2 hours ago, GatOrlando said: I've debated the importance of polls in my head. If the polls were eliminated I wonder how we would get a top 25 or more importantly top 12 when it comes time to seed the playoffs. For example how would we pick the number three or four teams from the multi bid leagues?
Doesn't the CFP committee do their own rankings? IMO the pre CFB rankings are just for clicks. They give some credence for media like ESPN, Yahoo, Fox etc to have some fodder to throw out to those interested. In the end the only poll that counts is the one that comes out on Tuesday Nov 4th every other one that comes out from the CFP after that one.

I have Dish TV and have not missed a game. If needed I'll do a 7 day free trial for one game if it's streamed. Yeah it sucks but it is what it is these days.

I think I am probably alone in my distaste of someone deciding what I should wear to a game. It seems to be a thing for all sports.
I know that "I" need to choose what I wear, as the combination I choose will more than likely determine the outcome of the game.
( It has nothing to do with my distaste of being told what to do)
I actually think it's pretty cool when all the fans are wearing the same color. Like Penn St's white out. Problem with Oregon is they have so many color combinations that it's hard to get the whole stadium on board. I guess that's the drawback to being trendsetters.

Not that they won't need to play THEIR game every game but this season looks to be less stressful than last years. No tOSU or MI. The Ducks looked tired at the end of the season. This years byes are also situated better.
11-1 would be fine with me.

It's never going to be fair as long as a human is involved.
CFB needs to go the route of the NFL with divisions and conferences. Win games and you're in. None of the who beat who by how much phooey. Probably won't see it in my life time but it would eliminate all the sour grapes.

I would like to see better production in the 3rd qtr. How many times did the Ducks come out with the ball starting the 3rd qtr and flop? Not sure if it's from the lack of adjustments or lack of player energy. Personnel changes from 2023 to 2024?
Oregon ranked 95th in 3rd qtr scoring with scoring average of 4.5 pts in 2024.
In 2023 they averaged 8.9 pts in the 3rd qtr. That would've placed them at 13th tied with CO and Syracuse.
At home they scored 5.2 and away they scored 3.9.
Is it Stein not making adjustments or Lanning not getting the players fired up or the opposing DC making adjustments? Such a big deal about the middle 8 but it fizzled more times than not.

My gut thinks this will be a close game like last time. But just for fun the Ducks find their mojo midway in the 3rd qtr and pull out a 38-24 win.

I won't feel it a success unless the Ducks make the natty and win or lose. Getting knocked out by tOSU will only fan the flames of bias and further reinforce the idea that the Ducks can't win the big one.
Going 13-0 then losing the 1st game in the CFP will feel like the season is unfinished.

My concern is the long wait period before the Ducks play on Jan 1st. As is with most long wait periods for bowl games it seems that teams are a little rusty or slow to gel in the 1st qtr and into the 2nd. OSU just had a great game and has a much shorter wait time to play again.
This game makes me really nervous for that reason. A sluggish start won't cut it.
