Not that USC leaving for the B1G TEN isn't another reason to hate them, but if Oregon gets invited to the B1G TEN, they are not going to blink an eye about going there. It is a bit silly to be angry at somebody for doing exactly what we would do in the exact same position. We need to root for what is best for the Pac 12 for this years CFP. We really needed Utah and Oregon to hold the banner, since USC/UCLA are leaving, but it looks way better for Oregon to be the only school to beat both USC/UCLA.

Unfortunately, we aren't talking about the Pac 12 getting 10 million less per year than the B1G TEN or SEC. The B1G TEN signed a 7 year 8.4 billion dollar contract. I'm not sure how the people creating the articles say each school will get between 80-100 mil, when 1.2 billion divided by 16 equals 75 mil. SEC signed a 10 year 3 billion dollar contract for only their old CBS games. This is above and beyond their current ESPN contract. As far as I can tell the SEC will be #2 behind the B1G Ten, let's say 70 mil per school. Pac 12 was hoping to get 500 mil per season, but that was with USC and UCLA. The number I heard thrown around is USC and UCLA are worth 30% of the TV revenue. That brings the contract down to 350 mil per year. If the Pac 12 stays at 10 schools, that is 35 mil per school per year. Pac 12 is going to fall behind by 35-40 mil per school per year. The CFP is supposedly worth 450 mil. However, we don't know how they are going to divide that money. It likely will be like March Madness and each conference gets a "point" based on number of games played. If that is true, the expanded CFP will not help get the Pac 12, ACC or Big 12 more money to catch up with the SEC and B1G TEN. It will actually give the SEC and B1G TEN more money over the other conferences. If Oregon wants to be on equal footing making money, they have to move to the B1G TEN, but they have to go with UW, Stanford and Cal. I truly think USC and UCLA are going to lose Olympic sport athletes once it is shown flying 2,000 miles for all away games sucks.

USC winning is better for the Pac 12, so that means it is better for Oregon. Conference games this weekend. Cal @ Colorado Need Cal to win Arizona @ Washington Need Washington to win Stanford @ Notre Dame Need Stanford to win USC @ Utah Need USC to win WSU @ OSU Both 4-2, but WSU having a win vs Wisconsin, we need WSU to win. The Pac 12 needs to have a true pecking order.

Kenyon Sadiq, ATH ESPN 300 ranking: 153 Sadiq is one of the premier big skill prospects in the country. The 6-4, 225-pounder posted rare testing measurables across the board for an athlete of his size at our Northern California camp this offseason. He jumped 32 inches on the vertical test and broad jumped 122 inches, showing elite lower-body explosion on a big frame. Those traits have translated into even more big-play production on the field this fall. Depending on Oregon's needs and his development, Sadiq could play WR or in a TE-H role. Along with ESPN 300 commits WR Jurrion Dickey, WR Ashton Cozart and RB Dante Dowdell, the Ducks have assembled one of the most physically impressive hauls of skill players in this class.

Dan Lanning expects a big recruiting weekend vs. UCLA Bruins DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM “I’m hoping to have some really great players on campus. It’s going to be an awesome atmosphere.”

Freezing out UCLA/USC would be great way to say, I hope you choke on your cake. No way Pac 12 stops playing the rest of the B1G TEN.

Flowe can't be on any NFL teams radar, IMO. He hasn't played enough to show enough to be a highly picked player. I can't see any NFL team taking him before the 4th round.

This is from an ESPN insider article. The most hilarious line is the first line in the 2nd paragraph. The offensive struggles weren't expected? I don't think Matt Miller watched a single Duck game while Mario was head coach. Miami Hurricanes' offense What's broken? The Hurricanes hired away coach Mario Cristobal from Oregon with the idea he would bring a tough, innovative offense after shaping quarterback Justin Herbert and offensive tackle Penei Sewell into top-10 draft picks for the Ducks. That hasn't happened yet, as Miami is averaging 32.8 points per game, 46th best in the nation. And while the Hurricanes are putting together 466.6 yards per game (22nd), it isn't translating to points on the field -- or wins for the 2-3 squad. (It's worth noting that those numbers are pushed up by a 70-point showing in Week 1 against Bethune-Cookman, too.) The offensive struggles weren't expected but are logical since Cristobal has implemented a complete change to the Miami offensive scheme. His players are learning a completely new offense under a new coaching staff. It takes time, but the results have been worrisome. The rush game has averaged only 4.0 yards per carry, and the offense as a whole has just 20 plays that have gone for 20-plus yards (tied for 108th in the country). Can it be fixed? The issues in Miami are certainly fixable, but it's likely a 2023 solve rather than an immediate one. Left tackle Zion Nelson has missed time due to injury and has struggled when he's on the field. That's obviously hurting the Miami offensive line and putting quarterback Tyler Van Dyke under pressure. This new scheme has also asked Van Dyke to do more classic pocket play, which is hard with a bad offensive line. Simply put, Miami has a talent problem up front. Cristobal cut his teeth as an offensive line coach, and he needs to build a wall there. Miami does have freshman tackles Matthew McCoy and Anez Cooper, who will be key players as the Hurricanes retool the line. Recruits Francis Mauigoa, Antonio Tripp and Connor Lew are also projected to join the team in 2023. Who is the draft prospect most affected? Tyler Van Dyke, QB. He had some first-round buzz heading into the season, but that has largely quieted after a tough start, and Van Dyke was even benched in Week 5 against Middle Tennessee after throwing two interceptions. The 6-foot-4 sophomore had a nice bounce-back game in the Week 6 loss to North Carolina, but talk of Cristobal's offense propelling Van Dyke's stock has quieted. Right now the focus for the QB is just on keeping the starting job.

GameDay was at the Kansas vs TCU game, that game was on Fox. Maybe, Big Noon Kick off for Fox will show up for our game against Utah.

Context matters. #1 was a personal attack. #2 was referring to play. #3 was referring to decision making, play. That is my opinion, but obviously it isn't the same as everybody else. All 3 could have been worded differently with clearer meaning. It isn't an easy task to find the line. Everybody grew up in their own unique environment. My son and his friends trash talk to each other all the time and don't think anything of it. My daughter and her friends the complete opposite. The only fix, is what you have been doing. Send an E-mail and let them know a better worded statement should be used next time. That is a lot of added work to put on your plate Charles. I hope you copy and paste a generic E-mail, so you don't personalize it each time.

They haven't announced it yet, but ESPN College Gameday is likely to be in Eugene. The Pac 12 hasn't had a team in yet this year. They aren't going to have Alabama 2 games in a row. The Big 12 just had it in Kansas. The only ACC game with 2 ranked teams is Clemson vs Syracuse, but Clemson already hosted Gameday. B1G TEN has no good games that week.

Dante currently lives in Mississippi. Not surprising he is visiting a Mississippi school. The city he lives in is along the Mississippi/Louisiana border, so I wouldn't be surprised if he visited LSU and Tulane. Most of these kids will only have this one time in their life to be wined and dined. It sucks for us to wonder, but if either of my kids are able to be wined and dined by multiple universities, I say go for it.

As mentioned by one person previously, Ty Thompson is not put in a position to thrive. I believe he threw the ball past the line of scrimmage once on the offside play? He hasn't looked great, but he is playing with the 2nd or 3rd string. If Nix comes back, he is gone I think. If Nix leaves he might come back to compete against Moore.

Arizona is nowhere near the worst team in football, at least this season. That title belongs to Colorado.

For the optics of the Pac-12, we don't want WSU to beat USC. We don't want the Pac-12 to cannibalize themselves. Makes the Pac-12 look weaker than it is. I dislike USC as much as everybody else, but we need them to only lose to Utah and maybe UCLA, if UCLA beats Utah. UW can't lose to anybody else except the Ducks and maybe WSU.

Breakout Oregon defender cracks top-10 in latest 2023 NFL mock draft | Ducks Wire DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM After 5 games, one of Oregon’s breakout defenders is being projected as a top-10 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.

It is funny to me the B1G TEN picks and chooses when TV market and TV numbers matter. The Ducks and Huskies have better actual TV numbers than half of the B1G TEN, but the numbers don't add up. UW, Cal and Stanford have a TV market bigger than half of the B1G TEN, but the numbers don't add up. Some articles have said UCLA/USC sports will be paying 10-20 mil more in travel expenses after joining the B1G TEN. If they make 40 mil more per year, that extra 20 mil is worth it. If 4 more Pac 12 teams are added, I suppose the extra cost goes down by half? Not to mention, the number of sports USC/UCLA play and the B1G TEN don't or the other way around. Adding teams to the CFP doesn't close the financial gap between conferences. If it is like the NCAA basketball tournament, it will actually widen the gap for the B1G TEN and SEC. Extra teams mean extra money for those conferences.

Can't have it a one way street. So, if a coach sits a player, but the player wants to play, should the player get double his scholarship? More NIL money? There are a million different reasons for everybody making their own decisions. It definitely sucks and can cause issues within the team, but the coaches need to focus on the players that want to play. If a kid decides to sit out the season, as a coach, I see no reason for him to be at practice. Deciding not to play has consequences. Not practicing with the team will hurt the players development.
