[Steven A]

They say DeBoer based upon track record.  Not so fast my friend.

College football analysts draw a clear picture about the 2025 National Championship run between Kalen DeBoer and Dan Lanning 

 

DeBoer's Pennix and WRs were the difference, abet by 3 points most of the time.

Using the SEC-biased FPI to support the SEC, or an SEC team, in any discussion is lazy, biased journalism. 

 

Who in Hades are the referenced Brown and Taylor? Are they haberdashers? Because Brown and Taylor sounds like a good name for a clothing store.

 

I'm pretty sure that in 2024-25, OBD defeated an all-hands-on-deck Michigan team in The Big House and Bama lost to a depleted Wolverines team in Dixie. And I don't think OBD loses to Vandy or Oklahoma.

Since year one, Lanning has not lost a game against anybody that did not play in the championship that year. How many other coaches have played five games in three years against teams that played in the championship? If Lanning were at Bama and Deboer was at UO, we all know who would be favored to win the title first. This article shows the fear that UO may have already moved past Bama on the current era tier list. How many more years does Mario need for "his" guys to get it done? Riley? Now Deboer is on that list. 

 

The media is afraid of the impressive trajectory the Ducks have been on since Lanning's arrival. A bad matchup due to the boneheaded playoff format is all that kept the Ducks from meeting the Buckeyes in the championship last year. This year's team may be the best ever by season's end after the young Ducks gain starting experience. That doesn't bode well for the traditional super powers or their fan bases that these writers need to appease. The Ducks are the new villain the block and I'm loving every minute of it.
