People talk about how this could be the first of three meetings. It could also be a one-and-done with Indy and Penn St also undefeated, their remain schedules plus the tie breakers. (I'll let JJ delve into this later as my mush brain can't handle the "what ifs" associated with all the possibilities.) So, there definitely is more pressure on us from a national perspective.

Pound per Pound = highest average star rating. 2. Oregon is on the verge of signing the best pound-for-pound recruiting class ever. Dakorien Moore Friedman: FICTION. There have been some incredibly talented recruiting classes over the years. The best pound-for-pound recruiting class (aka the class with the highest average star rating per commitment) was USC’s 2013 class, which featured five five-stars and seven four-stars. That average star rating per commit of 4.42 is unlikely to be equaled. The next two best pound-for-pound recruiting classes are USC’s 2007 class (4.22) and USC’s 2018 class (4.21). Georgia’s 2018 class (4.21) is next on the list. That class featured eight five-stars (tied for the most ever) and 26 total signees. Oregon, with its newest addition of five-star offensive lineman Douglas Utu, currently has 15 commitments and four of them are five-star prospects. The Duck currently have an average star rating per commit of 4.13, which would be good enough for sixth-best all-time. It would be a stretch to see Oregon break into the top five, let alone jump up to No. 1. There just aren’t many five- or four-star prospects let for Oregon to pursue that could push them up this list. Reed: FICTION. I am going to go with fiction – but on a technicality highlighted below. The highest ranked class Oregon has ever signed according to Rivals was the 2021 class which was ranked as the No. 3 class in the nation. That class was highlighted by five-star signees Kingsley Suamataia and Ty Thompson. The 2025 class already has four five-star commits with a fifth commit in five-star territory. From an average star rating, the current class (4.13 average) already surpasses the 2021 (3.91 average) class in just about every way except for two: they are not ranked as high nationally thanks to just 15 total commitments and the average weight per average star rating is slightly lower. Because I expect that the 2025 class will be smaller overall, for now I am going to say that the 2021 class has a better ‘pound for pound’ average star rating, but if we look at just the top 15 recruits from each class, the 2021 class has an average star rating of 4.13 while the 2025 class has an average star rating of 4.27 so far. The 2021class had two five-stars - neither of whom made an impact for Oregon with Suamataia leaving for BYU after his freshman season and Thompson sticking it out as a backup for three seasons before moving on to Tulane. The 2025 class has a little better variety at the top and middle of the class with strengths on the offensive line with Douglas Utu, Alai Kalaniuvalu and Ziyare Addison leading the group while also getting a five-star receiver (Dakorien Moore), defensive back (Trey McNutt) and running back (Jordon Davison) with another receiver (Dallas Wilson) on the cusp of five-star status. The depth of the top 15 for each class favors 2025 what each is lacking, though, is an elite defensive tackle group – which is a difference maker for elite teams. I do think it is a fact that Oregon will wind up with its best ever average star rating in 2025. Looks like who can do the least with more trophy goes to our beloved u$c.

I wish this was a pick'em, that way I would bet on osu (refuse to give them a t or caps) and happily lose my bet. But, giving 3.5 means the Ducks will lose by 3, so I am staying away from this one. It will be interesting to see how many people pick osu in the predication contest.

Alex, I'm going with Will Howard. His play will be the deciding factor. Hopefully our D will keep him under pressure so that those WRs won't have time to complete their routes before has time to find them.
