1) What will Oregon’s record be and how far will they get in the playoffs? 9-3. They have a rough travel schedule with four games east of Iowa City and a new QB. They miss the playoffs. 2) Will there be a dominant team in college football? No. The B1G and SEC will beat up on each other. 3) What the heck will happen with Lincoln Riley and USC? I think he will keep them in the hunt this year (8-4, 9-3), so they will keep him around. 4) Will there be any changes to the playoff seedings and who deserves a first-round bye? No. It won't get a unanimous vote. 5) How will the SEC “rebound” from having only three teams in the playoff? I think they get five teams in due to the B1G and Notre Dame losing some ground. ACC or Big 12 get two teams in this year. 6) Will a team not from the SEC, B1G, or named Notre Dame make the semi-finals? Yes. Clemson. 7) Will Michigan and Alabama bounce back? Bama will make the playoffs. Not Michigan. 8) Will Dante Moore succeed at quarterback? If success is leading Oregon to the playoffs, then no. However, I think he will be far better than he was when he was a Freshman at UCLA. 9) Will the Ducks lose a coordinator? Maybe 2? No. 10) What is your gut feeling for 2025? No playoffs but new starters start to gel toward the end of the season.

He would have to go into a good situation. The Bears are looking at David Shaw for OC, but Chip would do well with Caleb as his QB. I think Atlanta would be a good fit as well. However, the Panthers, Jets and Cowboys are so dysfunctional they would sink him.

Knowles is staying.

They better respect Oregon since both teams share a national championship.

A generational college RB can do wonders for a QB. Buck Belue, Major Applewhite, Brooks Bollinger, and Maddux Madson would agree. I’m quite sure that some of our UGA brethren on this forum would agree with me when I say that as a left-handed QB, Buck Belue had possibly the sweetest hand-off release in NCAA CFB history. He won them a national championship because of it.

I still like him. This is a good interview. It puts things in perspective. And to answer his question, no, none of us felt bad for beating him the last four times the Ducks played him.

When a 12-team playoff takes almost as long to get through as a NBA or NHL tournament then the timeline needs to be condensed. Those two leagues are designed to squeeze potentially 105 games into a two-month span. The CFP sqeezed 11 games into a 44-day period if you start counting days after the conference championship games end. It's 51 days if you start counting when the regular season ends.

Well, according to the Wolfe Index which is one of the “major selectors” used by the NCAA to determine the national champion. Most, if not all “real” Duck fans won’t celebrate this and the team won't claim it, but it makes for a great counter-argument for the Fuskies bogus 1960 championship claim. They used the Helms Athletic Foundation which was never recognized as a “major selectors” and also ceased selecting champions back in 1982. https://athlonsports.com/college/oregon-ducks/oregon-ducks-national-champion-ohio-state-buckeyes-notre-dame-wolfe-ratings#comments

Winning the middle eight was the difference for OSU. Touchdowns going into and coming out of the half were huge.

I’m hoping OSU comes out and scores on the opening drive to put this thing away. That way I can get to bed at a decent hour.

Notre Dame just doesn’t have the offensive fire power to keep up with Ohio State. Great first drive, but OSU has adjusted. They’re going to need some turnovers to stay in this game.

OSU 31-13 2 4 276 yards passing

Savage is an excellent tackler and the Ducks need his experience. I don't base my opinions off of the Rose bowl because OSU is an outstanding offensive and defensive team.

Remember this. NIL stands for Name, Image and Likeness. The money earned from NIL is driven by the free market. They're not saying that the payout has to be equal. Just the opportunities and resources (marketing, brand management, etc.). If they dictate equal outcomes (i.e. money earned) then the courts will intervene as they would if Nike were forced to pay Sabrina as much as they pay Justin.

However, they get zero if they have a down year and don't make it to a bowl with a high payout. So, they're essentially betting on themselves. I will add that they do get around $50M/year from NBC.

Sure, but it was good they cut him loose early. Sometimes it’s hard to see through one’s attractiveness. Before long, you’ve made a long term commitment and they cost you a ton of money and ruin your life….er, uh…team chemistry.

Nah. His seat should be ice cold. Nine teams scored less than 3 TD’s against our starters. The Fuskie garbage time TD doesn’t count. Those that scored more than three TD’s were all playoff teams and one is going to be national champion. Sometimes a great defense is made to look bad by an offense with superior athletes. Monday’s national championship game should be a good example. Notre Dame has the best pass defense in the nation and they also generate the most points off of turnovers by a huge margin. Yet, they will likely get beat by 3 scores.

The good thing is if Oregon finishes in the top half of the conference they will probably still make the NCAA tournament.

Good call by Fuskies. this guy quit half way through his season with Texas and spent the rest of the season bad mouthing his team on social media. Word on the street is he wasn't showing up for workouts.

I remember this young man who purposely vomited on a 11-year-old girls at a Phillies game because her father told him to watch his language. As you can see from the picture, a bunch of other fans in his section gave him a little tune-up before the cops got to him and took him to jail.
