    And seven picks later Dorlus goes to Altanta at 109. So that's four. Just Bucky, Tysheem and EvanW to go to get to seven. I'm anticipating this round will be pretty Duck heavy. 

    I’m a Falcons fan and I’m excited that we got Dorlus.  I don’t really understand the Penix jr pick at #8 after making the Cousins deal. 🤷🏻  I like Penix, I just seems odd for Atlanta to make this pick.  We are in win NOW mode, and there were tons of players that likely could have made a heavy impact right away.

    Of all the top tier QBs in this draft, I think Bo is the biggest wildcard.  I can see him being a starter for a lot of years, and I can also see him being a fringe player that never does much.  Both are at play.  It really depends on where he lands.  
     

    I am still of the opinion that Joey could have had an HOA career but he ended up at the clown show that was Detroit.  

    Yeah, the start of Joey’s NFL career is similar to David Carr’s.  I think they were drafted the same year and both put into all but impossible situations for a young QB.  I honestly think both might have been very good under different circumstances

    I was rooting hard for Oakland.  Potential Cinderellas dropped like flies today.  We'll have to see if anyone wants to wear the glass slipper tomorrow.

    Maybe so, I’m excited to watch James Madison.  Those guys play tough.  I think they play Duke so it will be hard but you never know.

    This reminded me of how much I have kept begging for an Oregon vs. Alabama game, but everyone keeps saying it won't happen...

     

    Greg Byrne (Alabama's AD) recently mentioned in a video that he would like to keep and add good quality opponents to UA's future schedules, so I hope he agrees with Rob Mullens for either a home and home series or a kickoff game, preferably the former.

    I wish Oregon and UGA would’ve had a home and home instead of one game in Atlanta.  It still makes me chuckle remembering how the media considered that a neutral site game.

    Not at all.  I don’t consider them major rivals but I’ve no love for them.  Although, I might start liking them even less ever since @Jon Joseph pointed out to me their schedule over the next two years.

    Apologies, I was mistaken.  @Jon Joseph was pointing out the Ole Miss and Missouri schedules over the next two years.

    I'm just guessing those Mississippi bulldogs aren't very liked in your neck of the woods.

    I always end up rooting for the Zags as a lot of Montana kids end up playing for them and they're only 3 hours away.

    They have been such a strong program since 1999, I wouldn’t mind seeing them finally win it all after being so close. Of course not if they have to beat Oregon! 😂

    I always forget how The round of 32 is anticlimactic compared to the round of 64, having four games on at one time just makes it more fun. 

     

    Gonzaga ended up making it not much of a game in the end, let's see if Michigan State can make it exciting against UNC.

    Yeah, looked like Kansas’s lack of depth showed its ugly head.  They were dragging in the second half.

  8. Oh well, I was hoping for a better finish but Grand Canyon took care of business in the final minutes.  Good for them!
     

    Between GCU and James Madison there are two very dangerous 12 seeds advancing.  JMU looked very good earlier tonight.  They play a vicious brand of basketball.  Both of these teams play very good defense.

    Good points, on the other hand, Ole Miss plays 3 stiffs and Wake OOC. Mizzou with the easiest SOS in the SEC plays 3 stiffs and Boston College OOC. 

     

    Georgia goes 10-2 and gets in ahead of 10-2 Oregon, hypothetically, I'm OK with that. But 10-2 Mizzou getting in ahead of Oregon, I'm ticked off. 

     

    Is the Committee going to pay attention to SOS or continue to view a win in the SEC as a far better win than anywhere else?

     

    I'm a bit surprised that a Georgia fan is OK with Mizzou playing 4 ranked teams in the next two seasons. Ditto Bama. And for OK and UF to play the same brutal schedules back-to-back is not equitable.

    Good point, you’re right the Missouri and Ole Miss schedules look favorable to say the least.  Both have a good shot at going 10-2 and that would most certainly land them in the Playoff.  
     

    I don’t love the way the scheduling is going but I don’t at this point mind it staying at 8 conference games.  I guess the SEC is doing it bc they feel they can easily get away with it and bc it might provide some leverage in a future negotiation.  Basically because they think they can, and sadly they are probably right.  
     

    In truth though, I wasn’t paying attention to the Missouri and Mississippi schedules over the next two years.  You make a good point, it does seem to give them an advantage.  And that does stink especially for a powerhouse football program like Oregon that is going to likely play a much tougher schedule.  Oregon had no choice but join the B1G and it absolutely makes things tougher.  I think the move will pay off for Oregon though.  An already national brand is just going to get stronger.  I’m very excited about where Oregon football is headed!!!

    'Something is rotten in the State of Dixie!'

    I see where you guys are coming from but what the SEC is doing isn’t so dumb.  I’m ok with it for now.  My Dawgs will play 8 SEC games and 4 non conf games.  GA plays GA Tech every year and obviously they have been down.  But they also try to play one very strong opponent from another conf every year.  Like Oregon or Clemson.  Last year would have been Texas.  
     

    So we play 2 cupcake out of conf games.  That’s pretty smart to me.  And it helps some smaller universities financially.  
     

    For the time being SOS isn’t going to be an issue, but staying healthy is always an issue.  Getting reserves playing time is also important.

    Agreed.  Best, complete, defensive game this season.  Play this way each game during the tourney and you will be a hard out.

     

    Now I'm regretting my Tennessee over Oregon in the Elite Eight.  SEC doesn't seem that, indomitable, after watching what OBD just did to the team that placed second.

     

    Great way to open up the Tourney.  On to Creighton!

     

    Go Ducks Tourney Basketball!

    Great win for the Ducks!!!  I’m pulling for the Ducks every time.  Make no mistake though, the SEC brings some good teams.  TN, KY, and Auburn are very good.
