexico. Of course, some of the left-behind MW schools will be added on at a discount. (A discount from What is TBD.) The Pac-6 cannot add UTSA, Texas State, Memphis, and Tulane because the poor little athletes would have to travel more than one time zone, right? THIS makes me even more ticked off about Saturday's game in Corvallis which will be the most-watched game of the Beavers season. In the minds of Committee members, out-of-conference Oregon will have played an FCS team and two G5 teams and not have a win over P4 Texas Tech. Please Ducks, come together and Blow Up and Blow Out these Sons of Beavers.
