6 hours ago6 hr Moderator 🤔 Hmm, ok, wow, that is a very low win percentage. But, I will be there in person to root for my Ducks!GO DUCKS, FLY HIGH!!!Oregon Ducks at Penn State Nittany Lions — Week 5Oregon Percent Chance to Win, per FPI: 27.1%Analysis: Unsurprisingly, this is the one game on the schedule where Oregon does not enter as a favorite. Not only are they playing Penn State on the road in Happy Valley — a white-out game — but the Nittany Lions are also among the best teams in the nation, widely ranked No. 2 going into the year. By no means are the Ducks out of this game, but it's going to likely be a top-5 or top-7 matchup, which is never easy to win on the road.
3 hours ago3 hr Moderator The 2025 preseason FPI should result in a name change to Eastern Shame Programming Network. There's bias and then there's this nonsense that has AP No. 4 Clemson ranked No. 16, the highest-ranked ACC team on the board, and behind USC and Michigan. The highest-ranked B12 team before Week 0 was No. 18 K State. FPI predicted the Wildcats would overcome a Cyclone in Dublin; didn't happen. SEC-SEC-SEC! 12 of the 16 SEC teams are in the FPI top 25. Thus, unless Arkansas, Kentucky, Vanderbilt, and Mississippi State are playing one another, every SEC game is a top 25 vs. top 25 matchup. Hide the Women and Children!If not for the requirement of the five highest-ranked conference champs being in the PO field, Nos. 1 Texas, 2 Georgia, 3 Alabama, all three with PO 1st rond byes, 8 Tennessee, 9 A&M, 10 Mississippi, 11 South Carolina, and 12 LSU would be in the 2025-26 PO field. First out would be No. 13 Florida. 🤪Make no mistake, I am not blaming the messengers, Steven A. and NJ Duck, but this tripe should have been left in the cellar with the rest of the manure and mushrooms. Instead, it will be used all season long by ESPN to tout the "SEC, a veritable gauntlet like no other ever witnessed in the Known Universe." (At least before postseason, right? 😁)ESPN's Bill Connolly's SP+ is SEC centric, but does not come close to this 🤬. Beat the Bobcats!
1 hour ago1 hr Moderator For What Their Worth? CBS's Tom Fornelli's Week 1 Power Rankings.https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/college-football-power-ratings-ohio-state-texas-lead-list-of-top-teams-heading-into-2025-season/Only 5 out of the top 12 come from the SEC. 4 B1G teams in the top 10, No. 1 Ohio State, No. 5 Penn State, No. 8 OBD, and No. 10 Michigan. I do like a 12-team PO team worthy ranking.
