And we all whined about our low seeding 😑 Maybe the RPI is smarter than we thought. A lot of ranked or seeded teams going down though.

That's like crap 12 officials back in New York or wherever these people are how can they review that for 7 minutes and get it wrong he was clearly blocking and that was clearly not malicious

Mike White still can't win the big one. What do we need to do to make T&F, indoor and out...and XC perennial national champions? I still can't believe we don't have a World Class indoor facility, capable of hosting world's. We did it with the outdoor WC, certainly the hotel and rental house capacity is there in EUG, outdoors requires 30k seating, indoors just 5k. Mr. Knight???

This is not going well

#1 A&M lost!

Is he even close to ready? Would he even get drafted? Seems like a no-brainer

My nephew was a nuclear reactor tech on the Nimitz 5-7 years ago

Williams will be comfortable in college with 6-6, 7-5 seasons, 8-4 if the Trojans really get it together

Is it that he could be a stalwart at the Lanning 4-2-5 Mint defense STAR position? Isn't that, a big time edge rusher, and an athletic elite ILB the 3 keys to this defense to work really well?

But Air Force made the list 😂

Osu wins 2-0 7 turnovers (by each team) 17 sacks (by each team) Osu passing yards 37 Hate to pick a winner in this one

Reading this thread and the RB article...I wonder if the O-line isn't really the key? I'm cautiously optimistic '25 will be a lot better. The "lighting" at RB to go with thunder is a good point, the Tulane transfer and Riggs, and the incoming freshmen RB's may have it. Taller QB Moore with Evans/Moore at WR and others might not be 2019 LSU but if Stein can grow, that element could be huge for '25. TE is a ? but the talent on D should be growing. Lanning will handle Tosh, Schedule is more favorable (don't overlook 1-AA runner up MSU!) '25 could be great!

Hughes and Riggs could be a sneaky good 1-2; Stewart, incoming WRs; O Line maybe better than we project; Moore at QB. Secondary could be sneaky good with portal and if 5* kids step up early. D Line and LB are biggest questions, and TE. Matayo is back! Several good to great recruiting classes in a row...are they coached up and ready? Young names we don't know well yet...fill those gaps? Lanning, Stein, Lupoi...do they really have the chops? I think the grass is greener than we think

Willie sorta upped recruiting, Mari a lot more...now DL and crew are at the top. Last part of the equation...can they coach them up to the Kirby/Saban level? Another year or two and we can be at that level. If they develop them. Are the X/Os adequate? Is the Stein plethora of passes that are completed behind the line of scrimmage going to get us there? Is the O-line the weak link right now? Will Dante Moore fix some of this? Talent coming in is stellar, if they grow up quick '25 could be good, '26...

Just glad Mari and neon both lost

Top 4 conference champs guaranteed a spot...but not the top 4 seeds and a bye. ASU and BSU??? Really?

Texas looks tough, maybe just Clemson is ranked appropriately worse than Indiana and SMU

Wishful thinking on my part, so much for an upset. Is notre dumb actually good or IU over rated? Just a bad match up? A bunch of ES(EC)PN picks have Oregon over ND in the final, or Oregon over GA

I don't like Notre Dumb Indiana, 24-17 3 sacks 1 take away 267 passing yards

They were automatic the won they SEC

If it's not on the table in the dentist waiting room I probably will never see it

This was only Lanning's 3rd season. Mari recruited a lot of high talent but many were not a good fit (Noah Swewell???). The traditional prep signings are high level, but takes time to develop. I think we'll see fewer portal additions this year than the last 2, and more of the traditional prep recruits being the mainstays of the roster going forward. Keep up the top 5 classes every year (DL will) and the portal will be more of a tool to plug a few holes with proven veterans, not every position group. 5* will be common in the future

The cliff makes our conference schedule easier year to year. We've had good O-lines, getting a 5* or two there would be nice, but Penei was only 4 stars...4* developed is just as good, some 5* players never pan out...Lache Seastrunk, or the DT from Hawaii who played what, 4 snaps as a Duck? Our D-line quality and depth right now is why we are #1 and have a good chance to be #1 on January 21st, the only date this season where a ranking matters. Getting at least 1 5* on D-line a year is my biggest recruiting want

Ducks 34-27 2 take aways 4 sacks 287 passing yards

At least there is green. The Oakland Raiders uni against the muttpupps were yuck
