[Don't pay attention to the CFP rankings!!!!!]

When they turn the selection process into a reality TV show there has to be several plot lines.  It is all about ratings and clicks.

Don't know?

Nick is getting 750 Large from the State of Oregon every year, teeing it up at Eugene CC and it looks like he is also having fun as a commentator? 

Post football season my guess he has somewhere nice to hang out south of Eugene?

He is actually getting $281,000 per year.  Which is really good but not close to 750.  From the PERS data base:

[2 Questions]

Bobby Williams is Special Team Coordinator and coaches the tight ends.   And yes, some of the special teams have not always been special this year.  Off the top of my head the punting and place kicking have been good to very good.  Kick off coverage has not been good and we have been average at kick off and punt returns.

 

I agree that it would be nice to see the QB under center in certain circumstances----mainly short yardage situations and when Ducks are backed up against the end zone.  

Many teams don't go under center.  And I'm not sure the Ducks have ever done so once Bellotti brought in Kelly.

[How Much Colleges Are Paying Former Coaches]

Oregon paid Helfrich $8 million in a lump sum settlement.  I presume, but can’t verify, that the payment was funded by donors. 
As stated above, Oregon didn’t pay Bellotti to go away. He was a Duck out of water as AD and retired with a humongous PERS annuity. 
Bellotti may be the best football head coach ever at Oregon.

I'll give you one name:  Chris Miller.  Old timers will know.....

[WOW, No. 4 .... OK, the First Results are In and Which Do You Prefer, a Rose Bowl Bid, or College Playoff Berth?]

Easy answer.   Playoffs over any bowl game every single time.
Bowls are consolation prizes for top program.  Oregon is a top program.

I think it took some fans booing MC and staff for a change to happen. I do like JM in the booth better though.

I'll respectfully disagree.  I don't think booing had any causal effect on any changes made by Cristobal and his staff.  I think film study, practice and discussion is what caused any changes.

 

[Did Pac 12 Officials Blow a Field Goal Call in the UCLA game? Chip Kelly thinks they did.]

The camera angles did not line up with the posts------the video doesn't give a definitive view.  The officials were lined up with the posts, they had the best view.

There have been many times when I've been in the stands and thought a FG was good when it was bad or thought it was bad when it was called good.

[Moorhead Must Remain in the Coaches’ Box]

To answer the question in the article of when Cristobal was last seen with a laminated play-sheet, last Saturday in the Rose Bowl:

 

 

I don't think it means anything at all about playing calling.  It's simply the head coach with a laminated play-sheet, nothing more.

Now that's what I call conditional love....:)

[Kingsley Suamataia has entered the transfer portal]

Bummer.  My first thought was that he felt left out when he  wasn't in the mix and match rotation on Saturday.
