Having been on far too many juries (no more, please), and having a career that involves conflict resolution, I say let the process play out. These cases are generally more complicated than they appear from the outside. We don’t know what happened: We don’t know the strength of the evidence, we don’t know if the police initiated a high speed pursuit recklessly, we don’t know how dangerously the suspect actually drove, we don’t know the driving history of the suspect, etc. etc. My 0.001 cents: How much money you have in your bank account should not matter (it does though, with those with resources almost always getting more lenient sentences), and age and maturity should be a factor in whatever sentence is determined. I remember how stupid I was as a young person, shudder. P.S. In every jury trial I was on I voted to convict because it was clear the person was guilty. However, in every trial there were mitigating circumstances that made it clear that “throwing the book” at the suspect was not warranted.

Add in they take consideration of injuries and the Ducks have lost a possible #1 draft pick QB and several in our very talented receiver group. No we won't have that QB back, but some of the receivers will be (enough to continue to make that group very dangerous). If the new play caller is successful in playing to Raiola's strengths, staying away from his weaknesses, and the offense gets on a roll (a lot of ifs) the OBDs have a case for the committee if we win the rest of our games. Find a team that has fought through as much adversity and found their way in the midst of it. Wins over Boise St. (possibly their only loss), USC, Northwestern and OSU (if we can pull that off, I think we can but certainly not a sure thing) will be a great resume on the good wins side. Plus that #13 strength of schedule lines up quite well against the other teams that may come in with 3 losses. And in match ups, we have wins over 4 playoff contenders. Of course that is all predicated on winning out. That is not a given, but a hope at this point.

If the uniforms will make them continue to play like the last two and a half quarters of the game, wear them every game.

I though they looked like winners.

What bothered me about the defense against Northwestern was how often they converted on 3rd and long. That drove me nuts. Their QB is deceptively shifty and quick.

Maybe Nike hired some Adidas designers

I liked them. I wonder what forest green would look like with white.

IMHO, it shouldn’t matter what anyone thinks would have happened. They had a great defense and would have had another month of prep to improve their offense. They were robbed by not one, but two one loss teams. The committee played politics with the SEC which should have been the fourth team, but Texas beat Alabama on the road in Week 2, so they had to keep Big12 Texas above Alabama, when Texas should have been left out. When you lose, you lose control of your destiny. But when you beat everyone in front of you in the old Power 5, it’s an injustice to everyone in that program to have a playoff opportunity stolen from you. They all checked out before that bowl game. I would have, too. Georgia might have been the best team that year. I have no idea why they laid an egg against Alabama.

Didn't like them. I like school colors, green and yellow. Until I saw the N on the helmets I thought the team in white was the Ducks.

Florida State was very good that year. It was their offense that would have been the difference. Scoring 16 against a middle tier Louisville was all the committee needed to see. The Seminoles wouldn't stand a chance against a good defense like Michigan's, and the Wolverines would have worn them down and stomped them. And even if those great players faced Georgia, Kirby had a message about whining. He delivered it poetically too. Florida State getting in based on merit is a nice narrative. They were no longer the team that rose to 11-0 before the injury. It also explains why Miami got in last year instead of Texas, who despite playing poorly plaid a much tougher schedule and survived. Not to mention playing Ohio State to open the season instead of Marist High School (local in Eugene). Miami lost to two unranked opponents and got in based on their September performance, and playing well in November. Florida State was limping into a title game they had trouble even controlling. It would have been embarrassing and unjustified to watch a limping Florida State take a position from a team that truly had a shot at the title. Remember-they got away with this by saying the best four. Florida State was not the 4th best team at the end of 2023. And it was fitting. Being humiliated exposed the program. If they were legit, it would have shown up the following year. Instead, the spiral has exposed Florida State is suffering as much as a bunch of SEC teams that no longer can stockpile talent. Norvell revived their QB's career-which unfortunately ended in Tallahassee. But the whining was more telling-they disintegrated. They disappeared as a program. The fan base surely didn't help (um hmm......).

If any 3 loss team could sneak into the playoff, it’s Ohio State. However, we’ll have the head to head win over Ohio State and USC. It’s unfathomable to imagine only two B1G teams would make the playoffs, but if OBD beat Ohio State and each of Iowa, USC, and Northwestern lose again (USC and NW very likely), the playoff committee may take a hard look at a 3-loss team. Oregon would arguably have the best resume and would be considered to be on a hot streak. I like our chances in Columbus. Finney vs Smith! This is Raiola’s team now and he is getting more and more comfortable each week. The young Buckeye QB doesn’t have the experience to exploit our defensive holes.

And losing 63-3 to Georgia in the Orange Bowl was the icing on the cake!

Coach Lanning's coach speak re Ohio St. Dan Lanning Reveals Respect for Ryan Day, Ohio State Buckeyes

I am too. However, the only reason the SEC changed their mind was because they went to a 9 league game schedule and saw what it does to the top 12.

Short answer... Yes Longer answer.. the uniforms are a metaphor for the whole team right now.

Are you talking uniforms or offense, defense and OLine play? Asking for a "nation"

I mean... They kinda were. The blacks are from the black uniform set. And the whites are from the all white uniform set. Some players were wearing the mummy duck stuff from last year at Penn State. Right now our uniforms are not synergistic and don't mix and match well.

ESPN's Bill Connelly's Playoff Tiers (Tears?) https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/50348637/connelly-cfp-tiers-contenders-week-9

They won in them--However I prefer school colors incorporated into the scheme.

I very seldom find very much fault with the uniforms, but these looked like maybe 3 different designers added their input with no concern for the rest. the colors just did not work.

Not my favorite
