The new court will still have a tree's theme, but it will be much more muted.

Dan Lanning is 37 years old and 1.5 seasons in as a head coach with 80% winning percentage. Average age of coaches (minus Bowden) for their 1st title is age 49.57, with winning percentage of 75.55. Average season winning a title 7.72. With Bowden added into the calculation age 50.92, with winning percentage of 76.75. Average season winning a title 9.47. Most head coaches aren't who they are for the rest of their career 1.5 seasons in. My perspective is we shouldn't start to worry for a couple more seasons. Coaches will have growing pains. 1998 Tennesse - Phillip Fulmer 48 years old, 7th season, 66-11-1 84.62% 1999 FSU - Bobby Bowden 70 years old, 34th season, 304-85-4 77.53 2000 Oklahoma - Bob Stoops 40 Years old, 2nd season, 20-5 80.0% 2001 Miami - Larry Coker 53 years old, 1st season, 12-0 100.0% 2002 tOSU - Jim Tressel 50 years old, 17th season, 156-62-2 70.91% 2003 LSU - Nick Saban 52 years old, 11th season, 82-39-1 67.21% 2004 USC - Pete Carroll 53 years old, 4th season, 42-9 82.35% 2005 Texas - Mack Brown 54 years old, 22nd season, 169-93-1 64.26% 2006 Florida - Urban Meyer 42 years old, 6th season, 61-12 83.56% 2007 LSU - Les Miles 54 years old, 7th season, 62-27 69.66% 2008 Florida - Urban Meyer 2009 Alabama - Nick Saban 2010 Auburn - Gene Chizik 49 years old, 4th season, 27-24 52.94% 2011 Alabama - Nick Saban 2012 Alabama - Nick Saban 2013 FSU - Jimbo Fisher 48 years old, 4th season, 45-10 81.82% 2014 tOSU - Urban Meyer 2015 Alabama - Nick Saban 2016 Clemson - Dabo Swinney 47 years old, 9th season, 89-28 76.07% 2017 Alabama - Nick Saban 2018 Clemson - Nick Saban 2019 LSU - Ed Orgeron 58 years old, 8th season, 56-36 60.87% 2020 Alabama - Nick Saban 2021 Georgia - Kirby Smart 46 years old, 6th season, 66-15 81.48% 2022 Georgia - Kirby Smart

Yep, sucks to lose for sure, but next game. We can still make the CFP. However, no more mulligans.

Coulda woulda, shoulda... We will see them in the PAC championship game. Lanning needs to learn though. Left 6 points on the table and to go for it on 4th and 3 at midfield? I don't know why being so aggressive is considered a good thing. I don't want to be too conservative either, but leaving points in a close game is silly.

Yep, Chasing points. 24-29 looks a lot better than 18-29.

Hopefully, the D steps up. Have been average so far. I also think the play calling needs to adjust. UW D seems to know the plays before they happen. Still a lot of time, but need to kick it in gear now.

48-27 Ducks 2 TOs 2 Sacks 258 passing

Both coaches are in year 2 at their current school. Too early to tell what each coach is. I believe both are on an upward trajectory, but to have a definitive stance is a bit silly. I'm still not sold on Jonathan Smith and he is year 6. It is curious about UW throwing stones about coaching hires.

Granted, it is getting harder and harder to say these kids are students, but adding games makes it more like they are employees. More games would be great, but when some people are already complaining about the length of the college season and kids having so many snaps under their belt before going the NFL, I think it will be a hard sell.

Hopefully, the verbal equals a signed NLI in December.

There are a ton of moving parts, but the PAC stopped USC/UCLA from voting once they announced they were leaving. I don't see how that is any different now that everybody else is leaving. The only people really winning are the lawyers. There is definitely money, but there is also debt. OSU/WSU pay keeping the PAC, they also get the debt. With everybody leaving they are getting what they want, I'm not sure why they are fighting OSU/WSU who are getting the short end of the stick. They get a few extra years of having a bit of money, then they are G5.

It is perception. By giving UO, UW, USC and UCLA 3 rivalry game, looks really bad to the "original" B1G TEN teams. You aren't going to give the new guys preferential treatment. Also, Oregon has become a national recruiter and with a ton more games in the Midwest, I say the Ducks actually gain in recruiting.

Well, B1G does have Peacock and that is worse than the PAC12 network. However, the number of games shown on that network is much lower than the PAC12 network. Peacock will contain eight regular-season football games and potentially up to 47 regular-season men’s basketball games (32 conference and 15 non-conference) and 30 regular-season women’s basketball games (20 conference and 10 non-conference). As of right now, the B1G is not in the normal package for Comcast/Xfinity. Comcast/Xfinity website says they offer it as part of their normal package for regions with B1G TEN teams, so I'm hoping when the Ducks join it next year, I won't have to pay extra for the channel. DishTV had the B1G as part of their normal package, but they couldn't deal done with FOX and I wasn't going to have another football season of not being able to record games.

@Dr Hilarius Winning matters, but when you lose a 1 score game on the road, giving up 4 TOs I'd say the two teams are pretty equal. Then you have to go how the teams looked playing other teams. The eye test says beating OSU and Wisconsin means more than beating San Diego St. and Coastal Carolina.

I agree @Nevada Dawg the football polls are voters trying to make sure their preseason poll looks right. With football there really isn't a good way to compare teams because there are so few games played OOC. I'm going with the glass half full for the Ducks and believe their D is much improved this season, but we have UW, WSU, USC, Utah and OSU who we have yet to prove it against this year. I think the Ducks could go undefeated, but I would settle for a single loss before the PAC 12 championship game.
