Ohio State Win Just Luck
Repeating what was posted elsewhere, the last time Ohio State lost in Columbus when scoring more than 28 points was a 31-34 loss to Michigan at the end of the 1988 season. Since the start of the 1989 season they are 181-2 when scoring 28 or more at The Horseshoe. Those 2 losses? 28-35 to Oregon in 2021, and 28-41 to Oregon in 2026. In those 181 wins they've scored 28 twelve times and are 10-2. All other 171 wins were more than 28 points, at home. 181 is an incredible number. Some very good offenses and defenses in those 38 seasons. Yes, there were some weak non-conference opponents in that number, but a lot of Big Ten opponents visiting The Shoe also. During that 181 wins, tOSU beat visiting Oregon State 77-31 in 2018. It was Ryan Day's first game as tOSU head coach as he was temporarily designated to replace Urban Meyer at the beginning of that season. It was Jonathan Smith's first game as Beavers head coach. It was 42-14 at half-time.

November 10th CFP Ranking: OBD Jumps to Number 16
Log, I think a team with wins over No. 18 on the road, No. 20 on the road, and the 24th-ranked team, and losses to No. 4, No. 25, and a road loss to a 6-3 team, and with the 15th strength of record (SOR), is ranked as warranted by the performance to date. I'm gratified to see the PO committee using data points and not just wins and losses or a team's conference affiliation. Gratified to see 3-loss Oregon ranked above a two-loss USC team Oregon defeated and ahead of 3-loss South Carolina, Ole Miss, LSU, and Missouri. Subjectively, I think Oregon is being rewarded for winning games with a backup QB, also the case for UCLA. I am disappointed that UCLA, with the No. 1 SOR, is ranked behind 2-loss Bama. But TIA, This is Alabama. (TIA = This is Africa in the movie Blood Diamond.) Beneficial results this weekend: USC defeats Indiana; UCLA defeats Illinois on Friday night in a hard-fought game; Arizona defeats Utah; Oklahoma State defeats Texas Tech; Baylor, 2-0 after the firing of Aranda, defeats a down BYU; Missouri at Georgia, Texas at LSU, Ole Miss at Oklahoma, Tennessee at A&M, and Florida at Kentucky deliver chaotic results; SMU defeats Wake Forest; and OBD, Boise State, Iowa, and Ohio State TCB. I'd like to see BC defeat the Domers, but ... There are a few SEC cupcake games in the penultimate week of the regular season, one of which features Alabama playing Chattanooga. Bama is at Vandy on Saturday and plays Auburn at home in Week 13. Bama is more likely to move into the top two than to drop with a loss. MASH MICHIGAN!

The Oregon Offense: What's Your Line?
After watching 9 games and viewing a number of podcasts that the players OBD's have for this offensive line lack the skills to pound the rock. OBD's barely got north of 100 yards against tOSU. However, OBD's made some of those runs count on the scoreboard. Against Michigan that may be a big ask. Use the run effecively to set up the downfield pass attack. Having more 2nd and 3 instead of 3rd and long opens the playbook. 275 plus passing yards should be sufficient. With 3 passing TD's. Play clean with no mistakes or turnovers. I would be elated with a 31-10 Duck victory. Go Ducks and hopefully no booing if the Ducks start slow. GO DUCKS......

Marsh Duck - Lanning is the Right Coach to get the Ducks a Championship
I agree completely. I am thinking we are seeing a turn maybe never seen before. Something incredible. I have been banging the drum for several days now. Not everyone will see it

Marsh Duck - Lanning is the Right Coach to get the Ducks a Championship
Lanning got busy when the oven reached 800 degrees. And stayed calm while people lost their damn minds. There's a reason it takes more than 5 years to earn the opportunity to win a title. It's called developing amongst extreme excellence. You can be skeptical. I know Lanning is the dude. The GOAT. Lanning has to run a gauntlet Chip never faced. The blowouts are meaningless. Chip experienced them too. Lanning sealed holes in the Titanic. And people are still talking about the ship hitting the iceberg. Few people have the stones to swallow their pride the way Lanning demonstrated. Few people have the character to dismiss ridiculous expectations and turn an aircraft carrier around in less than a mile. If grasp my concepts, you understand Dan Lanning is one the best damn coaches in football period. You are witnessing greatness. Embrace it. Or don't. I know I am.

Michigan defense may be good but their lack of offense is going to keep their defense on the field until they get exhausted and surrender.

November 10th CFP Ranking: OBD Jumps to Number 16
Oregon is currently the highest ranked Three-loss team. SEC doesn't have their annual Week 11 "patsy game" this year and HALF of that league will pickup another loss because of this. (Just hope the teams that lose help the Ducks position). Selection committee, all things being equal (yeah right!) tends to reward teams that pass their eyeball test going into the final couple of rankings. Oregons strength of schedule might also be an advantage such as the SEC teams are "rewarded" for playing multiple ranked teams during conference play. I am not expecting Oregon to actually get an invite, but it would not surprise me if they do. If they do, I think they will "represent" well. Play HARD! Play SMART! Play DOMINATE! Play with STYLE! Then look up on December 1st and see where you are. 🦆🏈🪨's!!!

The only chance is to win the Big Ten. They will need some help from the LA schools this weekend, although SC doesn’t inspire a great deal of confidence playing in 40+ degree weather in Indiana.

November 10th CFP Ranking: OBD Jumps to Number 16
This app is pretty cool to play around with. Scroll all the way to the last 3 games and pick the Ducks to win out. Then predict wins and losses for the remaining one and two loss teams. It will spit out the B1G CG teams at the top of the page. Long story short, if UCLA and USC both win on Saturday then Oregon will be in the championship game if they win out. https://cfb.app/big10/rankings

My formula is holding so far, let’s see if I’m wrong in a few more weeks 😆 At the end of the day, no matter how many secret SOS meetings happen, it’s a bunch of guys in a room and OBD get a lot of credit for being…OBD. Just win.

So, you're saying . . . Agreed. However, if the first go around of voting on the final day we are at 12 and Boise is still the No. 1 G6, then maybe, just maybe they take in the head-to-head and bump us one place.

The Oregon Offense: What's Your Line?
I hope Lanning starts to pump this team up in the media. Need to keep winning and get the hype train back on the track. Get media talking Ducks and change the narrative. And just keep winning decisively. Fans need to pump the sunshine everywhere comments are allowed. AND JUST KEEP WINNING!!!

The Oregon Offense: What's Your Line?
From a winning the game perspective ... Might just need a defensive score or an extra turnover some where to make up the difference here. Sometimes a weak offense gives the opposing defense scoring opportunities. Let's hope the Ducks can make it worth while.
