I'd compare TCU to FSU in 2014. They do just enough to keep winning. I think they will get smoked in the CFP. Big 12 isn't full of top 10 talent teams, but they aren't ACC either. Any P5 team undefeated at this point in the season is worthy of the CFP.

That is strictly TV revenue only. Making deep runs into March Madness and football bowl games also contribute big money. B1G TEN have higher paying and 2 more guaranteed bowl games and have more teams make it to March Madness. That money adds up.

No doubt the Ducks pass defense is not great, but the Ducks have been in a shoot out or winning by such a large margin, teams have to throw the ball. That is going to pile up the passing yards. I don't really think the Ducks pass defense was that much better last year than this year. It only appears that way when we were scoring 17 points and teams didn't have to throw the ball to keep up or catch up.

I have always been a more conservative approach guy. Always take the 3 in the first half, especially on the road. Rarely go for it on 4th down on your own half of the field. Dan Lanning and company are not along those same lines. As mentioned above, if I cheer for the successful gambles, I have to take the gambles that missed. The coach is the same, the philosophy is the same, only the outcome is different. The Ducks are very good at 4th down conversions. 4th Down conversion rate. NCAA College Football FBS current team Stats | NCAA.com WWW.NCAA.COM Discover the current NCAA FBS Football leaders in every stats category, as well as historic leaders. We have definitely seen where the Ducks can improve for next year. This is only year 1 for the Duck coaches. Most of the kids are not "their" kids, so they have to make do. I think they have made do really well. After last season, I know I didn't think the Ducks were ever going to be in the CFP conversation. Making the Rose Bowl was my best-case scenario for this year. Year 2, with more of their kids, hopefully we can see improvements in the areas needed. It would be nice if the coaches could flip a switch, but rarely is it as simple as that.

I don't see the Bo Nix staying another year raising his NFL stock significantly higher. Bo is turning 23 in February. That isn't exactly old, but by NFL standards that is really close to middle age. As others have mentioned, our OL will have significant changes. Bo is #2 in CFB with completion rate of 73%. Tied with Drake Maye at 39 TDs for #1 in CFB. I can't think Bo will better those numbers next year. I feel all he could do is drop his NFL stock.

What's new with Washington since Oregon last played the Huskies? DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM A new coach and a new QB. The Huskies are a potentially dangerous team heading into Saturday’s rivalry game against the Ducks

Washington Huskies Opponent Preview: Week 10 - Oregon PACIFICNWSPORTS.COM Saturday, the Washington Huskies travel to Eugene for their biggest game of the year as they take on the 6th-ranked Oregon Ducks.

Oregon has covered each of the last 13 games vs. Washington in which the Ducks were favored, a streak that dates back to 2004.

It will be a great debate if Tennessee and Oregon win out and if they are fighting for 1 spot. Tennessee will have played against LSU, Alabama, UGA and maybe Kentucky ranked in the final CFP. Ducks will have played against UCLA, Utah, the Pac 12 champ game and maybe OSU/UW ranked in the final CFP. Oregon's opponents have played against more P5 schools than Tennessee's opponents. Tennessee had 3 cupcake games, while Oregon only had one. Ducks also finish the season playing a much more difficult schedule than Tennessee. Plus, in the CFP guidelines, they are supposed to take into account a conference championship. Non-conference champions: 2016: tOSU 11-1 Conference champions: Penn St. 11-2, Oklahoma 10-2 2017: Alabama 11-1 Conference champions: tOSU 11-2, USC 11-2 2018: Notre Dame 12-0 Conference champions: tOSU 12-1, Washington 10-3 2020: Notre Dame 10-1 Conference champions: Oklahoma 8-2, Oregon 4-2 2021: UGA 12-1 Conference champions: Baylor 11-2, Utah 10-3, Pitt 11-2 A 1 loss nonconference champion has never beaten out a 1 loss conference champion. 3 weeks left in the regular season and then the conference championship. So, much time for chaos to happen.

My rule of thumb is if the majority of players weren't alive when it happened, then it doesn't matter for both college and professional. So, teams get 20 years in college and 35 years in professional sports. Nobody cares what happened earlier. I don't hear anybody talking about Ivy league schools as powerhouse football programs.

I don't think the Rose Bowl understands where they are at with college football. I have never been a fan of the stadium, I think it just short of awful. There are plenty of other bowl games that would be absolutely OK with getting into the CFP rotation. None of them would have 90K seats. 5 have over 70K seats and another 6 with 65K or more. Keep it on the westish coast with Las Vegas 65K or LA SoFi 70K. I like how the Rose Bowl is like 3 hours every 3 years is not asking for much. Well, it is when none of the other bowl games aren't asking for anything. Plus, when they do go to 12 teams, you are likely more often than not to have only the 3rd best B1G TEN and 2nd best Pac 12. Why should a crap matchup be given a prime-time slot? If the Rose Bowl isn't careful, they will be left out.

I'm not sure what Dodd was trying to express with this article. I don't think he came to any real conclusion. However, I guess he is trying to ask should the Pac-12 follow the money or visibility? Young people don't do normal TV. Neither of my kids (12 & 14) go out of their way to watch normal TV. People who want to watch college football will. If we are talking about 1-3 million extra per school, I can see not going the Amazon route. If we are talking more than that, then it makes sense to go with Amazon. If you are playing good football or basketball, you will be put on normal TV. If you don't have money to keep up with the other leagues, your teams are likely to be bad and nobody will want to watch anyway. Pac-12 should be concerned about visibility, not value compared to Big 12 as new media rights deal nears - CBSSports.com WWW.CBSSPORTS.COM Plus, a look at whether further expansion is coming to the Big Ten, Big 12 and/or Pac-12 If there is a big enough difference in money, I go with adding Amazon.
