This Wisconsin game has had me the most nervous of any game on the schedule. But, the struggles against Maryland actually make me feel better about this game. I feel OBD will come out extremely focused this week, come out strong, and take the crowd out of it quickly. Coach Lanning will have them ready to battle and defeat the Badgers. Thumbs down, no mercy.

Yes, this is how I see it. He will be comfiting to Prime... not Colorado.

Yes, I received it. Annie could not have stated it any better. Mo money, mo money, mo money.

Things in Corvallis are so bad their practice facility is listed on Airbnb.com.

Ducks 48-7 2 TO 6 Sacks 341 Passing

I have to agree with this. But, I would want the school colors to be priority.

David, Thank you for another thought provoking article. I understand where you are coming from and have often wondered the same thing. One thing I have always liked about the Heisman is it often is not a clear cut winner. Typically there are 2 or 3 guys who are arguably worthy of winning it. It creates great banter between fan bases, it builds anticipation, and even after the award is given there are still arguing points. I worry if you wait until the end of the season. It will basically be given to the MVP of the championship game. To me that just doesn't feel the same. It feels to easy and kind of boring. Just my simple mind... not wanting everything about college football to change. Change isn't always good.

This is why I stay off other sites. Talk about useless banter. I feel dumber for reading it.

Link only works for those with "x"/twitter.

Charles, isn't this throwing shade? Ha!

I've only visited west coast stadiums. Best (other than Autzen): Husky Stadium. Hate the team and fan base, But, props to a great stadium/setting. Worst: The Rose Bowl. Its iconic. But, it really sucks in pretty much every way.

Those are cute uniforms!

He passes the eye test for sure. Give him another year.

TFITZ81 stole my score... So, I'll go with: 28-0 Ducks 2 TO 2 Sack 296 Passing.

Sadiq is so fun to watch. Reminds me of the Georgia's TE that destroyed us in Dan Lanning's first game as HC.

Oops.... wrong choice!

Thanks David. Always love to read your thought provoking articles. My opinion: Yes, the B1G is easier to navigate. Especially given the new playoff format. The old Pac12 was far more competitive top to bottom and most teams (except Stanford) had the ability to put up quick points. This made for many exciting games, with lots of points on the board. Pac12 football was much more fun to watch. Good teams had to keep their foot on the pedal well into the 4th quarter in order to feel good about the lead they had. The 1st halves of this seasons conference games (for the Ducks) have been fun. But, the 2nd half... SO BORING (except tOSU). DL's plan makes perfect sense. Get a lead, protect it for a quarter, then get the young guys some experience. This is the smart way to navigate this conference with this playoff model. But, I find I only want to watch two hours of each game. Navigating such a top heavy conference is far easier. But, I feel there are several teams that will step it up in the coming years and make this conference more competitive, and hopefully more exciting, in the years to come. Autzen has definitely opened some eyes. These big stadiums will see the need for some new energy. Maybe, just maybe, Oregon will make the B1G fun.

"Ohio Stadium felt more like a morgue than a fun fan experience Saturday against Nebraska. Why can't the Shoe be more like Oregon's Autzen Stadium?" Wow! Sounds like OBD not only shook up their team. But, could our fanbase have actually killed theirs?https://olumns/2024/10/30/ohio-state-football-games-should-provide-electric-energy-like-oregon/75892017007/?taid=672234f38adeac0001d38c01&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter

I want the best team to win dominantly. I really do not care who it is. Then I want the Ducks to destroy whoever that winner is in the championship game. There needs to be ZERO question as to who the best team in the B1G is.

Well he was completely defenseless.

There were times DG stood in the pocket 5-6 seconds without even shuffling his feet and I guarantee our running backs love those gaping lanes created for them. No doubt his OL has vastly improved each game. He is doing an amazing job! Thanks coach!

Ducks 45-6 2 TO 6 Sacks 278 passing 229 rushing

I want Deion to lose. I want Lincoln to lose. I want Kalen to lose. I want Mario to lose. I want Kirby to win and I really want our Ducks to win. The rest I really don't care.

100% Agree!

One of the great things about the expanded playoff is you don't have to be great the entire season. You can afford a loss or two and still make the playoff. As long as you are peaking at the end of the year you'll have a chance. I feel next years team will have that chance. You don't have to have an undefeated season to be national champs. You just have to win the last game.
