In a wide-ranging report from Yahoo Sports on the state of college football, Clemson leaving the ACC with several other current conference members is floated as a possibility by veteran college football reporter Ross Dellenger.

Ranking the most intriguing position battles for the Oregon Ducks this spring
With spring football just days away for Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks, we’ve been breaking down the entire roster over the past week, from position previews to depth chart projections for both the offenseand defense.
Now we want to look at some of the potential position battles that will take place over the next several weeks as players jockey for position on the depth chart. You may hear “position battles” and think that we’re only talking about guys who are vying for spots on the starting lineup, but there are a number of really intriguing competitions for spots on the second team, or even the third-string in Eugene as well.
Whether it’s redshirt freshman going up against upper-classmen, or an incoming true freshman working to establish an early spot in the rotation, the next several weeks of football will be fascinating to watch as we get an early idea of who stands where on the depth chart.
Here’s our ranking of the most intriguing position competitions to watch in Eugene this spring:

With name, image, and likeness currently altering the landscape of college sports, it seems that each week brings a news item that we haven’t experienced before, whether it be in basketball or football.
The latest news that came out this week is that a new in-season tournament could be coming to college basketball, which will potentially offer up to $2 million in NIL deals to participating teams. The first news of this in-season tournament was reported by Front Office Sports.
According to On3, the Oregon Ducks are one of the teams who have been in talks of participating in this tournament, along with big-name schools like Alabama, Duke, Kansas, Syracuse, and Virginia, among others.
The tournament is reportedly going to be held in Las Vegas at MGM Arena over Thanksgiving weekend, starting in 2024.

“Oregon is such a unique program,” Russo told Staples. “I use that word like I think I think definitionally correct, right? I don’t think Oregon has another true comp in that it was a program for years and years with zero — like Oregon had no history. … They just didn’t have a whole lot of nationally significant victories and success on a national level. And then all of a sudden they become a rocket ship, where they are now a national program that plays for big national championships. Not just championships but in big, national things, right?
"I think that's happened now long enough that they have established essentially we're looking at 30 years of this at Oregon....We have an entire generation or so of college football fans that have grown up with Oregon being a big thing. So I think that lasts. There's a tail on that nd that will linger on for probably another 20 or 30 years, even if Oregon were to hit the skids a bit."

Rece Davis Shakes Up College Football With Radical 16-Team Playoff Vision – Championship Landscape Set for Dramatic Expansion!
“Since we have expanded beyond the very small playoff, I would prefer just going ahead and going to 16, playing the first two rounds on campus, and eliminating conference championship games,” Davis said. “Now, along with that, each of these mega conferences — and the others too, if they wanted to — would play 10-game schedules in-conference and then not required but strongly encouraged to play another power team from the outside.Whether that’s crossover SEC/Big Ten or ACC, Big 12, whatever. You can play two if you want to, but definitely play at least one of your non-conference games like that.”

Report: College Football Playoff weighing new revenue model that would favor Big Ten, SEC
The Big Ten and SEC are continuing to push to elevate themselves above the rest of the leagues in College Football Playoff format negotiations. The latest turn, according toYahoo Sports‘ Ross Dellenger, is a push to get a bigger stake in the revenue.
The Big Ten and SEC are reportedly seeking to split 58% of the base revenue, while the Big 12 and ACC would be given 32% to
share. That leaves 10% left for Notre Dame and the rest of the conferences.
Under current CFP models, the Power 5 — soon four — conferences shares 80% of the base revenue relatively evenly.
In the new financial distribution, Dellenger estimated that the Big Ten and SEC would make something in the ballpark of $750 million combined annually, with around $450 million for the Big 12 and ACC and around $115 million for Notre Dame and the remaining teams.
The four-team CFP paid out around $460 million, annually, in total across all the leagues. With a new, 12-team model set to pay out $1.3 billion from ESPN for the broadcast rights, leagues and teams would still likely end up making much more in revenue, even if it’s a smaller proportion.

Five under-the-radar Ducks who could have big springs
Here are five Ducks who most fans aren't talking about who could use spring as a springboard to a bigger role in fall.
Spring football opens in less than a week.
Each year I like to identify a handful of players who I believe are outside of the realm of most average Duck football conversations but who I believe are capable of entering them with a strong spring and subsequent offseason. I'm choosing from players who have yet to become regular starters during their college careers. For some that seems unlikely to change in 2024, but my sense is that these five are each capable of becoming much more widely known.
I am not considering any newcomers for this exercise, as the focus is on players who have been on the team, but have yet to really pop.

Projecting the Ducks' offensive depth chart ahead of Oregon's spring season
The Oregon Ducks are less than a week away from getting their spring season off and running, with the first practice of the year taking place on Thursday, March 14.
There is a bit more anticipation for this spring season than we’ve seen in a few years, largely because of the sheer number of new players on the roster, both coming to Eugene via the transfer portal and as incoming high school recruits.
While a lot of the attention early on is going to be focused on Dillon Gabriel and Dante Moore, it will be important to watch as the roster takes shape across the entire offense with the Ducks preparing for their first season in the Big Ten Conference, vying for a spot in the newly expanded College Football Playoff.
Over the last week, we’ve started our position breakdowns for the Oregon roster, and now we want to wrap things up with a projection of what the 2-deep depth chart will look like for the Ducks this spring. We will revisit this after Oregon wraps up the spring season with the Spring Game at the end of April.
