Big 12 signed a 13 year 2.6 billion dollar contract in 2012, for 20 mil per team per year. Here is article that says Big 12 could lose 50% of their TV value with the loss of Oklahoma and Texas. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2021/08/02/big-12-warns-of-losing-50-of-tv-value-following-utou-exit/117803982/ Pac 12 signed a 12 year 3.0 billion dollar contract in 2012. It will be very interesting to see what the contracts will be this next go around. Pac 12 will have a new TV deal after the 2024 season. Big 12 will have a new TV deal after the 2025 season. With the loss of Oklahoma and Texas, I don't see the Big 12 having a bigger TV contract than the Pac 12 with their next signings.

When I gamble, I'm terrible, so when I say Alabama is going to cover the 13.5 by half time, don't put money on it. However, Cincinnati played by far the easiest schedule of the teams in the top 4. They played only 2 teams ranked in the top 50 of USA Today Jeff Sagarin rankings. His rankings are far from perfect, but he has all levels of football ranked. When you are given essentially 7 byes during a 13 week season, it is pretty easy to stay healthy. I think Alabama is going to make Cincinnati look like a G5 team that should have never been invited to the playoffs. When the playoffs expand, they'll always have a G5 team, but 9 out of 10 times, they will get slaughtered every year. The win against ND was nice, but it wasn't like ND played a great schedule. They played 4 teams with winning records: Cincinnati 13-0, Wisconsin 8-4, Purdue 8-4 and Toledo 7-6. Oklahoma St. is not only cover the 2.5, they are going to win out right. Notre Dame hasn't won a major bowl game since the 1994 Cotton Bowl, unless you count the Citrus Bowl in 2018 a major bowl.

I think the Ducks have been pretty lucky with the QB room. Not all of the multiple year starters were drafted, but every 2+ year starter was at the very least a good college QB. I don't remember Pete Nelson in 1988 or Ryan Perry-Smith in 1996. I was away in college in 1996, so that could be why I don't remember him. I came back in 1997 to finish my last 2 years at U of O. 1984 Chris Miller 2003 Kellen Clemens 1985 Chris Miller 2004 Kellen Clemens 1986 Chris Miller 1st, 13th 2005 Kellen Clemens 2nd, 49th 1987 Bill Musgrave 2006 Dennis Dixon 1988 Pete Nelson 2007 Dennis Dixon 5th, 156th 1989 Bill Musgrave 2008 Jeremiah Masoli 1990 Bill Musgrave 4th, 106th 2009 Jeremiah Masoli Not Drafted 1991 Danny O'Neil 2010 Darron Thomas 1992 Danny O'Neil 2011 Darron Thomas Not Drafted 1993 Danny O'Neil 2012 Marcus Mariota 1994 Danny O'Neil Not Drafted 2013 Marcus Mariota 1995 Tony Graziani 7th, 204th 2014 Marcus Mariota 1st, 2nd 1996 Ryan Perry-Smith Not Drafted 2015 Vernon Adams Not Drafted 1997 Akili Smith 2016 Justin Herbert 1998 Akili Smith 1st, 3rd 2017 Justin Herbert 1999 AJ Feeley 5th, 155th 2018 Justin Herbert 2000 Joey Harrington 2019 Justin Herbert 1st, 6th 2001 Joey Harrington 1st, 3rd 2020 Tyler Shough 2002 Jason Fife Not Drafted 2021 Anthony Brown

Despite going 10-3, I don't think the Ducks did anything great over the whole season. The Ducks had a great game against tOSU, but other than that, they did just enough to win in their other games they won.

1 correction. It seems everybody remembers Dennis Dixon got hurt in the Arizona game. That is not how it happened. Dennis Dixon got hurt in the 4th quarter the game before against ASU. Dennis didn't finish the 1st series in the 4th and Brady Leaf had to finish the game. Oregon-ASU Oregon's What If 2007 Season

I hope they have good data presented infront of them. The only Ducks I see as a 1st, 2nd or 3rd round pick this year is KT and Mckinley. Wright is a 4th round at best this year. Much easier said for a guy who doesn't have to make the decision, but if you aren't going to be in the top 3 rounds, going out early seems like a bad move. However, maybe next years draft has more guys in your position coming out, so maybe that is the reason for some of the guys to leave when they still have another year. I'm good on CJ and Dye. They are nice RBs, but I'm not scared of the RB position if both leave.

Tony T. is 52. At first glance, I'm not impressed with his previous jobs. Hopefully, he turns out to be good.

I agree, JM wanted out. I don't know how much control MC has of firing a guy during the season, but I guess JM didn't want to find out. I feel JM had near complete control of the play calling for the tOSU game and the UCLA game. Those two games stood out to me as a pretty large separation of how the other games were called. tOSU still had a high percentage of run plays, but they weren't the typical run plays Oregon ran during the season. UCLA we went to the air the most all season.

USC Wire confuses me with what they are trying to sell. Maybe, I'm the dope, but I don't want my OL and DL coach teaching X's and O's per se. I want my OC and DC being the X's and O's teachers. From the little I know about any of the coaches mentioned, they are good at their job coaching the OL and DL. I thought that is what a team wants? I love the comparison of how T. Lawrence crushed a team one of the guys was a DL coach. Yeah, because your team lost to a guy who appears to be a generational talent is how you should judge the coach.

NIL changed everything. I can see a minor league forming, but the way NCAA is set up, it can't be with University ties. College football and men's basketball will be dramaticaly different in 5 years. The change hasn't fully hit and I'm not sure if most fans are going to be happy when we see the end product. I hope I'm wrong, but two of my favorit sports to watch might become something to turn to if nothing else is on. Deion Sanders is getting paid 1.2 million. A few college kids are getting paid more than him. NCAA limited scholarships in 1973. Yes, some teams were able to have an exhorbiant number of kids on a team back in the day, but that was when there were only 2 or 3 college games on for the whole weekend. Yeah, a kid is going to love to walk on to a team and take home 50K, but that kid is also going to want to see the field. He'll take his talents else were the next season. NCAA still has some control of football teams. Once they see teams hiding players as walk-ons, I do see them limiting the number of kids on a team. Looking at GoDucks.com, the Ducks have 130 kids on the roster. I know rosters are a bit bloated right now because of extra years granted because of COVID. However, before COVID it was common for schools to have 110-120 kids on their roster. Make a rule where you limit the number of kids on a roster regardless of scholarship or not.

I think less trees would be better. It is so packed, most of it doesn't look like trees.

There are millions of people who apply for a job, interview for a job and then don't accept the job. I know I have done it. There are plenty of reasons for applying and then turning down a job. That isn't atypical.

And that is reason 1 million and 1 why I don't click on any of Canzano's articles. He is almost 100% click bait. I personally wouldn't call him a sports journalist or sports talk show host. I don't waste my time reading or listening to anything he writes or says.

Conferences to talk about the early signing period. I guess it really wasn't a good idea to change from February to December.

Brown went 10-3 and took the Ducks to the Pac 12 championship game. Did he play poorly for most of the games, yes. However, to say he did nothing is quite the overstatement. He had the 2nd most passing yards in the Pac 12. The 2nd most rushing yards as a QB in the Pac 12. He accounted for the 3rd most TDs as a QB in the Pac 12. He won the most games as a starting Pac 12 QB over all other Pac 12 QBs. Those are indisputable facts, no matter how much we don't want them to be. I have never been a AB fan and I never thought he was going to get the Ducks to the playoffs. However, he has absolutely earned the right to start the bowl game. I also believe unless he is playing like he did against tOSU or OSU, he should not finish the game. All of the other QBs have not played in 4 games to keep their year of eligibility, so I would definitely play at least TT if not all of them. With the likelihood of none of the coaches going to be at Oregon next year, they aren't going to care about Oregon's future.

Colin Cowherd is on Foxsports, not ESPN. He moved away from ESPN in the summer of 2015. Most of the national talking heads are there to have "takes" to get clicks and views.

I have to say, nobody is forcing anybody to read any posts. I know that I skip over posts by people I know I don't agree with. Why choose to get angry?

More importantly Justin is the #3 QB in ESPN's standard Fantasy Football rankings and #5 overall.

Every football recruiting site has these kids birthdates, so it is really odd BYU doesn't publish the date. It isn't like we don't know when they were born if we looked.

Remember Miami doesn't have an AD, probably a good reason why their AD didn't call Mullens.

Have to play him. Mario is also an insane. How do you not run the ball out. He did not learn the first time. He literally is insane for trying the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome.

We all forget most of these games are scheduled 5-10 years in advance. The game vs BYU was scheduled in 2015. BYU went 8-5 in 2014, 9-4 in 2015 and 9-4 in 2016. They played 3 top 25 teams at the time of the game during those 3 seasons and went 1-2. According to the Ducks depth chart today(12/2/21), they will only be losing 2 seniors. Anthony Brown and George Moore. KT is obviously gone and then possibly Verone McKinley and Mykael Wright. Everybody else is not good enough to go to the NFL. I would say the Ducks will have a heap more starters coming back than UGA. Georgia is losing 3 SRs on O with a couple of JR's slated to leave early. 8 SRs on D. They are loaded and I don't really expect a win in Atlanta, but Georgia is going to be a completely different team next year.

Have to run out the clock. That is the 3rd or 4th time the Ducks have messed around just before half. Cost them huge this time.

The only potential years that I remember had questionable final 4 was 2014 with tOSU sneaking in and maybe when Scott Frost had UCF 12-0 in 2017. The precedent has been there. You are a 12-1 solo conference champion and you are in the playoffs. All the computer metrics say the Ducks shouldn't be in the top 4, yet they have been put there every time by this committee this year. tOSU vs Oregon is different than MSU vs Michigan. Oregon controlled the whole game. MSU I would go far as say got lucky to win. I saw no problem with the committee moving Michigan ahead of MSU. Proved to the correct call. There are 3 weeks left in the season. That is way to long to be worrying about the rankings. Ducks win out, they are in. I have no proof, only historical precedent.

For all of the complaining about Oregon not being dominate, they are hardly ever behind in the 2nd half. Team Time behind in 2nd half Fresno St. 2min 57 seconds tOSU Never Stoney Brook Never Arizona Never Stanford 14 mins 4 seconds Cal 2 min 14 seconds UCLA 3 mins Colorado Never Washington Never WSU Never
