Saturday Tradition's Paul Harvey has PSU slightly behind OBD and tOSU in 2025.

Penn State is getting some major pieces back for the 2025 season, but it could be a bit premature to make the Nittany Lions the Big Ten favorites.

 

ZERO passes caught by PSU WRs vs. Notre Dame. PSU will be strong at RB but with Tyler Warren going pro will need someone for Drew Allar to throw to.

The Future's So Bright 😍

EUGENE- The Oregon Ducks have succeeded in securing a roster full of talent and potential for the upcoming season. The Ducks boast one of the top classes in the nation, both freshmen and...

 

If Dante is as good as 'reported' by Tez and others and looking at the 2025 schedule I see OBD again playing a 13th game in Indianapolis.

 

A good thing? Maybe not for one more season with the current PO format. But I'll happily take bagging back-to-back B1G titles. In 2026 with a 14-team field, only two teams will bye and these two will likely open at home in the 2nd round. 16 teams of course would have every team playing in the 1st round at home and the 2nd round will also likely be a home game. 

 

LOL at the Cotton Bowl executive who argued in favor of bowls being playoff sites because "most of the people who attended the Penn State vs. SMU game in Happy Valley had to travel to the game."🤪

 

 

Kansas City and Detroit this weekend are not playing in Pasadena. 😁

This is the problem. Ohio State is fine without even playing for the B1G Title.

Spot On! Monday is the 16th game for tOSU and the Domers. Would have been 17 for Texas and Penn State.

 

Heck of a Format🤓.

The Commissioner's created their own Catch 22 with their format. They put a premium on winning conference championships, but also disincentivized winning the conference championship, for the B1G at least.

In answer to your question Dennis, Do Title Games Still Matter? How About NO!

 

Especially for the Power 2 where teams tied at the top will all make the PO field.

Ohio State did not play for a Big Ten championship and Notre Dame is an independent, but they square off for a national title anyway

RED ALERT!

 

I am responsible for monoriting Ducks Wire from 11 AM to 4 PM Pacific. Thus, I am posting Ducks Wires's Zach Neel's take on what the 2025-26 Playoff field will look like. Unfortunately, Zach has laid another egg. 🤓

 

After noting the 2025-26 playoff format will be the same as the 2024-25 format, Zach forgot to include a G5 team in the field. A G5 team and not the LSU Tigers will be in the field.

SMH! So many 'EXPERTS' still don't get the PO format. 🧑‍🎓
