USC should simply be the first three letters on every list of "Over Hyped" schools every season until they make it to a conference championship with more than 5 wins! (see 2020 season).

Analyst Names 5 'Overrated' College Football Teams In Preseason Top 25 Polls - AthlonSports.com | Expert Predictions, Picks, and Previews ATHLONSPORTS.COM On Monday, the Associated Press released its official Top 25 Poll. It's the last to do so of the major publications, meaning we now have a good idea of what Fox Sports and now Athlon Sports have Oregon as over rated in 2022. Looks like a combination of coaching turnover, uncertainty at QB, as well as a few other positions has given some of these news outlets a second thought about our outlook this season. I believe if we are on this list we are definitely last. We have reloaded at the necessary positions for this season; with the exception being QB (unproven product). What remains to be seen is what this coaching staff does now that the keys have been handed to them. Do we swoop down in an F-22? Or do we keep heading down Hwy 99 in the old ranch truck that Mari-0 repurposed the Ferrari into?

I am calling it now that Jackson Powers-Johnson will be making a move back to the offensive line if not by the end of this season, then definitely by next as an insurance policy. He's like a DJ Johnson; put him on the field and let him hit people.

If we are staying at 12 schools I would take SDSU and UNLV. Keeping the SoCal footprint is vital moving forward and SDSU has the feel of a Pac 12 school. Adding UNLV feels like getting in on the ground floor of an emerging market. TV and location wise, its great for getting the brand to the viewers. It helps that it is the current home of the Pac 12 Championship Game. And an influx of Power 5 money would help recruitment/retention immensely (so would firing their football coach)! After all, this is the place where advertising and flashy marketing was essentially invented. I love the idea of BYU joining. If we went to 14 teams or more I would want to see Boise State in there somewhere unless they genuinely don't want to move up. It would add the state of Idaho and I could see SDSU and Boise State getting a pretty substantial rivalry going.

My wife bought her and her sister 40 YD line front row tickets to that game. $240 dollars later, she refused to interact with anything pink for a full year...

They've worn pink twice before. I'm hoping that's a rough design and they color match the name tape, shoulders and numbers. Otherwise there's just way too much going on with that uniform.

Are Pink Numbers Returning to Oregon Football Unis? | Uni Watch UNI-WATCH.COM Oregon's Breast Cancer support extends to the uniforms… Did we just get a look at the 2022 uniform combos? This picture from Instagram has since been taken down so its a possibility. Not much difference from last season's. What are your thoughts?

If we are looking at it strictly from a geographic standpoint, as David Shaw says; then the west coast is still in a weakened position compared to the Mid-west, Northeast, and Southeast. This will leave us no better off than the current conference structure from a TV media rights perspective either. The Midwest and Northeast (traditional BIG 10) would command the most leverage with respect to Fox Sports rights. The Southeast (do they even need to change their name?) wouldn't have to do a single thing different from what they are currently doing. This would still leave the West Coast to fight for scraps as far as media deals and TV timeslots. The only thing we would potentially benefit from here is an expanded playoff format. This could at least create a situation where, if Oregon becomes the perennial west coast powerhouse, the west coast would have a seat at the table in most seasons. It just seems like a power 4 conference "reset" based on geography leaves us in a similar predicament to what we are currently facing now; with regards to the respect the left side of the Rocky Mountains gets with football.

10-2 Losses will be Georgia and (I know its a home game but...) Utah. Hopefully I am proven wrong....On both accounts!

I'm giving Butterfield a slight edge going into camp. He has shown more growth in comprehending the offense and taking care of the ball than Thompson has as of late. That's not to say Thompson hasn't made strides either. But if we are basing where they are now versus their star rating when they started their first season, it is clear Butterfield has developed more. In my opinion, he has essentially caught up to where Thompson was when he saw his first game action in 2021. If there is no clear separation between Thompson and Butterfield at the end of camp then Butterfield needs to be given the #2 spot. This means he has fully caught up to and maintained the same skill level as Thompson. Whoever gets #3 is gone next year. No one can afford to wait with Dante Moore coming on board. If Butterfield leaves I see him as a great fit at Fresno State. Would easily pick-up and thrive in the offensive scheme that they've used with Jake Haener. If Thompson leaves I see him going Big 12. Maybe an Iowa State or Baylor type school. Dave Aranda would love him. But so would we!

I'm going with Nix at QB1. But what about #2? Has Thompson done enough to earn the spot or is Butterfield going to surprise us?

Oregon Recruiting: Ducks become contenders to land RB Richard Young DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM 5-star RB Richard Young is predicted to go to Alabama, but some recent events might favor the Ducks instead.

It's only fair to pair the #2QB in the nation with the #2RB for 2023...

Dante Moore, Oregon Ducks QB pledge, rises to nation's No. 2 overall prospect, behind only Arch Manning - Scorebook Live NEWS.SCOREBOOKLIVE.COM 247Sports updated its class of 2023 national rankings, and newest Oregon Ducks quarterback commit Dante Moore made a significant jump. Rated the nation's No. 8 What a stacked QB room. If Dilly can deliver the sky is no longer the limit; the MOON is!

Since it's become clear that Miami's donors will throw any and all money at recruits in order to secure their commitment (Jaden Rashada, Jayden Wayne), there is essentially no such thing as an accurate prediction any longer. These last minute NIL deals to flip recruits are becoming more and more common. Here's to hoping Dante Moore has already made his decision!

It feels too soon to call this a win but it sure feels like it. I keep knocking on random pieces of wood anytime I have conversations in the office about him (just in case). An unofficial visit (on his own dime) AFTER he has already had his official one is what I keep coming back to. And specifically to coincide with the huge recruiting weekend. This really feels like he wanted to hang with these guys as though he wants them to be his future teammates. By all accounts the weekend went extremely well. It sure would be nice for him to wrap this up and at least place a verbal on Oregon. It would make ME feel better and hopefully help land some of these big fish.

Should be a good redshirt year for him watching Tyler Van Dyke get vastly under-used and coached down. My guess is Cristobal roles with him again the next season and Rashada sees more of the same; he may get some mop up duty preseason but nothing more than handoffs and checkdowns. By the start of year 3 Josh Gattis is hired off as a HC, Rashada has seen enough and is off to the transfer portal; seeking anywhere that will let him throw.

If Bo does what Bo should, I think he's setting himself up for easily his best year statistically. Working with Dilly is going to slow the game down for him even more. He is going up against Pac-12 defenses in Pac-12 stadiums. If he isn't at or above DTR level stats he should consider his season a disappointment.

Cam Ward and Michael Penix Jr. ranked higher than likely starter Bo Nix? Do you agree? Pac-12 Football: Where ESPN ranks the best and worst QBs in Pac-12 DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM ESPN ranked the best and worst QB situations in the nation going into 2022. How high is USC?

I think the Ducks have the "opportunity" to provide Georgia with the most dynamic offense they'll have seen since the National Championship. I say opportunity because they have every piece in place to do exactly that (great playmakers with great potential). What remains to be seen is how effectively it is coached and schemed. If Oregon's offense can get above 70 plays in the game that means Georgia's defense will be tired and more susceptible to mistakes. I'm gonna take a leap and say the offense is really clicking by the second half and starts an exciting comeback that brings us to within a touchdown. I think Georgia comes up with the late interception on Nix after he tries to do a little too much. Georgia -7

Seems like Kirby Smart at least has respect for the threat Bo Nix's athleticism and gun-slinger mentality poses. Oregon Football: Kirby Smart calls Bo Nix ‘a tremendous player’ DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM “We had a lot of draft picks on defense last year and we struggled to get him on the ground. He’s a tremendous player.”

I live in Bend too. If QB play mimicked the amount of times I see people stop when they should go and go when they should stop on a daily basis then we would definitely have a Tyler Shough-esq season. This is why I have always loved the Chip Kelly version of practice where the QB takes roughly 15 billion snaps a day, makes mistakes but watches tape and learns from them quickly. Then by the time gameday rolls around it is all muscle memory and flow.

I say Thibs is a NY Giant and goes at 7. Next year could be iffy. Bo Nix has two years of eligibility and his performance this year will dictate whether or not he declares in '23 or '24. Noah Sewell could definitely wind up a top 10 draftee next year if he has another good season; but he'll have to stand out over OLs and EDGE guys which definitely come at a premium. I'm fine with him falling to the Chargers 🙂
