Ouch!

I would get the best seat you can ANYWHERE in the stadium, because there have been a ton of unhappy Duck fans in their visitor section. I sat among Trojan fans there once, and it was OK....they are passionate fans, but not violent ones.

The next Indiana? When this question was asked before last season, I answered with Indiana. I'm that smart; it was a WAG. But this could also be the correct answer for the 2026 season. https://collegefootballnews.com/college-football/next-indiana-college-football-programs-built-to-shock-2026

I'm sorry that I cannot answer the question, but thank you for the post. Please keep them coming. 👍👌🦆

Hey everyone, this is my first post on here, and I wanted to gauge everyone's thoughts. My wife and I are all booked to head to LA for the USC game, but we are thinking about waiting until last minute to buy tickets in or near the visitor section. Do you recommend buying from someone on these forums, or waiting for ticket platforms like Ticketmaster to drop the prices? I know it's still 2 months away, but this is our first ever road Oregon game and we are super excited!

I won’t argue about their past history. However, the SEC is becoming USC, no respect for others, and tout stats from years ago….it is a bad look.

ESPN’s SEC Strength-of-Schedule Hype Draws Backlash Amid Big Ten’s CFP ReignESPN’s preseason SOS rankings favoring every SEC team over Big Ten squads like Oregon sparked fan and analyst pushback across social media. ESPN is once again catching heat for what critics call a self-serving preseason narrative favoring the SEC, even as the Big Ten enters 2026 having won three straight national championships. According to Yahoo Sports, ESPN Insights posted a preseason strength-of-schedule ranking this week showing every SEC team landing in the top 20 (yeah right 🙄), while only four Big Ten programs made the cut and no team from any other conference appeared at all. The timing raised eyebrows for Oregon fans and Big Ten backers alike. The Ducks have been part of the conference that has dominated the sport’s biggest stage in recent years, yet ESPN’s model — built before a single snap of the 2026 season — still tilts heavily toward the SEC’s reputation rather than its recent postseason results. A Familiar Cycle, Fans SayYahoo Sports’ Matt Yoder pointed out that this is a recurring pattern: SEC teams often enter the season with inflated rankings, get rewarded disproportionately for good starts, and rarely get penalized for losses because of an assumed conference strength that isn’t tested against other leagues in the regular season. The report noted that ESPN’s post cited the SEC’s move to a nine-game conference schedule as a driver behind the rankings, arguing that the additional in-conference game naturally inflates every SEC team’s strength-of-schedule number. Social media users quickly mocked the circular logic, with one widely shared exchange summarized as: the SEC has the toughest schedule because it plays the SEC, and the SEC is tough because it plays the SEC. Other critics zeroed in on ESPN’s dual role as both the SEC Network’s broadcast partner and the network building the analytics models that could influence Playoff selection committee perception. One social media post cited by Yahoo Sports argued that ESPN owning the SEC Network, the Playoff broadcast rights, and the strength-of-schedule model amounts to more than a ranking — it’s an inherent conflict of interest.

Three seasons ago, it was Tony Petitti and the Big Ten that were being roasted. Today, across the USA, the tables have turned, and now it's your turn to cry! However, It Doesn't Just Mean More; it means what the scoreboard says you are. No one will be surprised when an SEC team wins its next championship. But to claim that SEC football is better than the Big Ten, "by far"? Please, keep the hubris coming; it simply sets you up for a B1Gger fall. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2026/07/30/big-ten-football-cfp-record-sec-nick-saban-best-conference/91097653007/?utm_source=usatoday-sports-strada&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=usatbaseline&utm_
