It is that time of the week again to have fun with our game prediction contest! Guesses on other threads don't count--only those here, and only those entries completely filled out with the tiebreakers are valid entries. 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 of the opponent by Oregon? --How many passing yards by Oregon? My prediction of Oregon vs. Michigan: Oregon 26-13 2 2 182

Yes, but those could be the 2 loss teams ahead of us who end up with their 3rd loss.

5th graders wouldn't... 6th grades might because they are cheeky little gits. 9th grader wouldn't though.

https://247sports.com/college/oregon/article/cfp-chairman-explains-why-oregon-is-the-highest-ranked-three-loss-team-in-latest-playoff-rankings-292569602/ This right here. If Oregon puts up 21+ on a Mich D that has not surrendered more than 21 all year, the committee will continue to reward them. 27 points puts Oregon on the bubble at minimum. +4 spots would be my guess. The committee is showing a lot of love for Oregon.

Speaking of the P word, where did the PO committee's pod-ranking nonsense come from? The ranking criteria outlined in PO committee's ranking charter have no mention of 'pods.' "We can't consider 7-2 Tennessee's victory over 7-2 Alabama because the two teams are not in the same pod." 🤬 Are you not ashamed? 5th- and 6th-graders would not try to sell this kind of voodoo 'logic'. BAFFLING!

I’m not getting the B1G championship is the “only way” in logic. It’s definitely the “only sure way in”, but we’re already the highest ranked 3 loss team, and to me at least, it seems like a couple 3 loss teams might just make it in this year. The fact the committee members are already discussing us tells me all I need to know….imo 😆

The P-Word is back! 👌👍😁😎😍❤️ I blame this erratic season on not being able to P! 🥸

I guess the Jock's not on him?

You know, and at the risk of crossing a line here... Call me crazy, but I strongly recommend that all Beavis' just say "NO" to Chinese Communist spies.

Change conferences . . . DUH!!

In next year's 24-team playoff (PO), No. 16 Oregon takes the last 1st-round sweet spot. OBD would host USC, the University of South Carolina.

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.

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!

Not that it matters, but once the trough is filled, he eats with them.

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......

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

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.
