I would just settle for wins from here on out. This season is filled with good teams suffering bad losses that follow big wins. OBD, UGA, Ole Miss, BYU, Ohio State, and Texas have all been “upset” after a huge win.

"Pac12 is G6. How would OSU and WSU count as P4?" Washington had earlier received a Big Ten "waiver" for scheduling WSU as the B1G now requires 10 Power4 games. This happened before today's CFP announcement. So, the WSU matchup will now also satisfy the CFP for 2027. Oregon has 3 non-Power4 non-conference games in 2027. OSU is not on their schedule. So, they will have to drop a non-con opponent, and find another Power4 opponent. OSU has 2027 games against BYU and Ole Miss, so those two opponents will not have to drop OSU due to today's announcement. Though, BYU also has Notre Dame in 2027 and would have been ok. I suppose that is an additional option for Oregon? Get BYU to drop OSU (August 28) and help them find a replacement, which would make OSU available to Oregon. On another note, UW is considering extending their WSU matchups to 2030. After 2027 WSU would not qualify as their 10th Power4. Many schools such as Cal, Stanford, ASU, Utah, Arizona already have their 10th opponent. Though in Arizona's case it is WSU. It appears the Ducks will have to look East to find the 10th.

I thought us fans are supposed to be stupid? Pretty much everyone was saying: Mehringer was a bad hire Our strength would be pushing the ball down the field, not dink and dunk Crader, Tofi Lailu, Luli, Addison for the OL. And after all the crap this season what is actually working? Whittingham straight up said Beck wasn't going anywhere until after the season was over. Next day Beck is gone, like his boss and boosters read him the riot act saying your going to change OC and go north and south with the ball to match the skills on our roster, like every nincompoop on TV is saying. Hubristic echo chambers are not coaching staff's friends.

"A handful of teams are currently saved by a unique carve out for Oregon State and Washington State under the new rules. For 2027, Oregon State and Washington State still count as P4 teams after the old Pac-12 abandoned them, the CFP confirmed to CBS Sports' Richard Johnson." I guess this is their participation trophy.🤣

Pac12 is G6. How would OSU and WSU count as P4?

Or go 3-0 and hope SC also goes 3-0 and then defeat UCLA in the final Big Ten conference championship game and score the B1G automatic bid. It won't hurt, but I'm not sure blowout wins over unranked opponents will move the needle.

Somewhat ironic that our 2026 that has been criticized by some meets the new requirement but 2027 doesn't. Perfect opportunity for home/home series with Cal/Stanford and the Arizona schools. Maybe Utah and Colorado too. I'm curious if they'll require the domers to play 10 A4 games to be eligible or treat them like a G6 team.

Teams with a 2027 scheduling problem include Oregon, Indiana, and USC. A game against Oregon State and Washington State next season counts as a Power 4 contest. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/college-football-playoff-expansion-indiana-usc-2027-schedules/ For all those who hate a 24-team PO. It's a 16-team PO with eight on-campus play-in games featuring teams that would instead have played in crummy bowl games off-campus, with many of the best players sitting out the exhibition bowl game. Better out-of-conference games will be scheduled. SOS will matter when sorting out the top 8 and the top 16 seeds. The fans of teams that have no blue blood will have a reason to support their team until the end of the season. On the verge of 80 years of age, I can't count the number of times I've been told that postseason expansion will destroy the regular season. It hasn't happened, including in Major League Baseball, where Tony Petitti helped engineer postseason expansion.

Not only have the Ducks nothing to lose. But they have been pressed and forged like no other team in college football. Right now, Oregon is the most dangerous team in college football.

The next couple months could be something college football has never seen before. I am going to bang this drum until the bitter end. Either I will be eating crow or minds will be blown. This is getting fun Duck fans

I think Oregon has legitimately turned a corner. Some posters were saying that Oregon was in trouble catching OSU after a loss to USC. Ducks absolutely dismantled Buckeye. Now some are saying the next game will tell us if Oregon is worthy. This will continue through the next 3 games. Ducks put themselves in this position and they need to destroy every opponent from here on out. If they do that they will be the 3 loss team selected. B1G CG or not. Show the nation who they truly are and they won't get denied. Just smash every one in front of them and leave no doubt. The path was opened up with FSU being left out a few years ago. Get into the CFP playing hot and run that wave to the top.

Why would Meh ever think "take few risks" is our brand of football with all the talents we got? That guy is just such a failure. But it certainly explains all the stupid and frustrating plays called and the results from them. Anything different would deliver better results, as we have seen from JJ so far. The TV commentators kept saying that OBD played loose against tOSU, because we had nothing to lose. Let's keep that up because we still hardly have anything to lose!

I believe we are seeing new ideas. Wrapped in old concepts OBD have been using for years. No matter who the new OC is, I want 40 plus a game in every game. Playoffs included. Difficult to execute, but should be the objective nonetheless. I'm tired of any defense limiting OBD. I want to see nuclear obliteration football style. That will seal our status in Blue Blood nation. A man can fantasize even if he is an old geezer.

I found dataduck earlier this year and have loved all his videos. He breaks it down in terms even I can understand as a non coach.

It's just so fun to see OBD execute and win such a big game with backup QB and twice-fired OC! JJ has been calling much better plays than Meh. Again, I am so shocked as to how bad Meh was, even compared to JJ. Hope everyone keeps this up and win the rest of the season! I will pick Michigan again this week, hoping to help keep the streak going 😃

OBD vs TBD Kyle Whittingham says the starting quarterback for Michigan's game vs. No. 23 Oregon is TBD - Yahoo Sports

I just realized how this win was not a big deal at all . . . does beating a team that is 6 - 5 in their last 11 games mean much?

ScoopDuckOn3's Max Torres and Justin Hopkins break down Oregon Football's huge 41-28 win over the Ohio State Buckeyes in Columbus. Oregon moves to 6-3 on the year and 4-2 in Big Ten play after emptying out the Horseshoe in impressive fashion Saturday. Dylan Raiola earns his most impressive win yet as Oregon's starting quarterback and the Ducks' defense passed its biggest test of the season after containing Buckeye wide receiver Jeremiah Smith.

🤔 Hmm, The Oregon Ducks won't be sure of which version of the Michigan Wolverines' offense to prepare for this week, thanks to a change at offensive coordinator in Ann Arbor, but also due to a potential change under center.

Agree, let the first two games be non-Power 4 games, let the third game be the Power 4 game.

What you say makes sense and sounds logical, except there is zero evidence that SOS has ever, or will ever matter. It's all about wins and losses. Play somebody weak, run up the score, play backups. That's the way.

Like Eric said, same concepts, but now using strategic use of tempo, and stacking, or ordering plays that takes advantage of talent (players over plays), that read defensive tendencies to our advantage.
