There are so many issues, I am not even sure where to start; Unbalanced schedules, subjective SOS rankings, different number of conference games, etc. I still can't understand why we don't have a NET ranking like hoops. If you lose to Northern Illinois (Q4) that should have a significant impact on your chances. Also, a team like Texas that has only one conference win against a team with a winning record (Vandy) should be reflected in the rankings. Schedule should matter.

Seems like every year Oregon has some terrible Quad 4 loss in November or early December that impacts the bubble. Glad they escaped this one with a win.

This didn’t age well. Rough night for Evans

The fact that ND is going to get in with their schedule is a crime. Throw in the fact that they have not won a major bowl game since the mid 90s, they should automatically be out for losing to Northern Illinois. I would be okay with a 3 loss SEC getting in ahead of ND. ND is going to get rolled, just like every year.

Evans looks fantastic so far this year. He is going to be a difference maker . Glad we were able to hang on to him.

I think Cook is supposed to be back tonight, correct?

If Oregon wins next week vs Wisconsin, does that mean they have clinched a spot in the CCC? If Oregon loses one of the next two games, I think they are still in: 1) Head to head tiebreaker vs. tOSU 2) Tiebreaker rule 3 with Penn State. Both would have 1 loss, but Oregon would have beat the higher ranked tOSU. 3) The result of tOSU / Indiana wouldn’t matter, it would just determine who Oregon would play. Is this correct?

Great post. He doesn’t any play to strengths or weaknesses. He just wants to run everyone over.

Don’t worry. tOSU will fix this for you on November 23rd.

^^^ This right here. Why would anyone pay $10M for some HS kid when that will get you a Top 10 proven QB in the portal??

On a positive note, Whitt was awesome tonight. Good to see him continuing to get back to form.

How much have things changed with Lanning? Oregon played terrible tonight and still won by three TDs. I’ll take it. With Mario, tonight is a loss.

Every single year he loses to unranked teams while having arguably the best roster in his conference. IIRC, he lost to 6 unranked teams in 3 years at Oregon. They will probably still make the playoffs, but I don’t see them getting too far with his coaching. Side note - Lanning is now 23-0 vs unranked teams.

Rough start. Hope they get going here soon.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha

Just go for it. Dont give the ball back to Ward.

Why do I feel like the final is going to be 29-28?

Terrible. Need to bring pressure on that 4th down. Can’t just let Ward pick you apart.

Ugh. That hurt. You have to make that throw and catch.

Death, taxes, and Mario losing to an unranked team. Happens every single year.

Miller Moss right now.

Miami is so undisciplined. Just wow.

That’s soft. At least finish the season, then hit the portal. You already burned a season. Not sure I would touch him if I was a coach. His mom took to twitter too, which is always a good look.

lol. Wow! That is savage.

Great article. On a side note, Oregon is now 10-0 vs the BIG since 2016.
