In a way-too-early top 10 ranking, FOX Sports analyst Joel Klatt places the Oregon Ducks, Ohio State, Buckeyes, and Penn State Nittany Lions in the top 5 for next season. Outside of the Big Ten, Klatt also believes in the Texas Longhorns and Georgia Bulldogs.

What is it with writers forgetting about Oregon?

 

"In choosing his team for the Big Ten, Connelly opted for a program that hasn't won the conference championship in nearly a decade. He believes the Penn State Nittany Lions will bounce back from their College Football Playoff semifinal loss to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and capture the Big Ten title for the first time since 2016.

 
Connelly's strategy for selecting the Big Ten winner is to choose the best team other than Ohio State, as they have won four consecutive Big Ten titles, and he prefers not to bet against a streak."

Okay, wait a minute, the writer didn't forget Oregon, I think it's just a confusing sentence. The "they" isn't referring to Ohio State, it is a collective "they," including Oregon, Michigan, and whoever won the B1G the two years before that, it wasn't osu2.

2025 is a critical year for Riley and USC. DUH!

 

 

TROJANSWIRE.USATODAY.COM

USC football and Lincoln Riley do not have the benefit of the doubt heading into the 2025 season, nor do they deserve it.

 

As I discussed with Charles the other day, now that SC's academics have greatly improved, does the administration, alumni, alumna, and students still put an emphasis on sports success? 

 

Yes, SC paid huge for Riley and Musselman but where is the fan enthusiasm? CBB attendance is bad.

 

Of course, as a guy who had season tickets for Runnin' Rebels games when Tark had it going on, what has happened to CBB? UNLV routinely went for 90 points plus every game. The team often scored over 100 points when it played in the Convention Center before the 3-point line was in play. 

 

Today's CBB play is a rock fight. (Beware of waving cane. 🤬)

Illinois plays at Indiana but otherwise, the schedule is favorable, no Michigan, Oregon, Penn State; Ohio State, and USC are home games. 16 starters are back including underrated QB Luke Altmyer. IMO The Illini will make a run at the playoff.
