OregonDucks

A report indicates he was detained by police. WTH is happening?

Jedd Fisch to Michigan?!

Mullens is one of the best college football ADs and has been instrumental to Oregon’s success across sports. We are fortunate to have him at Oregon, IMHO. Congratulations on the well-deserved recognition.

Top 25 college NIL deal estimates, per On3. $6.8M for Arch Manning? Someone should ask for a refund… Not one Oregon Duck on the list despite our rivals saying that Oregon hands out bags of money? (Note: I’m sure that Dante Moore and other Ducks will be on the list next year, if they come back.) Collectives should start linking these NIL deals to on field productivity / results. Thoughts? https://www.foxsports.com/stories/college-football/top-25-college-athletes-highest-nil-valuations

Congratulations to Haloti! One of the all time greats and most dominant Oregon Duck. I remember when he committed to Oregon out of high school. It was a major recruiting coup. He was rated the #1 overall defensive player in the class and he certainly lived up to that in college and the NFL.

LOL. I just saw that Penn State plays Clemson in the Pinstripe Bowl. What should that game be called (e.g., “What Coulda Been Bowl”)?

While it would have been cool to host Notre Dame, I don’t personally care about TV ratings. I want Oregon to win a national championship and having a cupcake “tune-up” is probably the best we all could have hoped for (even over the bye given the current playoff format). Even Coach Lanning indicated as much on the playoff selection show.

Ohio State might have the slightly harder round 2 game as the #2 seed. Georgia will probably play an Ole Miss team that is in turmoil following the Kiffin departure. I could see Miami really fired up and they do have talent, especially on defense. Of course, their HC is a liability but is Ryan Day that much better…

Actually there is some question and thus this thread. Did Brock Thomas earn it because the coaches knew that Novosad was transferring out or he was a bit banged up? It’s one thing to put a QB in the game when you know the other team can’t score and the game plan is to run the ball. Would Coach Lanning feel as confident with Brock against Indiana, Ohio State or Georgia’s defense? I and others are not so sure…

I really like Oregon’s seeding and potential matchups. (We got the Penn State path this year.) Texas Tech looked the weakest of the top 4 seeds and Ohio State and Georgia would have to play on the other side of the bracket in the semi-finals. We all know that Indiana is a really good football team but we’ve played them once so we have some familiarity. Hopefully the players will be motivated and the coaches learned something from the first game and will make adjustments for match #2. Going to be tough but Oregon is as good and talented as any team in college football. Just need to bring our A game and execute.

“The Ducks and Dukes will play at Autzen Stadium at 4:30 p.m. [PT] Dec. 20 on TNT and HBO Max. The winner will face Texas Tech in the Orange Bowl in Miami at 9 a.m. Jan. 1”

Not that I disagree with you but, at the end of the day (not Ryan), does it matter if you are the two or three seed? You’d have to play the winner of the 11/6 or 10/7 game. It probably depends on who those 6 and 7 seeds are and how you match up against them. I’d probably prefer to play Ole Miss given how much of a mess they are in right now. I would be shocked if the committee dropped Ohio State lower than #3.

Here’s a college football seeding projection that I like: 1. Indiana 2. Ohio State 3. Georgia 4. Texas Tech 5. Oregon 6. Ole Miss 7. Texas AnM 8. Oklahoma 9. Notre Dame 10. Miami 11. Tulane 12. James Madison Would love to be on the other side of the bracket as Ohio State and Georgia based on what I saw yesterday. Let them battle in the semi-finals. https://www.si.com/college/oregon/football/oregon-ducks-college-football-playoff-path-opponents-james-madison-texas-tech

I would personally put Notre Dame and Miami in and leave Alabama out. The shellacking in the SEC Championship Game should not be ignored. Who would you put in?
