I'm most worried about Iowa, who can always beat anybody any given Saturday. If the gods smile down on them and they don't lose again we are definitely out.

Don't throw the ball to Michigan DBs Don't throw the ball to Michigan LBs Don't throw the ball to Michigan DL I guess you could also include "don't fumble the ball" too, but everything else is secondary to giving the defense a pick 6, a field goal shot or at the very least a drive killer on the opponents side of the field when it's already going to be hard to move the ball.

That catch doesn't work without a perfect spiral. Kudos to DR for both placement and a perfect release. That's why he was a 5 star, not too many people can make that perfect of a throw.

I don't want to enter the Maize, but I will have a Brew or two. 😁 Maize n BrewStaff Predictions: Michigan Football vs OregonIn this week’s Roundtable, we discuss Michigan Football’s loss last week and where we’re at with this coaching staff, and give some predictions for the Oregon game:

If the Ducks aren't going to make the B1G Championship, a 7 way tie for first at 7-2 would generate some interesting discussions. Picking the correct B1G Championship game everyone would agree upon would be nearly impossible. I could see at least four different matchups that make sense. The tie-breaker actually picking the one that has two teams Oregon beat on the road by double digits would be interesting to see the conference defend. Pulling for Illinois tonight. Oregon can still get in if USC doesn't beat Indiana. Illinois wins tonight and then USC beats UCLA in the rivalry game leaving UCLA at 7-2 and USC 6-3. An 8-1 Indiana plays Oregon if there ends up a 4 way 7-2 tie for second between Oregon, UCLA, Iowa, and Wisconsin (however if it is just Oregon, UCLA, and Iowa, Iowa goes).

I commend the posters here for their good sense. George Wrighster pointed out on his Youtube channel that even the best coaches occasionally make bad player evaluations. It is to DL's credit that he has made an effective course correction that offers OBD at least some chance of a successful season. I find the phrase "hold accountable" inappropriate in this circumstance. DL did not embezzle money from the Athletic Department.

DC Jim Knowles did an excellent job at Ohio State, and this season he has the Tennessee defense playing great football. Under Franklin, Knowles flunked. The Penn State team that underachieved in Franklin's final half-season had a lot of experienced talent that did not perform as expected. A few weeks back, Kirby Smart noted that today's players are not as hungry or as motivated compared to players even a few years ago. Why should they be as motivated? They're being paid before going to the NFL. In the Big Ten this season, Ohio State, Oregon, Michigan, Penn State, and UW have not played up to expectations. USC has a game in Bloomington on Saturday and finishes against UCLA in the Rose Bowl; 8-4 is in view. UCLA has a motivated coach who came up from the G6 and a core of players who were playing at JMU last season. The coach and the players are hungry. In the SEC, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, and Florida, despite being ranked this season, have underperformed. Auburn will not cover the preseason win total. South Carolina, Ole Miss, LSU, and Missouri could all finish with four or more losses. Saturday, Texas is +4 at LSU and Tennessee is down to -1.5 at Oklahoma. No. 6 Texas and No. 8 Tennessee could suffer a third loss. A 24-team PO is coming along at the right time. The word of the day in CFB, like the NFL, is 'Parity.' Motivating players is harder than it was even half a decade ago. How many experienced coaches will adapt to this world of college football? How many coaches can handle today's roster turnover? Even 'recession-proof' Ohio State is feeling the pain. I watch games coast to coast, and see that Lopa, Grey, Green, Kasper, and even Makhi Hughes are balling out. Talent that not so long ago would have bolstered Oregon's roster, pushed starters for playing time, and would have been available to back up injured players. CFB fans are watching a new paradigm and expecting the same results. No team, especially a team in the Big Ten and the SEC, is talented enough and, sadly, motivated enough to simply show up and go 10-2. Unlike Notre Dame, Oregon cannot schedule for success. Firing a coach who goes 9-3 in a given season, especially in a season with injury to key starters, is not realistic in today's college football. Fire Ryan Day, Dan Lanning, Matt Campbell, Jedd Fisch, Mike Elko, and/or Brent Venables, and none of these coaches will be out of a job for an extended period of time. I haven't seen one of the CFB geniuses who want Dan Lanning gone suggest a viable replacement, a replacement who will go 54-11 (.831) in his first four and three-quarters seasons.

I've passed that stadium every single day driving to work for the last 20 months......and I can assure you that I give that stadium the one finger salute everytime I drive by!!!!

I think it was Columbia Bank. They removed the Husky Stadium name, because the Husky's don't win there very often.

It took the post as sarcasm, what a Washington or USC fan might post.

UW to change name of stadium for a $70,000,000 cash infusion from a bank. I’m on my phone and I forget what the name of the bank was but I thought they were rich and they didn’t need the money?

I hope I don’t get banned for saying this, but I’m rooting for SUsC. 😬

The other games that matter: Illinois v UCLA = Go Bruins, wins us the tie breaker with Ill; Wisc v Maryland, need Maryland (not going to happen), so look at tiebreaker below; SC v IU, Go Trojans !!!, then we have tiebreaker over IU; Purdue v Iowa, see Maryland above. Interesting the depth of tiebreakers: With Wisc, it would come down to the cumulative conference winning percentage of all conference opponents, something that won't be certain until the end of the regular season. With Iowa, we need Ohio St to win out so our win v them breaks the tie with Iowa. Oregon football: Four games that could impact Ducks' CFP chances

OMG, classic 😂💯👏

Being as we would be in the expanded playoff this year I would be absolutely shocked if we don't make it next year. To miss the expanded playoff would require a more disastrous season next season than this season which would take some absolutely catastrophic injuries. I say injuries because I think this is the worst year of assistant coaches Lanning is going to have for some time, he'll make another bad hire at some point because that just happens, but I think he learned the lesson on hiring.

A couple coaching decisions (not going for 2 points) could have put Oregon in position to win that game with what.. like 7 turnovers! I'd love a rematch with UCLA with what we are currently doing.

“…until proven otherwise.” Right. If “otherwise” appears, then we will cross that bridge when we get to it…

Devil’s advocate. It has been demonstrated that in the world of CFB in 2026 you can take a historically bad program (Indiana neck and neck with Northwestern for program with most football losses in history) and win a national championship inside of 2 years…and we still don’t have one to date. Now we also have the current UCLA and Oklahoma State examples of programs in the toilet doing amazing things in less than a year. Continuing as devil’s advocate, at what number of years does it become a question when a program that has one of the largest budgets in all of football and the HC makes an 8-figure annual salary? What happens if we don’t make the playoff this year, decline the Pop Tarts Bowl, and then don’t make the expanded field next year? I agree Dan is the man until proven otherwise, but everyone has some kind of limit. Apparently for some it is 5 years.

Jeremiah was the primary reason I originally had this game as being OBD's only loss during conference play. Our Young FRESHMAN was on him all day and closed incredibly fast when Jeremiah did get some separation. I am becoming more impressed as the season goes on with Coach Hamptons growth and his D adapting to different situations, in game and otherwise. Not to the elite level DL and our fan base demands...but certainly making strides in the right direction. Don't think he is going anywhere after the season. These next three games are primed for the defense to solidify their consistency and carry the Ducks (as they have most of the season) into the CFP and whatever awaits OBD once there. 🦆🏈🪨's

This video gives me a tremendous amount of confidence in what our Defensive Coordinator, (Chris Hampton) is doing. The greatest offensive weapon in America is shut-down until Garbage Time? It was a major factor in our victory, and mostly overlooked. A second factor was the defensive play on a fourth down for the Buckeyes...because of the score and timing within the game. It was huge, a major factor and also overlooked. Excellent video, and THANKS!
