DB? Or not DB? The only difference between 2nd-ranked Oregon and No. 1 Notre Dame is that Oregon will face decent teams and top QBs this season. CFB stats are affected (infected?) by a program's strength of schedule. The only team on ND's 2026 schedule with similar talent is Miami, and the game will be played in South Bend. https://athlonsports.com/college-football/college-footballs-top-20-defensive-back-units-for-2026?utm_source=Iterable&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=athlon_thearena&utm_content=&hashed_em

Oregon's offensive line is going to have at least 3 new starters from last year's group. It's vital that OL Coach A'lique Terry has things worked out by week 4. He has one advantage--Oregon's defense.

Six potential challengers from outside the AP Preseason Poll top 5 usual suspects include 14 USC, 16 Michigan, and 17 UW. Indiana broke the code last season, rising from 20th in the 2025 preseason poll to winning it all, doing so without a Blue Chip Roster. CFB guru Phil Steele is particularly high on Michigan, with a future Hall of Fame coach in charge and an O-line and D-line ranked in the top 10 of Steele's position-group rankings. Boise State is predicted to overcome a tough schedule and take the G6 playoff spot. Four of the six teams cited in the article are on Oregon's schedule. Whew! Opponents in the Top 25 on the schedule, and Others Receiving Votes, in order of when games are scheduled to be played: Week 1 - 28 Boise State / Week 2 - At 34 Oklahoma State / Week 4 - At 14 USC / Week 8 - At 33 Illinois / Week 10 - At No. 1 Ohio State / Week 11-16 Michigan / Week 13 -17 Washington. A strong start and a tougher finish. And the eight games from UCLA in Week 6 to Washington in Week 13 will be played without a week off.

Fans in general, and especially on message boards (excluding this one and few others) are general knuckleheads. There's no accountability, and you generally get little kids, or grown ups with Beavis and Butthead brain activity on there. It's why I always recommend to anybody going to a big road game, that they hold judgement of said fanbase till you go to a tailgating, or local sports bar. You'll meet real people, and most of the time they are awesome. Don't do what I said if you ever go to Europe for a "futbol" match. Opposing fans have separate get togethers, and stadium entrances/exits for a reason.

PRACTICE 11 REPORT: OREGON HAS MOVED FROM INSTALLATION TO CORRECTIONDan Lanning revealed that the first scrimmage is already changing how Oregon practices, Dante Moore is beginning to operate like a coach on the field, and Matayo Uiagalelei explained why the Ducks’ pass-rush goal is bigger than sacks. Eleven practices into camp, the most important development may be that Oregon is no longer simply collecting information. It is acting on it. For most of fall camp, Oregon has been trying to create possibilities.

In this day and age, Oregon is going to be a recruiting juggernaut regardless. I think Riley is a great offensive coordinator, but an okay CEO. If USC ever got a great CEO, that's when you should worry. I'd want Lincoln in LA for as long as possible as a Duck fan.

Thanks, NJ. You are the Forum's Postest with the Mostest. 👌👍❤️ It looks like the memo finally reached CBS HQ, located in the Black Rock Building, 51 West 52nd Street, NYC, and CBSters finally understand that the SEC has left the building and the B1G boys have arrived. Dante at the top of the preseason QB pyramid, instead of some guy named after an island in the Caribbean, and a guy named after a hamburger joint with less than 24-carat golden Archies, is in sync with what NFL scouts have to say. When it comes to Dante, It Just Means Moore! I'm hoping Koi will indeed be a big fish in the Ducks' pond. I can't tell a lie: A'Mauri Washington and Brandon have a very good chance to Finney with the CFB Jackpot in Las Vegas. Unfortunately, I'll be here all weak. 😁

“If I wasn’t making mistakes, I’d be worried.” — Dante Moore That may be the quote of Practice 11. Lanning is changing practice around what the scrimmage exposed, Moore is taking control, and Oregon’s D-line wants to “destroy the pocket." Practice 11 Report

"Two things matter in college football: your roster and your schedule." Coach Pepper Rodgers, RIP. It is most certainly not a fair fight when it comes to competing for a spot in a 12-team playoff, especially when losses count more in one conference than in another conference. Ohio State, Michigan, Oregon, and USC all have tough schedule rows to hoe. One of Miami and Notre Dame, with Charmin Soft schedules, should finish 12-0 and the other 11-1. Trust 13-people doing their business in the dark to come up with the best 12 teams? I have a bridge I'd like to sell you. Here are a couple of OBD-oriented questions for Mr. Forde on the cusp of the 2026 season. SUBJECT: Warm weather teams in November? OK, OBD is located in moderate-climate Eugene, Oregon, and not Tucson or Miami, but games at Ohio State on 11/7 and at Michigan State on 11/20 will not be played on the beach. SUBJECT: Hangover Games? How about Michigan at home after playing Ohio State in Columbus? Washington at home after a Friday night game at Michigan State? At Illinois after a home game vs Nebraska with the Illini coming off a bye? And then there's UW at home after a Friday night game at Michigan State, with UW being the eighth game in a row without a break? No excuses. Beat Boise!

Oregon Football Turns Heads With New Logo PartnershipThe Oregon Ducks were part of a big sponsorship announcement ahead of the fall college football season. The Ducks were one of 13 college football teams included in Progressive Insurance’s announcement of added on-field logo branding on Tuesday. Oregon Ducks Announce Logo PartnershipJoining Oregon in the announcement were Boise State, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas State, Ole Miss, Purdue, SMU, Syracuse, Texas Tech, USC and Wake Forest. “We are excited to be a part of the college football landscape with this investment,” Sean Freeman, Media Business Leader at Progressive, said in a press release. “It is an opportunity to support the collegiate student-athletes at these storied institutions as well as create a unique viewing experience for the fans.” According to the Progressive press release, the on-field branding is expected to be “complemented by in-game videoboard features, in-venue LED signage, digital and social media integrations and other game day experiences designed to engage fans.” The on-field logo placement will vary from the sideline to the 50- and 25-yard lines, per Sports Business Journal. Oregon’s season is set to kick off on Sept. 5 vs. the Boise State Broncos, with the new logo expected to be debuted at Autzen Stadium for the home opener. regon’s inclusion in the 13-team announcement is just the latest example of the Ducks being among the most recognizable brands in college football. Whether it’s the program’s longstanding relationship with Nike, its standout facilities or commitment to revolutionizing the uniform game, Oregon continues to build and sustain a brand that’s hard to miss.

Nothing overly surprising to me in this poll, great to be in the thick of things! Interesting that UW thinks year 3 of a coach means something in 2026. I thought Indiana winning it all last year in year 2 pretty much turned that model on its ear. Their 2025 and 2027 classes barely crack the top-25 with 2026 composite around #12. Their QB left…and came back. I guess I’m a bit skeptical and agree with their 7.5 O/U.

There’s no question regarding the SEC’s ability to gain more Nattys. However, their inability to accept where the B1G now stands reminds me of another Twain quote: “No amount of evidence will ever persuade an idiot.”

Meet the Flock: Defensive Line and Outside Linebackers | 2026 Oregon Football

The road to the 2026 College Football Playoff starts right here. Today, Stewart Mandel and Ralph Russo are breaking down every angle of the newly released 2026 AP Preseason Top 25 Poll. Big Ten heavyweights Ohio State and Oregon headline the poll at No. 1 and No. 2. But does this mean the Buckeyes or Ducks can actually make the National Championship game? We deep dive into whether Marcus Freeman's Notre Dame Fighting Irish truly belong at No. 4, or if they are sitting in a preseason trap. Then, we flip the script to the Group of 6 (G6) preview. Stew and Ralph focus on the newly rebuilt Pac-12 conference and look at how Boise State is leading the pack after receiving the most votes outside the Top 25. We rank our top 3 CFP contenders from the G6 and close things out with a coaching special: which coaches could be on the move after the 2026 season wraps up?
