I don’t have much faith in “valuations” without actual data on earnings. High “valuation” estimates strikes an emotional trigger and generates clicks. But I would treat them like Monopoly money, complete fiction. Let’s stop treating NIL valuations like actual earnings WWW.SPORTSBUSINESSJOURNAL.COM When I began as an NIL educator more than three years ago, I never thought name, image, likeness would serve as a case study in how our beliefs can be influenced by repetition and source...

I like it! I had an extra weekend to hang out with friends, have some good food, a a couple of stout beers. As for the format, we found out the right teams got in and on no earth should a 3 loss team from any conference get in. Any conference has about 2-3 really good teams in their conferences. The two issues I have with the CFP so far is the seeding (I think that subject has already been brought up) and I would rather have had next top team in the B12 in the quarter finals that Tennessee or Indiana. Going forward I would like to see a 3 team cap on the amount of teams a conference can submit to the playoff

I happen to think that Randy the Plumber has an accurate take on how other teams view going against Oregon.

This is the best I have seen the ducks all season, both on offense and defense.

If Miami wins today, they have done what Georgia has failed to do. Win games. I don’t know which team is better than the other. However, Miami is more deserving to be in the CFB with a better seeding because they won their games and are at the top of their conference.

Nice!

It’s not Alabama

I agree with the article and fail to see where my comment and your article diverges. We have a solid offense that underperforms in certain situations.

I’m such a negative Nelly. We have a solid offense, it’s good, however the metrics and the eye test are not lying to us. Our defense and passing attack are winning the games. We can especially see the underperformance on 4th downs, 2 point conversions, and red zone conversions. This offense certainly doesn’t match Coach Lanning’s personality.

I may have spent a little time trolling THE Ohio States by calling them a bunch of soft-batched cookies for all of the whining I have seen on Twitter.

Spitting on a player is vulgar and unacceptable. However, the punishment should NOT be anymore harsh than a player intentionally spearing someone in the head. Holden was ejected from a game, accepted responsibility, apologized, and had off field discipline. Way more punishment than a spear that could break someone’s neck.

I think people are overreacting to this for three reasons: 1.Any change to the rules will likely be exploited more than this. 2. How often is burning 4 seconds more valuable than limiting yardage? 3. It is a risky play This is certainly not any worse than committing a PI to prevent a touchdown or hurrying a play to prevent a replay

Hell yeah! Great Game!

I think that a lot of doom and gloom about OBD is overblown. Our defense is playing lights out. However, our offense often looks like it struggles to go down the field. It’s as if we have great players and a scheme that works against them. Secondly, this is the second year in a row the ducks were not prepared to play from day one.

This might be a little harsh but my expectations went from questions about how are we going to beat Ohio state? Is Dillon Gabriel going to win the Heisman? What second stringers are we going to see play on cupcakes? to How does Oregon plan to beat the beavers when our offense play calling and online is awful Is it the Oregon standard to fail to be ready to play day 1? At what game is Gabriel going to have a career ending injury because of Stein’s play calling and Terry’s Oline? How on earth did Lanning fail to realize that the offense is playing atrociously and not correct it before the game? with the talent and resources put into the football team there is no excuse for the offense to play flat against Idaho and Boise at home. With these players, this schedule, and our opponents, we should be excited about playing in the national title game not worried about why the coach’s can’t move the ball on average teams.
