Perception. SEC schedules cupcakes because the perception is the SEC has the best 14 teams in college football. Their conference play is murders row every week according to the talking heads. Even the computers have a bias towards the SEC. It is truly insane how much everybody and computers think the SEC is so much better than the rest of college football. If it is 8 or 9 it doesn't matter, but every P5 conference should play the same number of conference games.

I have a feeling the Pac 12 will be favored in all games except the Alamo bowl. However, it will really depend on who opts to play or opts to sit out. Ducks have a real good shot of going 7-0, but it wouldn't surprise me if guys sit out and cost the Pac 12 teams to lose a few games.

The CFP committee is supposed to take into account injuries. How is Tennessee still #6 with their starting QB done for the season?

LT Conerly 115 LG Harper 660 C JPJ 382 RG Steven Jones 211 RT Dawson Jaramillo 77 Conerly has been considered a player with 1st round potential. The biggest question mark is definitely who will play center for the Ducks and that is huge, but I don't think our OL is going to take a giant step back next season.

So confused with the basketball schedule this season. Both men and women have conference games, then have 4 or 3 non-conference games, then go back to finish conference games. I wonder if this is going to be the new normal.

Only 3 OC's or DC's make more than 2 million, highest paid makes 2.5 million. No shot Oregon pays an OC 3 million. Lupoi makes 1.7 mil, but that is because he came from the NFL where he was making a high salary.

That is a lot of trust Dillingham had in Moore in telling him he was going to take the ASU job, but don't tell anybody about it.

I always think it is crazy for teams to reach for a QB. Young and Stroud should be the only 1st round QBs drafted. However, I wouldn't draft them in the top 5. I'm wrong more than 50% of the time, but I don't see either of them being a sure thing.

That would be a ton of money. The NFL rookie minimum is over 500,000. So, if a guy makes the team, he is making at least 500,000. 6th and 7th rounders only make a team 30-35% of the time. What percentage of drafted players make an NFL roster? WWW.SPORTSKEEDA.COM Players drafted into the NFL are already facing tough odds to make the NFL roster. There's no guarantee that all of the drafted players will make the team's 53-man roster by the time Week-1 begins. We have seen first-hand plenty of Ducks leave early and not get drafted or get drafted later than they assumed. These kids growing up dreaming of going to the NFL. Even if they are given bad information, when somebody tells them they will get drafted, they listen like it is a given. I think some kids might be persuaded to come back given the right NIL deal, but far fewer than we probably think.

End-of-season review: On the whole, the Ducks were very good in 2022 DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM Time for a year-end review. We’ve got top performers, biggest surprises, and players who need to show more going forward.

tOSU fans expect wins vs Michigan. It is crazy. Made the CFP twice and won the Rose Bowl in his 3rd year. Terrible coach? tOSU and Alabama expect Titles or the season is a waste.

It is unfortunate the article didn't mention anything about grad transfers. Kids who graduated college in the past were able to transfer without waiting a year.

I'm not a fan of Clemson dropping only 1 spot after losing at home to a previously unranked team. The Ducks drop 7 spots losing on the road to a ranked team. Ducks are where they belong in the rankings, but Clemson certainly doesn't belong at 9.

Dillingham gets a raise from 1 mil to 3.8 mil. Nice to go "home" and get nearly 4 times your salary.

Rose Bowl thinks more highly of itself than the rest of the college football world. I wonder how much of the Pac 12 decision making process has rubbed off on the Rose Bowl board of directors? Nobody cares about the rose parade before the game, except the Rose Bowl and some people in Los Angeles. To be so concerned about the game time is silly. They are going to be left out and then what? The B1G TEN isn't going to want to continue playing the game if it isn't a NY6 game. Sources - Rose Bowl given Wednesday deadline for CFP WWW.ESPN.COM The Rose Bowl faces possible exclusion from the expanded College Football Playoff if the bowl can't agree to terms before a Wednesday deadline, sources told ESPN's Heather Dinich.

Pac 12 Bowl Games (My prediction for which team will go to the bowl is first in line) Rose Bowl Pac 12 winner (USC/Utah) New year 6 Bowl Top 12 ranking (Washington/USC) Alamo Bowl #2 (Utah/Washington) Holiday Bowl #3 (UO/OSU/UCLA) Vegas Bowl #4/5 (UCLA/OSU/UO) Sun Bowl #4/5 (OSU/UCLA) Los Angeles/Jimmy Kimmel Bowl #6 (WSU) OSU is notorious for being a terrible traveling team, so that is why I have them going to the Sun Bowl. However, maybe the Holiday Bowl goes with the feel-good story and takes them. After the Alamo bowl game, the bowls can choose teams if they are within 1 loss of each other in the Pac 12 standings.

I'm sure Deion will wait for a better P5 opportunity.

In the Huskie game, don't do the swinging gate on our 2nd possession which resulted in the fumble and don't onside kick just before half time. That is a 10 point swing. In the Beaver game, kick the FG on our 2nd possession. Ducks can then kick the FG to get the lead on our last possession. The Beavers final 3 scoring drives 38 yards, 2 yards and 28 yards. In a season there are highs and lows. I can't get too high or get too low. The high and low 10% are not the norm for a team. If you asked any of the rich donors what they thought of Mullens and Lanning after the UCLA game, they would have told you they were behind them 100%.

The defense needs to be looked at, but I really don't like to make changes just for change's sake. I truly don't believe 1 season is enough to know what the defense is going to look like, especially when they don't have their guys. Yes, the players on paper appear to be talented. However, if you are asking guys to do things, they aren't good at doing, they aren't going to excel no matter how much coaching they get. Keep Tosh, but he definitely hasn't started on the right foot. If there isn't noticeable improvement after next season, then yeah maybe start looking for a new DC. Personally, I think OC and DC really need to have 3 or 4 years to get a fair shake of installing their system. Yes, the offense looked great for the most part this year, but was it a one-year fluke?

The Beavers only win vs a P5 opponent with a winning record vs P5 opponents is the Ducks. A 4 point win at home doesn't make OSU greatly superior to UO. Especially, when they were outgained in total yards and 0-3 in turnover battle. Ducks have 2 wins vs P5 opponents with winning records vs P5 opponents. Utah and UCLA. If OSU had won by 10+, then they could have a gripe of ranking.

It is a rule in all of college football. Fans have to give teams 5 minutes to leave the field. This isn't the first time a fan and a player interacted after a game this season. This puts players in dangerous situations. Thousands vs 85-100. If you don't give a wide birth, you are on the field at your own risk.

The score was never 34-10. It was 31-10, then 31-17, then 34-17. Always take the points in the 1st half, especially on the road. ABC and ESPN don't know how to read the play by play score board.

It is a good hire, not a great hire. I don't give any coach 8 years, except Saban or Dabo. It is hard though. You want it to be painful for a coach to leave early, but don't want to be on the hook, if the coach stinks. He will likely win 8 games next season. They have enough talent, just 3-5 playd a game causing a lot of losses.
