Spot On. UVA is the oldest team in CFB this season, and QB Pribula played well coming off an injury he suffered last season at Missouri. Georgia has many players returning from a young 2025 team that won another SEC title, plus an underrated QB in Gunner Stockton. The schedule is daunting but not as bad as the last two seasons. In 2026, the Sugar and Orange Bowls are semifinal game bowl sites, and teams are not tied to historic bowl sites. If seeded high enough, Georgia could play its opening 2nd-round game in the Peach Bowl. But there could be a lot of competition for a Peach Bowl spot if the B1G champ is from the Midwest, Miami wins the ACC, and Notre Dame finishes in the top 4. I think UGA wins the SEC and advances to the semifinals, at least.

Oregon 42-6 2 turnovers 3 sacks 250 yards passing

Oregon 38-17 2 TO 4 sacks 285 yds passing That 24.5 pt spread seems a bit high to me. If Oregon gets up by 3TDs there will be lots of 2's and 3's in the game and things may stall some. Boise St will rely on the ground game for as long as they can as their strength and to slow things down. They will be forced to throw once the Ducks get up by a few scores creating sacks and a turnover or two.

Ducks Win 56-12 3 TO 5 Sacks 356 yards passing It's so bad that Byron Hout punches himself!

Presuming the sunny weather prediction holds (since it Never Rains…): Ducks 42 - 10 1 TO 2 sacks 274 PYG

38-24 Ducks 2 TO 3 Sacks 295 PYG Late score by Boise State in the 4th quarter with our starters pulled makes it look closer than it really is.

I just asked ChatGPT how many points was Oregon favored by in 2024? The answer was 18.5. I expect Boise State to bring their game. DUCKS WIN! 31-21 2 2 284 yards

The season's prediction contests begins! Guesses on other threads don't count--only those here, and only those completely filled out as before. Let's have fun with it as we have so many years in the past... Let me know: --Which team wins: --Score: --How many turnovers created by Oregon? --How many sacks on the opponent by Oregon? --How many passing yards by Oregon? My prediction of Oregon vs. Boise State: Oregon 48-20 3 3 292

Virginia is an interesting team--one of the oldest and most seasoned teams in the country. Where have we seen that formula for success the past three years? Let's not be too quick to write the Cavs out of ACC contention (or the playoffs) at this point. They could well surprise us all.

No disrespect meant for Dante, but preseason QB ratings are notoriously inaccurate when compared to postseason accomplishments. But, hey, we have to have something to wonder about before the first KOs of the season. Go Ducks

In today's game, that kind of hit is: Over the Line! 😁

Depth chart? We don't need no stinkin' depth chart! Dan is not releasing a depth chart, and I get it. So, here goes: 10-2 39 points per game average. 22 points on average given up by the defense. PO 7th seed. Defeat 10th seed LSU in Autzen. Georgia in the Peach Bowl, and Mario and Miami in Las Vegas to capture Natty Uno. BEAT BOISE!

The Justin Wilcox special....aka, why Justin never got a sniff of the UO sideline as a coach.

ROC Boys Football - Four Things We Need to see vs Boise State

That’s a good question. If universities/colleges do cross that line and cede control of football student-athletes to become paid employees, where does that eventually lead? What can of worms does that open, and what long term effect might it have on the role of these institutions as educators? More immediately, what effect - by setting such a precedent - might that have on other student groups looking to the courts to open their way to the same relationship with those institutions? By once replacing the educational model of open inquiry with the role of ‘Me First’, you may have introduced the potential for an unexpected and long lasting domino effect on our institutions of higher learning. Nothing and no one is not vulnerable to the effects of unfettered greed once that door is legally opened.

Dante Moore is ranked No. 1 in CBS Sports' ranking of the 2026 Top 50 QBs. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/college-football-qb-power-rankings-dante-moore-oregon/ Someone at CBS Sports must have noticed that No. 2 Golden Archie Manning finished 38th in the 2025 QBR rankings. Auburn WR Cam Coleman transferred to UT and has been proclaimed as 2026's top transfer. In 12 games last season, Coleman had a drop rate of 6.7%. In 14 games last season and with more throws targeted in his direction, Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith finished with a drop rate of 1.8%. Other Big Ten QBs in the top 50 and when Oregon will play against them if their team is on the 2026 schedule. No. 5 Julian Sayin - Week 10 in Columbus The 2025 Heisman Award finalist who finished 2nd in 2025 QB Ratings is ranked behind Miami's Darien Mensah? Dante is No. 1, in part, because of his receiving corps. Ohio State doesn't have a good receiving corps? I'll give you Baby J and match him against Jeremiah. But unlike Sayin, Mensah will not play against six teams ranked in the preseason Top-25. --- No. 7 Jayden Maiava - Week 4 in LA. In front of 54,00 fans (🤪), Maiava got off to a good start against a bad opponent. --- No. 8 Josh Hoover - Indiana - Hoover enters 2026 with the most career passing yards in CFB. --- No. 17 Demond Williams - Washington - Week 13 - Autzen Stadium Why is a QB who put up over 3500 yards of offense in 2025 ranked this low? --- No. 24 Bryce Underwood - Michigan - Week 12 - Autzen Stadium One of 2026's BIG questions: Under the leadership of a functional, post-puberty coaching staff, including OC Jason Beck, how much will Bryce improve? Michigan has a tough schedule, but if the offense improves, eight home games give Michigan a chance to finish 10-2 and make the 2026 PO field. --- No. 25 Rocco Becht - Penn State Coming into 2026, Rocco's 26 career victories are the most in CFB. --- No. 26 Anthony Colandrea - Nebraska - Week 7 - Autzen Stadium Will the 2025 Mountain West Player of the Year have similar success in the Power 2? --- No. 27 Katin Houser - Illinois - Week 8 - Champaign-Urbana, Illinois In 2025, Houser led East Carolina to a 9-4 record with a bowl win over ACC Pitt. --- No. 31 Malik Washington - Maryland Considering the support, or lack thereof, that Washington received from his teammates in 2025, the true freshman and now sophomore had a very good season. --- No. 35 Nico Iamaleava - UCLA - Week 6 - Autzen Stadium In 2026, with a better surrounding cast from Bob Chesney on down, I think Nico will perform better than this ranking, and UCLA will finish 8-4 or 9-3. --- No. 36 Drake Lindsey - Minnesota Another B1G QB who is ranked too low. The deeper conference? Interesting test when Mississippi State visits in Week 2. --- No. 41 Colton Joseph - Wisconsin The Badgers open the season against No. 4 Notre Dame and No. 6-ranked QB CJ Carr. Joseph and Wisconsin will have a chance to prove themselves against the toughest Week 1 opponent a Big Ten team plays. --- Also on the schedule: No. 15 Drew Mestemaker - Oklahoma State - Week 2 - Stillwater, Oklahoma The waters will be anything but still in the Cowboys' home opener when Oregon comes to town. 2025's FBS leading passer Mestemaker is joined by 18 North Texas teammates who followed coach Eric Morris to OK State. --- And a HUH? for: No. 19 Keelon Russell - Alabama - Russell has never started a game for Alabama. No. 30 Lincoln Kienholz - Louisville - Like Russell, Ohio State transfer Kienholz has never started a game. No. 24 Louisville opens the season vs No. 9 Mississippi and No. 3-ranked QB Trinidad Chambliss this Sunday in Nashville, Tennessee. If anything, Trinidad, the best dual-threat QB in CFB, may be ranked too low. BEAT BOISE!

QB, or not QB? CBS Sports has Dante ranked at the top of the 2026 CFB QBs. Someone at CBS Sports must have noticed that Golden Archie finished 38th in the 2025 QB Ratings. And perhaps someone at CBS Sports noticed that new UT WR All-Universe Cam Coleman had a 6.7% drop rate last season. Jeremiah Smith played two more games than Coleman, and with more throws coming his way, had a drop rate of 1.8% https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/college-football-qb-power-rankings-dante-moore-oregon/
