If 1 plays 1 than you have a conference champion. If you are more focused on seeding for the CFB playoff, then go with what Duckman60 wrote. I think either way would work, but I think I prefer Duckman20's approach.

I think that makes good sense.

I like Grandpa Duck's idea and have a thought on how to possibly make it work with the current 18 members. As stated in the article - two divisions based on geography but keeping major rivalries. Play all eight other teams in your division. The 9th conference game would be set up as inter-division play based on conference rankings (may be difficult to do). 1 in West Division plays 1 in East Division. 2 in each division play each other and so forth. The higher ranking of the two teams has home field. Maybe some other version of this system would work better. This in lieu of conference championship game. My thought is this would help in final rankings for the CFB playoffs. Anyway, a slightly different version.

This is from is from the Oregon newsletter and sheds some light on what is going on. Hope I formatted this correctly. "Is there something you've always wondered about UO athletics? Email rmoseley@uoregon.edu and you could possibly see your question answered in a future edition of the newsletter. We'll also use this space to answer questions we've fielded in person or noticed cropping up among fan discussions online. Sarah, Lake Oswego: It feels like everything costs more these days. With the move to the Big Ten and all the changes, how much more expensive is it really for Oregon now? And big picture, are we in a good financial spot compared to where we were a few years ago and where college sports are headed? Rob Moseley, UO athletics: That's a good read - costs are rising across college athletics, and that's true everywhere, not just at Oregon. And while the move to the Big Ten does add some incremental expense, it's a small piece of the overall picture compared to the overall financial landscape facing college sports. With passionate fans consistently selling out Autzen Stadium, Oregon generates approximately $30 million in football ticket revenue each year. Autzen is one of the great environments in college football - but at 54,000 seats, its capacity is significantly smaller than several Big Ten peers, including Michigan, Ohio State, and Penn State, all of which seat more than 100,000 fans. For comparison, it was reported that Michigan generated $67.6 million in football ticket revenue in the 2024 season, more than double Oregon's total. It's also important to point out that Oregon Athletics is fully self-sustaining. The department receives no financial support from campus or student fees, pays the full cost of scholarships, and covers institutional expenses, including an annual 5 percent overhead campus assessment. In addition, following the House Settlement, Oregon is now sharing $20.5 million directly with student-athletes, a figure that will increase annually. Big picture, Oregon is in a solid and responsible financial position, but the environment is changing rapidly. As costs continue to rise nationally - particularly around student-athlete support and revenue sharing - maximizing revenue across tickets, media rights, sponsorships, licensing and philanthropy is essential to ensure Oregon continues to compete at the highest level of college athletics."

Indiana - Ugh! 27-20 1 TO 2 Sacks 240 Yards

Troy Dye plays for the Chargers but I don't recall seeing him in the game.

I was hoping they wouldn't take a knee at the end.🙂 My first time predicting a score. I'll either be hooked or retire with a perfect record!

Oregon 28-7 2 4 185

The north side of the stadium has poor access to restrooms, concessions, and seats. An expansion could fix that as well as add some seats. Someone smarter than me can figure out the optimal number of additional seats we could add. Kirklandduck has a good point about parking and transportation.

Ryan Day and Ohio State's unhealthy Michigan obsession lands them atop Misery Index WWW.USATODAY.COM Ohio State and Ryan Day care way too much about "The Game" 365 days a year, to the point where it strangles them when it... This quote form the article: Make no mistake, Miami has been a high-wire act all season and needed a lot of luck to squeak out games against the likes of Virginia Tech and Cal. If the Hurricanes get left out, the only complaints should be directed toward head coach Mario Cristobal, who manages to do less with more as consistently as any coach in America. Sure am glad Miami "stole" him from us.😀

Not to be argumentative, but I don't think the ball crossed the plane and it was the right call. His second attempt, however, was a TD IMHO

I still have this picture you took of me fifteen years ago, when I was on the Spring Game Chain Crew. Many thanks! Haha. I haven't seen you for a while, but I'll bet you look the same!
