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.

Michigan's uncertainty offensively could be an issue for Oregon https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/football/2026/11/11/oregon-football-michigan-offensive-preview/92713042007/

Wednesday War Room: Michigan Comes to Autzen With a Champ...Michigan's defense remains elite, but a struggling offense faces an Oregon team building momentum at the right time.

Oregon is currently the highest ranked Three-loss team. SEC doesn't have their annual Week 11 "patsy game" this year and HALF of that league will pickup another loss because of this. (Just hope the teams that lose help the Ducks position). Selection committee, all things being equal (yeah right!) tends to reward teams that pass their eyeball test going into the final couple of rankings. Oregons strength of schedule might also be an advantage such as the SEC teams are "rewarded" for playing multiple ranked teams during conference play. I am not expecting Oregon to actually get an invite, but it would not surprise me if they do. If they do, I think they will "represent" well. Play HARD! Play SMART! Play DOMINATE! Play with STYLE! Then look up on December 1st and see where you are. 🦆🏈🪨's!!!

The only chance is to win the Big Ten. They will need some help from the LA schools this weekend, although SC doesn’t inspire a great deal of confidence playing in 40+ degree weather in Indiana.

This is a question I ask myself every week.

This app is pretty cool to play around with. Scroll all the way to the last 3 games and pick the Ducks to win out. Then predict wins and losses for the remaining one and two loss teams. It will spit out the B1G CG teams at the top of the page. Long story short, if UCLA and USC both win on Saturday then Oregon will be in the championship game if they win out. https://cfb.app/big10/rankings

My formula is holding so far, let’s see if I’m wrong in a few more weeks 😆 At the end of the day, no matter how many secret SOS meetings happen, it’s a bunch of guys in a room and OBD get a lot of credit for being…OBD. Just win.

Heck, I give my coaching advice every Saturday while having at least 3 beers from my recliner!

Don't see it. If he comes back and hurts that knee again, NFL career is toast. Take the lower round hit, hopefully get on a better team, "live long and prosper."

So, you're saying . . . Agreed. However, if the first go around of voting on the final day we are at 12 and Boise is still the No. 1 G6, then maybe, just maybe they take in the head-to-head and bump us one place.

I hope Lanning starts to pump this team up in the media. Need to keep winning and get the hype train back on the track. Get media talking Ducks and change the narrative. And just keep winning decisively. Fans need to pump the sunshine everywhere comments are allowed. AND JUST KEEP WINNING!!!

From a winning the game perspective ... Might just need a defensive score or an extra turnover some where to make up the difference here. Sometimes a weak offense gives the opposing defense scoring opportunities. Let's hope the Ducks can make it worth while.

Internet coaching is easy. Real-life coaching is hard.

With as crazy and frustrating as this season has gone, if the Ducks don't lose again this year, they still may end up National Champions. I'm letting this thing play out.

Michigan has given up 20 to Iowa, 20 to Minnesota and 21 to Rutgers so 28 seems about right for the Ducks to me. With UM's offensive problems, that's about 25 more than they should need.

16 is higher than a three loss team deserves. Chaos will happen as it always does. Ducks win out and finishing 11th is a real possibility.

Moving up five places in just three weeks....especially with our unremarkable schedule left, (in terms of rankings) and considering the teams ahead of us...I think it is a very low probability of Oregon making the conference championship game, and/or making the Playoff. But let's go for it!

We need to step up running the ball. At least 3 to 4 yards consistent so we don't get in holes. This will not be easy this week!

I like your numbers, and a new part of our entertainment is seeing what the ceiling is on the revised Oregon offense. Most would say that matching the Ohio State performance would be more than adequate, as the step up from the Northwestern game was vast, but can we make another step from the tOSU game? The upside is there, but we only have three weeks; can they do it? Fun to watch for...

Now that OBD's have positioned themselves for a slim shot at a "at large invite", can they still play loose and have fun? Each week the pressure to win and win convincingly will build. There is no squeaking by or limping into a CFP invite. The only factor in the Ducks control is to beat the 3 teams left on the schedule. And win big! Some of the teams ahead of them will lose games. Opportunities to move up will happen. If the Ducks are an 11 point favorite, then win by 21. Be dominant and leave no doubt. This Duck team has the talent. Do they have the resolve when the pressure is on. Go Ducks! Open another can of whoop arse on the Wolverines. Impress the committee. Go Usuck beat IU.

Oregon has a game this week against a very nasty Mich defense. Top 15 nationally allowing 16 points per game. Top 5 in pass D and holds opposition to about 100 yards on the ground. Oregon has spent the season trying to fix a very talented but broken offense. The last couple games have shown a ton of improvement. Going into the shoe and smashing Ohio State. Ducks have gained a huge amount of confidence. My question... what does the Oregon offense have to do to flip your thoughts on the ceiling? Oregon on paper has as much talent as anyone. Some injury along the way has dampened that some but still super talented. My number is 27pts and 350 yards of offense. 125 on the ground. Oregon does that against this Mich D and I think the championship window is back open as long as they can get to the PO. What do you think?

Agree. They got treated like an SEC team this week with a 7 point jump. My thought before the rankings came out was that if Oregon could get to 15 or 16, then they have a shot at an at-large if they win out. Hopefully, they make the championship game and give UCLA a beatdown.

I don't know what happens from here. I am rooting like heck for my Ducks. Pumping sunshine and going full on rabid, bleed green and yellow fanatic. Ducks are on the move and getting above the line play from both sides of the ball and from coaching. No matter what happens, the coaching job Lanning has pulled out of his backside has been epic. Dude grew up as a coach and has solidified who he is as a coach. All the micro analysis is great and fun to read. But right now, Oregon is just playing ball and playing it well. Nothing to lose hair on fire controlled chaos. And I love it. Players are bought in when many could have threw in the towel. And they are dangerous. The committee knows it and jumped them up 7. Just keep winning Ducks. Imo, the conner is turned and some haven't recognized it yet. But man, you can sure feel it.
