College football's top RB rooms: Penn State, Notre Dame battle for top spot behind loaded backfields Several national title contenders boast impressive stables of running backs heading into 2025 3. Oregon A couple of weeks ago, on the Cover 3 Podcast, we were trying to figure out who the Group of Five Star would be now that Ashton Jeanty was gone. The first name that came to my mind was Tulane running back Makhi Hughes, only to remember Hughes had transferred to Oregon. Such is life as a G5 program these days, but their loss is Oregon's gain! Hughes rushed for 1,401 yards and 15 touchdowns last year and looked impossible to tackle at times. He'll now be the head Duck at the RB spot, but he'll be spelled by Noah Whittington (540 and 6) and Da'Jaun Riggs.

Oregon's Quarterback Recruiting: Panic or Patience?
So this cycle has not really worked out as Oregon had hoped in quarterback recruiting. I mean it really started with the very late decision by 5-Star Jaron Keawe-Sagapolutele to sign and later end up at Cal. Can’t blame him for walking into the quarterback room at Oregon and feeling like it was a much easier path to start at Cal. Oregon moved on and made a massive push for 5-Star QB Jared Curtis who ultimately ended up at Georgia. In my mind with the way Oregon’s current quarterback room sets up, Curtis would have been an ideal and seamless transition for Dan Lanning Now that comes with variables as does the rest of this article. And keep in mind, Oregon is one of the best at giving themselves options and rolling with the punches. Because of the transfer portal you have to operate this way. And because of the transfer portal I’m also nearly zero concerned with Oregon signing a prep quarterback in this cycle. While it might be preferred, it wouldn’t be an issue if the Ducks miss on every option and hit the portal. The success rate in the portal has been really good at the position. But they continue on expanding options with a lot of uncertainty about how it could play out. Oregon's Quarterback Recruiting: Panic or Patience? - On3 WWW.ON3.COM Oregon is in on several top quarterbacks in this recruiting cycle but even if they miss out on all of them it could still work out.

College Football Playoff Controversy: Time for Big Ten Commissioner to Explain his Radical Proposal
Posted by Jon Joseph: Below is my response to an article by Jon Wilner of the Wilner Hotline, I’m disagreeing with only one side of the 11-5 format being told and making the B1G the Playoff format bad guy. Every CFB metric, including the number of folks tuning in, supports the B1G and the SEC having at least 4 teams each in the PO field. Viewers equal dollars at a time when CFB desperately needs dollars. Why trust a committee that had Boise State ranked as the ninth-best team in the country? Would Boise have defeated the 3-loss Illinois, Bama, Ole Miss, and South Carolina teams? Compared to these four teams, Boise had a weak strength-of-schedule. There was no explanation from the committee as to why Boise's SOS was ignored. Since the inception of One True Champion, the BCS, no team without a Blue Chip Roster has won a title. The B12 has no Blue Chip teams. The ACC has two Blue Chip teams, Clemson and Miami, and sometimes a third in FSU. The ACC, in particular, with eight conference games, and the B12 do not have an in-conference strength of schedule close to the SEC and the B1G. The CBB committee, with its disclosed and followed metrics, would publicly deal with this. The football committee decides its rankings sub rosa. If the ACC wants 3 teams in, stop enabling Notre Dame's independence. And play 9 conference games. Many 9 conference game B1G teams plan 10 P4 games, so don't try to justify 8 conference games because Louisville plays Kentucky, or because you're propping up Notre Dame. The B1G has indicated that it would consider the 5-11 format IF the SEC plays 9 conference games. An entirely reasonable request, no? If you believe Sankey and the SEC ADs weren't aware that the SEC would have had 6 teams in a 16-team 2024-25 PO field before being so informed by SEC coaches in Destin, Florida, don't get hurt falling off the pumpkin wagon. The Advisory Committee was a phony detente move by Sankey, who will be hailed as a hero if he goes 11-5, notwithstanding staying at 8 conference games. Sports journalists can't see through Sankey's ploy? They need Petitti to speak up and tear down the SEC's newfound interest in 11-5? So much for impartial journalism. And Jon, to the best of my knowledge, the NFL does not invite UFL teams to its PO. Add Notre Dame, Clemson, ASU, CU, FSU, and perhaps a couple of others to the Power 2, and what program outside of this group could win a PO? This is not CBB, where mid-majors can make tournament noise and win four games in a row on the way to a CFB title. The ACC and the B12 readily accepted media money. The media marketplace has decided on two winners, the SEC and the B1G. Harsh, but thus goes capitalism. From the B1G's POV, take a look at the SEC cheerleader, ESPN's FPI top 25. Only 81.25% of the SEC is ranked in the top 25. If I'm Tony Petitti, here's my Exhibit A(uburn.) Thanks for the great coverage of CFB, but as a Ducks fan, I prefer Petitti to follow the advice attributed to Teddy Roosevelt: Speak softly and carry a B1G stick. I never want to see Tony doing the Sesame Street act Sankey went with in 2023-24 when lobbying for Bama to be in instead of FSU. Sankey won the argument. Tony should roll over for the 11-5 model without the SEC playing a 9th conference game? I hope you are willing, without supporting the position, to explain what you believe to be the B1G's reasons for four automatic qualifiers. KEY TAKEAWAYS * Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti remains silent on his controversial playoff proposal. * The 4-4-2-2-1 model gives Big Ten and SEC four automatic bids. * Critics demand transparency, comparing Petitti's silence to other commissioners' open discussions. College Football Playoff controversy: Time for Big Ten commissioner to explain his radical proposal WWW.KSL.COM As the College Football Playoff world debates proposed formats for 2026 and beyond, the architect of what many consider the nuclear option has remained deafeningly silent.

Oregon Lands Commitment From Blue-Chip EDGE Prince Tavizon Oregon’s 2027 recruiting class got started with a bang on Sunday, as San Diego (Calif.) Lincoln 4-Star EDGE Prince Tavizon announced his commitment to Dan Lanning and the Ducks. Tavizon was on campus for his third trip to Eugene this year, as Oregon continued to emerge as the team to beat for one of the best defensive prospects on the West Coast. I listed Tavizon in my Five most important weekend visitors heading into the weekend. It looks like the blue-chipper saw all he needed to feel comfortable committing to play his college football in Eugene.. On the latest episode of the Ducks Dish Podcast, ScoopDuck’s Max Torres and Justin Hopkins break down Tavizon’s commitment and what it means for Oregon Football moving forward as June gets underway. Tavizon has seen his stock take off on the recruiting trail this spring, with offers from Notre Dame, Texas, USC and Miami all coming in. The rising junior captured a state title with the Hornets in 2024 alongside true freshman Oregon quarterback Akili Smith Jr., as Lincoln knocked off Northern California powerhouse Pittsburg 28-26 for its second state crown in three years. As a sophomore the 6-foot-4, 245-pound Tavizon recorded 13 sacks. He hopes to increase that mark in 2025 as he aims for 20 sacks. The newest Duck continues Oregon’s pipeline to one of San Diego and indeed California’s most prestigious high school football programs. Tavizon joins a long list of former Hornets to play for Oregon including names like legendary quarterback Akili Smith, Tyree Robinson, Isaiah World and Jahlil Florence.
