I might argue that WRs are a push, or slight edge OSU because of Smith. I would add: LBs slight OSU TEs Oregon And maybe as important: Special Teams. Oregon

Particularly in their double wides..

Clemson pulling an SMU. ACC having a very bad day. Maybe Miami will save a little face in the Pop Tart Bowl.

My first impression of this game: Texas looks like a bunch of orange vanilla creamsicles and Clemson upside down ones

Putting up the Christmas tree while watching SMU v PSU, so I'm not really being distracted much. PSU and Abdul Carter have done to SMU what they could only dream about doing to Oregon in the B1G CG. The Mustang qb has made more bad decisions than Custer at Little Bighorn, the O-line has more holes than a Swiss cheese sandwich and I've yet to see anything resembling presnap motion or misdirection. This game almost, but not quite makes me think Bama and DeBoer should have been in the CFP. Almost.

Tosu 24-13 Tennessee not used to that kind of cold. Iamaleava gets picked off at least once by Downs, et al and Bucknut O-line does just enough to keep the offense alive. Day lives to fight another day but Day will yield to Knight and DL on New Years Day in LA.

And that's about all they are gonna win.

We'll, there ya go. He's now a Duck.

Indiana being outplayed on both sides. This could be an ugly blowout. Someone will expose ND but I'd be salivating over the remote chance that OBD would face these guys in the NC game

Doesn't DL have one too? I think it's a life journey thing.

ON3 now predicting Alexander to OBD. The optics of his departure from U$C looked bad at the time but the subsequent Trojenz fire sale to the portal perhaps puts it in perspective. If DL and Tosh feel that he can fit the culture, then that is the way it is.

Wish this young man the best regardless of the circumstances. Tampa Bay to Eugene is a long haul for a 17-18 year old particularly if there are family issues. This may also be the harbinger of someone planning to stay an additional year (E Stewart) or a portal addition at the WR position such as U$C transfers Duce Robinson and Z. Branch. Remember too that 5☆ Gatlin Bair joins the team in 2026 once his LDS mission is complete. The 2025 recruiting rankings take a hit, but OBD would still be in the top 7 or 8 and should remain loaded at the WR position.

There is a narrative that the broken promises involve unfulfilled NIL payments. It could explain the loss of high profile and productive players. If that is the case the details will ultimately leak out. Riley's willingness to throw his players under the T-Bird can't help. Regardless, Oregon will be in a great position to pick up a prized position or two.

Oregon Ducks Transfer Portal: Emar’rion Winston announces transfer DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM Oregon Ducks EDGE Emar’rion Winston announced that he intends to enter the transfer... Sorry to see this as he had played well on the two deep. There is just so much talent at edge with more coming in that you can't blame the young man for wanting to go somewhere that he can be a starter. Best of luck to him

Yep, time to swill back some SEC cougar juice
