All about the Ohio State Buckeyes: Few schools in the country boast a richer football tradition than Ohio State, a powerhouse by every metric in the sport and a constant national contender. Defined by their own success on the field and an historic rivalry with fellow perennial contender Michigan, the Buckeyes are a globally recognized sports brand. A winning tradition extends to other sports, too, but fans of the Oregon Ducks certainly have that Oct. 12 football game at Autzen Stadium circled on their calendars several times over. Especially now that former Oregon coach Chip Kelly will be Ohio State’s offensive coordinator. As the Ducks prepare for a move to the Big Ten Conference in 2024, The Oregonian/OregonLive is taking a look at all of their newest conference rivals.

Mark Wasikowski set to start fourth season with Oregon baseball Oregon baseball head coach Mark Wasikowski is about to kick off his fourth season with the Ducks. On Feb. 16, Oregon will head to Arlington, Texas to start its season at the Shriners Children’s College Showdown.

Three players on Wasikowski’s roster were named to the preseason All-Pac-12 Team; Grayson Grinsell, Logan Mercado, and Jacob Walsh were each named to the team to highlight Oregon’s stellar roster.

Is Oregon the Team to Beat for Another Blue-Chip Defensive Back? Max Torres spotlights 2025 Pittsburg (Calif.) safety Jadyn Hudson. Hudson is ranked inside the top-100 players nationally and is an Adidas All-American selection ahead of his senior season. Oregon has numerous ties in this recruitment and recently picked up a 247Sports crystal ball prediction to land Hudson. They're positioned well in this recruitment and could very well be the team to beat.

Quite frankly if I was Ohio St. I would keep Day. His win/loss record is very good, especially what he's accomplished through recruiting/transfer and obtaining Chip Kelly as the OC. Seems to me he's correcting issues going into the 2024 season. I am not convinced Chip is washed up (I guess will find out this coming season). He has a perfect ideal situation at Ohio St. Day lost to an experience Michigan team who went undefeated, won the national championship with 18 players invited to the combine.

When an industry evolves, it typically does so slowly. Along the way, there are signs that something is on the horizon—morsels of moments that ultimately add up over time. These moments can be small when individualized. But in totality, they can change everything. In business, these moments start small and grow big. Eventually they become a trend, and eventually that trend becomes the norm. Suddenly, the business that is college football finds itself in a series of trends, although no trend is more curious than the sudden abundance of coaches leaving for other opportunities. Given the impact of the transfer portal and the way NIL has brought free agency to the sport in a matter of years, that statement might sound strange. But it's the coaches operating in this universe that know it best, and many of these coaches are choosing to leave when given an opportunity to do so. Currently, the sport is operating without guidance. Rules are iffy (at best). Rosters are being built with checkbooks and booster backing, first and foremost. The landscape is unknown, and the work required to build winners is greater than it has ever been. The new requirements demanded of coaches at the college level are both extreme and still relatively unknown. Those who have found work at other levels are telling us, without actually saying it out loud, that the current climate is reaching an unsustainable place.

All about the Northwestern Wildcats Comedians, actors and journalists of renown have all made their way through the Northwestern University campus, located just north of the bustling metropolis of Chicago. The only private university in the Big Ten before USC joins up later this year, NU is one of the conference’s founding members. While the Wildcats are still picking up the pieces in a football program plagued by scandal, and outside of lacrosse don’t boast many team national titles, the school’s investment in sports is arriving at a new peak. And you’re bound to hear about many of the developments, given the number of sports writers and broadcasters who hail from the school. As the Oregon Ducks prepare for a move to the Big Ten in 2024, The Oregonian/OregonLive is taking a look at all of their newest conference rivals. While Ducks fans might be deeply familiar with fellow Pac-12 departees Washington, USC and UCLA, they have 14 new teams to get to know this year. Next up is Northwestern.

The Oregon Ducks have been off to a hot start on the 2025 recruiting trail, sitting with one of the top classes in the nation and coming off of a couple-weekend stretch where they hosted some of the most coveted players in the nation. One of the players that visited — 4-star EDGE Nasir Wyatt — is really starting to trend Oregon’s way. The blue-chip defender from Mater Dei down in California has been projected to land with the Ducks, with a few 247Sports Crystal Ball predictions coming in earlier this month from Steve Wiltfong, Brandon Huffman, and Greg Biggins. On Wednesday, 247Sports analyst Tom Loy also put in a prediction for Wyatt, the No. 2 EDGE and No. 27 player in the 2025 class, to choose Oregon. Loy also placed another Crystal Ball prediction on Wednesday, saying that 4-star safety Jadyn Hudson is likely to commit to the Oregon Ducks as well. Hudson is rated as the No. 8 safety and No. 96 overall player in the class. At the moment, Oregon has the No. 11 class in the 2025 cycle, but if they could add both of these players, Dan Lanning would be well on his way to securing another top-5 ranked class this year. Oregon Recruiting: Ducks pick up pair of big-time predictions DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM The Oregon Ducks picked up a pair of blue-chip crystal ball predictions from Nasir Wyatt and Jadyn Hudson this week.

He did make a mistake as far as Oregon's 2023 win record. Was 12 win season unless he's not counting the bowl game. It’s a new era of college football, and the transfer portal, NIL and conference realignment have forced the nation’s premier coaches to adapt. Coach rankings for the 2024 season have the usual suspects at the top, but who will reign supreme five seasons from now? National recruiting analyst Cooper Petagna weighed in recently on the Football Recruiting Podcast. Several factors went into these rankings. Petagna looked at the coaches with the most noticeable momentum coming out of the current season and whether they’re poised to build off it thanks to strong results on the recruiting trail. The program leaders best adapted to NIL and the transfer portal found their way into the rankings. Age was also a big factor and kept guys like Brian Kelly, Willie Fritz and Mike Gundy from making the cut. Petagna saw value in several other coaches who didn’t make his top five, including Hugh Freeze (Auburn) and Lane Kiffin (Ole Miss), who barely missed the cut. He also shouted out Kalen DeBoer (Alabama), Marcus Freeman (Notre Dame) and Eli Drinkwitz (Missouri).

This is behind a paywall, but I could see this portion of it. The 247Sports Crystal Ball is a tool recruiting analysts use to show exactly where a recruit might end up. On Wednesday, a new prediction went in regarding a top target potentially landing with the Oregon Ducks. As it stands today, I believe Oregon is the team to beat for Pittsburg (Calif.) high school four-star safety Jadyn Hudson. My Crystal Ball is on the Ducks. Over the weekend, I was in Las Vegas for “The Next Ones” event presented by Nike Football. I was able to sit down and talk with Hudson for a few minutes. My biggest takeaway was that head coach Dan Lanning, his stability, the fact that he chose to stay in Eugene instead of leaving for Alabama, is the driving factor here. The 6-2, 175-pounder loves the Ducks and is fired up about a potential future there, but knowing that Lanning is not likely to leave anytime soon is really hitting home for Hudson. Ohio State and Tennessee are the two heavy-hitters also in play, but it’s tough to see the Ducks missing on the West Coast standout. 247Sports Crystal Ball pick: West Coast Safety to Oregon 247SPORTS.COM The 247Sports Crystal Ball is a tool recruiting analysts use to show exactly where a recruit might end up.
