Beware of HUey BRIS. 😧

Oh well, Divorce Happens! 😁 Before last Saturday's game vs. Lee Corso and Indiana, UWho had outgained all seven of its opponents and was the No. 1 team in the USA in Tackling Efficency. Pretty remakable for a team with all new coaches and two starters back. Pac-12 Redux Saturday when SUC visits UWho on Saturday. Which underachiever gets the W and is one game away from bowling? Wreck The Wolverines!

Ranking Oregon’s four remaining opponents by upset potential FANSIDED.COM Does anyone have the firepower to knock off the top-ranked Ducks in the regular season? I'm sticking with the Wolverines. WASTE THE WOLVERINES!

The article does come from the SUC Wire but author Matt Zemeck has been a round a long time, is a savvy guy and has given Riley no quarter in 2024. College football officiating crisis needs to be dealt with urgently TROJANSWIRE.USATODAY.COM College football officiating, in the Big Ten and elsewhere, has been really bad this year. The product is getting worse. We need urgent solutions to this problem. The article gives creedance to a number of OBDers calling for CFB Ref Reformation.

It's game No. 8 in an eight-game straight gauntlet. And Wisconsin is idle the week before playing the Ducks. But the Wisconsin O after lighting up three B1G bottom feeders was far from robust vs Penn State. At Wisconsin, Fickell is 0-5 against teams ranked when they played the Badgers. 0-3 in 2024 vs Bama, at USC, and vs Penn State. The Penn State D traveled, the Oregon D if not fatigued will continue to travel. The Badgers best win in 2024 is against Rutgers. The Badgers RB, Walker, who played well in the last three games before Penn State was shut down by the PSU D, held to fewer than 60 yards rushing. PSU's backup QB played well in relief of Drew Allar. The Wisconsin QB has marginal starting talent and Illinois has better receiving threats than Wisconsin. Oregon will again have a speed advantage in this game; a huge advantage at WR. I'm more concerned about a Michigan team that found a winning QB formula vs Michigan State on Saturday and will want to win back-to-back games in Ann Arbor to try and salvage its season with an upset of No. 1 and a Win Columbus. Michigan will also have a chance to show off at Indiana. Top to bottom Michigan has a much better roster than Wisconsin. Three guys on D could go in the 1st round of the draft and TE Loveland is a baller.

Cignetti is 8-0 at the 'Losingist School' in all of college football. Indiana is at the top of CFB in games lost. 1st and only Rose Bowl was in 1967, last time the Hoosiers were 8-0. Indy lost to USC. 😒 Indy's preseason Over/ Under was 5.5. In the conference preseason poll, Indiana came in 17 out of 18 B1G teams. As Cignetti noted, the last two teams he head coached picked to finish next to last won championships. This Indiana team has not been behind in 8 games. It embarrassed a Nebraska team that hung with Ohio State. The opponents may not be all that but Indy is destroying the opposition. It's OK. Saint Nick won titles, not COY awards. Danno, go forth and do the same.

MARYLAND KICKOFF ANNOUNCED - 4 PM - BTN Kickoff time announced between No. 1 Oregon and Maryland 247SPORTS.COM On Monday morning, the official kickoff time for No. 1 Oregon and Maryland's first-ever matchup was announced.

MIAMI is Missouri in waiting. 0 ranked opponents played to date with Duke, at Georgia Tech, Wake Forest, and at Syracuse remaining. 😒 4 ACC teams have zero conference losses, Miami, Clemson, Pitt, and SMU. Miami misses all thre of the other unbeatens. A Refs-Assisted win at home against Va Tech and down 3 TDs+ at Cal (CAL!) Tyler Shough had better stats than Ward when Miami visited Louisville. And 'these guys' could be a Playoff No. 2 seed? A loss in the ACC Champ game and a 12-1 MIA should be PO MIA.

And Justin has the Chargers 4-3 and in the PO hunt. 😍

AnotherOD and Happy, great posts. THIS is what worries Tony Petitti and Greg Sankey. We'll find out beginning on 11/5 when the Committee releases its 1st rankings whether the concerns are justied. If the Committee simply uses Ws and Ls the Committee will be called out. How do you seperate a bunch of 10-2 P4 teams without using SOS, Strength of Record, etc. The CBB Committee discloses the metrics it uses, I believe the CFB Committee will be making a mistake if it doesn't do the same. "Trust Us" is not going to bounce. In fairness, Indiana has a bad SOS as does Ohio State but for the OREGON GAME 😍 that it lost. The Playoff has tripled in size but I believe the Committee's rankings problems will go well beyond last season's FSU bruhaha and the flak will fly when seeding comes out that doesn't match the final ranking on 12/8/24.

The Pac-7 plus Gonzo still need a football playing buddy and have no TV deal to date. Kennesaw State, 0-5 before beating 5-0 Liberty is available. But does anyone know where the school is located? However, Utah State vs Fresno is bound to bring in big $, right? 😁

I may have to take up smoking? It's Cig's to lose. OTHERS - BYU - Kalani Sitake, TX A+M - Mike Elko, Iowa State - Matt Campball, Vandy - Clark Lea. Army - Jeff Monken if Army doesn't s(t)ink like Navy against Notre Dame. SMH. Notre Dame 83-13-1 vs Navy. Moves up 4 spots because it housed a G5 opponent? FOUR G5 opponents for The Irish in 2024 - No. 8 😒ND is now 1-2 vs the G5. Danno the Manno! Mutilate Michigan!

A take on the game from Maize + Brew. What we learned in Michigan’s rivalry win over Michigan State WWW.MAIZENBREW.COM It might not have national ramifications, but Michigan needed to get a win on Saturday night. Here are some thoughts for November following the rivalry win over Michigan State:

Sizing up 4-way Big Ten race WWW.SPORTINGNEWS.COM Four teams – No. 1 Oregon (8-0), No. 3 Penn State (8-0), No. 4 Ohio State (7-1) and No. 13 Indiana (8-0) – are in a scramble for the Big Ten championship game and College Football Playoff.

Three Straight A's For OBD from CBS. 😍 College football grades: Texas A&M, Oregon earn an 'A', Ohio State gets 'D' in Week 9 report card - CBSSports.com WWW.CBSSPORTS.COM A look at how the national championship contenders fared in Week 9

Help needed to defeat the Huskers? 27 straight losses to ranked teams. 35 straight losses in games decided by one score. 2-22 Matt Ruhle's record vs ranked college teams. (This does not include his pitiful Panthers NFL record.) Saturday's game featured terrible late game clock management by Ruhle. When it comes to being Husked, Nebraska needs no help. Oh, and no bowl of corn chowder or otherwise since 2016. The longest stretch among Power teams.

Mr. Mock Continues to have Puddles Flying High and Coming Up Roses. ROSE BOWL - 1 OREGON vs. 9. Indiana at 8. Texas FIESTA BOWL - 4. K State vs. 12. Boise State at 5. Ohio State PEACH BOWL - 2. Miami 😒vs. 10. Clemson at 7. Notre Dame SUGAR BOWL - 3. Georgia vs. 11. Tennessee at 6. Penn State Notre Dame. One third of the Domer's games are vs. the G5 and ND lost to one, NO. ILL. ND is Idle on Champ Game weekend. Notre Dame does have to get by FSU at home, after taking this Saturday off. The games vs. Georgia Tech and Navy and the game vs Army are all played at neutral sites, not true road games. ND caught A+M at the right time. SCAM. However, how many viewers would a Ducks vs Domers Rose Bowl game draw. 😍 Have to love the ACC. Clemson, Pitt, and SMU are undefeated in conference. Miami misses all three teams in the regular season. Pitt plays at SMU and plays Clemson in Pittsburgh. The Canes miss all three in the regular season. SCAM. The Field: 4 B1G, 3 SEC (where's A+M?); 2 ACC; 1 B12; 1 Independent; and 1 Mountain West, G5. Could Boise be seeded higher than the B12 champion? OBD has Mock's best odds of making the Playoff - 98%. Boise is 10 - 54%. The B12 team with the best odds is 13. K State - 47%. Bama is 12 - 50%. A+M is 16 - 32%. 20. LSU is 20. 13%. CU is Bowl Eligible. Will Prime follow Hunter and Son out-of-town? MASH MICHIGAN!

Thanks, Jordan. Very nice wrap up of an OBD beat down. Michigan fought hard last night, overcame its woeful O and defeated Rival No. 2 Michigan State. Saturday is not That Team Down South but it is a Super Bowl like game for the Wolverines; a chance to redeem vs OBD. We're Still No. 1 and I cop to caring. The Big House will be rockin'. Two back up QBs had B1G games yeaterday. Penn State's Beau Pribula brought PSU back on the road in front of a raucous crowd in Mad City to set up next Saturday's Big Noon game vs Ohio State in Happy Valley. Indiana's Tayven Jackson did a fine job of leading Indiana to victory over UWho, the Hoosiers 8th win coming on Lee Corso Day in Bloomington. second time in its history Indy has won eight in a row. This is the second time since 1884 that the 'Losingist Team' in CFB has won eight in a row. 😁 Reluctantly, I give credit where due to Jedd Fisch. Before Saturday, UWho had outgained every opponent it had played but with atrocious Red Zone results. Before Saturday, UWho was ranked as the No. 1 tackling team in the country. Darn good effort when considering the Huskies have an almost entirely new coaching staff and two returning starters. The last regular season game for OBD will not be a lay up. Two of the B1GGEST conference games of the year will be contested next Saturday in the Midwest. James Franklin had to be the most relieved B1G coach to see the conference drop divisions but I imagine he'd rather have drawn Michigan this season and not Ohio State. Was Brutus looking ahead? Heck of bounce back by Nebraska after last week's blow out in Bloomington. There was D in Columbus but where did the O go? OBD opened at -16; O/U 48.5. When the B1G 2024 schedule was released did any of us Ducks Fanatics think Puddles would fly into Ann Arbor as a two TD + favorite? GO DUCKS! WASTE THE WOLVERINES!

NO!

It seemed a bit strange to have "SEC announcers" doing the game. I thought they did a great job, far better than the NBC boys. Dary Danielson went to Purdue. Brad Nessler is also a Midwest guy, a graduate on Mankato State U in Minnesota. I'd love to hear Danielson riff on this Ducks team vs the SEC teams he covered and slobbered over.
