  1. 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
  2. Yep, sucks to lose for sure, but next game. We can still make the CFP. However, no more mulligans.
  3. 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.
  4. Yep, Chasing points. 24-29 looks a lot better than 18-29.
  5. 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.
  6. 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. Keith Gilbertson 2003-04: 7-16 Tyrone Willingham 2005-08: 11-37 Steve Sarkisian 2009-13: 34-29 Chris Peterson 2014-19: 55-26 Jimmy Lake: 2020-21: 7-6 Bob Gregory: 2021: 0-3
  7. 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.
  8. Hopefully, the verbal equals a signed NLI in December.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. @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.
  13. 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.
  14. With all our Midwest games, we will open up that recruiting area even more. I'd say it is an even trade.
  15. I'm not a fan of not always playing UW, USC and UCLA. However, in the immediate future, we get at least 2 of them.
  16. Noah only played in 3 games this season. He hasn't even used his redshirt year. He could ask for a medical redshirt this season and still have another redshirt season available.
  17. Nobody likes to admit when they are wrong. Preseason rankings Week 6 Rankings #2 Michigan #2 Michigan #3 tOSU #4 tOSU #7 Penn St #6 Penn St. #6 USC #7 Washington #10 Washington #8 Oregon #15 Oregon #9 USC Michigan has won by an average of nearly 30 points. tOSU has beat a top 10 ranked team in ND. Penn St. has won by an average of over 30 points. Not easy moving teams ahead of other teams when everybody is winning and really doing what they are supposed to be doing. Just saying B1G TEN - 3 top 10 teams PAC - 3 top 10 teams SEC - 1 top 10 team Big 12 - 1 top 10 team ACC - 1 top 10 team ND top 10 team I'd say the PAC is well respected this season. Oregon St. is ranked ahead of all 1 loss teams except Alabama and ND.
  18. If the other 4 conferences have undefeated champions, then yeah the PAC 12 would miss out. I would like to think the PAC 12 champ had played a harder schedule than the ACC or the Big 12, but the committee will look at the L column and see a 1, where as the others will have a 0. However, 4 conferences having an undefeated record has not happened during the CFP existence. We haven't even played half a season yet. Way too much football left to play.
  19. Home team is supposed to wear white and the away team wears dark colors. Stupid dad stat, the reason why home teams wear white or light colors because before electric washers, it was difficult for away teams to wash their uniforms.
  20. Yes, UCLA still has to pay CAL. It will likely be 10 mil a year.
  21. Every school would accept an uncle Phil. Parker stadium sold the naming rights in 1999 to Reser Stadium for 5 million for 10 years. OSU got another 7.5 million when they continued the contract until 2024. OSU got an anonymous donation of 50 million to help reach 150 million to renovate the stadium. Sports aren't free.
  22. According to Title 9, the scholarships have to be proportional to the percentage of students at the University. The most recent statistics I could find were, 45% male and 55% female at the University of Oregon. If the men have 131.3, then there should be a total of 292 scholarships available at the University of Oregon. 292-131.3 = 160.7. The women are short 47.7 scholarships. I'm not sure how the articles finds 94, unless Oregon isn't offering the max allowed per women's sports. Also, the Universities don't need to have any support for club sports, so I'm not sure why/how rowing is trying to sue the University of Oregon. Male 45% Female 55% Baseball 11.7 Acrobatics & Tumbling 14 Basketball 13 Basketball 15 Cross Country/Track & Field 12.6 Cross Country/Track & Field 20 Football 85 Golf 6 Golf 4.5 Lacrosse 12 Tennis 4.5 Soccer 14 131.3 Softball 12 Tennis 8 Volleyball 12 113 Beach Volleyball 8 Being short 47.7 isn't a minor amount.
  23. The CFP can't break the contract that exists thru 2024. They can't randomly change their minds about a conference. CFP isn't bound by the NCAA, but they are bound by the contract they signed. That is a nice little loophole they found.
  24. We will always wonder how this would have played out if this season happened 2 years earlier.
