Jon Joseph Moderator No. 1 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Why would the B1G be adverse to this? 1. Alabama - SEC vs 9 Michigan AL at 8 Oregon Pac-12 2 Iowa - B1G vs 10 BYU AL at 7 OH ST AL 3 Cincinnati AAC vs 11 Michigan St AL at 6 Penn St AL 4 Oklahoma - B12 vs 12 Coastal Carolina Sun Belt at 5 UGA AL That would be 5 B1G teams in the field. That would mean B1G dinero. SEC with but 2 teams. How about a more likely to happen 8 team field with a G5 team guaranteed a spot? 8. Oregon at 1 Alabama 7 Ohio State at 2 Georgia 6 Oklahoma at 3 Iowa 5 Cincinnati at 4 Penn State That would be 3 B1G teams in the money. SEC with 2 teams. And with the Ducks and the Bruins defeats yesterday and Fresno taken an L at Hawaii and dropping out of the top 25, does GK want to wait until 2026 for the field to expand? There are still 7 SEC teams in the week 5 AP poll. But Ls do seem to count in the SEC. The ranked SEC teams dropped as they should have after in conference Ls. Kentucky at 5-0 deserves to be ranked. But 2L Florida at 20 is giving the Gators a lot of credit for a close home loss to Bama. No top 25 teams left on the Ducks regular season schedule. Best hope is for the Beavs to keep on winning and ASU winning out before the Pac-12 champ game. SMU is #24. I still think it might behoove the Pac-12 in the long run to invite Houston, SMU, #12 OK ST and TX TECH into the fold? 2 huge markets and many the dedicated OK ST and TX Tech fans. Hats off to Brady Hoke for getting SDS in at #25. Yesterday's loss to old nemesis Stanford is a downer. But there is still a lot of football to be played. Penn State at Iowa will obviously have a big influence on the week 6 rankings. Oregon may well move up a spot without playing on 10/9? UGA at Auburn will not be a gimme. And Oklahoma is by no means guaranteed a victory vs Texas. In 2021, the PO is still a very realistic goal for the Ducks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Administrator No. 2 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Jon! Your homework and subsequent analysis is epic! So much great information--thanks! (and I like the thought of Michigan coming to Oregon again, only this time in the winter?) Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Joseph Author Moderator No. 3 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Love the GIF! But if it's Michigan coming the penguins should be wearing khakis, no? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oregon112 No. 4 Share Posted October 4, 2021 For Oregon to get it back together and make the playoffs... Texas needs to beat Oklahoma. I think everybody else but Ga/Bama will get cut down with the rest of their schedules. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
