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_

The harsh reality Dan Lanning shared should leave Oregon fans optimisticEvery year since Dan Lanning got settled into his role as the Oregon Ducks head coach, it's felt like the team keeps getting closer to winning the National Championship. In the first season in the Big Ten, the Ducks won the conference but suffered a blowout in their first College Football Playoff game against Ohio State. This season, the Ducks knocked off James Madison and Texas Tech, but lost in a rematch against Indiana. While the way the Ducks have lost after showing so much promise stings, you can clearly see that the program is trending in the right direction. It seems like it's only a matter of time before Dan Lanning and his staff breakthrough, and the Ducks head coach feels the same way. Dan Lanning understands the challenge and just how close Oregon isOn Wednesday, it was the Oregon Ducks' turn to take the podium at Big Ten Media Days, where Dan Lanning and several players spoke to various media outlets.

OREGON ALSO TAKING A NATIONAL APPROACH TO THE 2028 WIDE RECEIVER CLASSThe Ducks have several promising West Coast options, but Ross Douglas is already extending the board from Florida to Michigan and North Carolina The 2028 recruiting cycle remains early enough that Oregon’s wide receiver board will change considerably before signing day. Rankings will move, new prospects will emerge and the Ducks will eventually evaluate another full season of varsity film before deciding which receivers fit together as a class. Even so, the opening of direct contact in June gave us the first meaningful look at Oregon’s priorities. From what I am hearing, the Ducks are not approaching the position with one specific receiver profile in mind. They are recruiting size, vertical speed, route-running ability and versatility across several different regions. That approach reflects the shape of the class. The West Coast has some good receivers, but it does not appear to have an unusually deep group of elite national prospects. Oregon will have to protect its regional options while continuing to compete for top receivers throughout the country.

Pat McAfee’s ZYN Question Draws Priceless Response From Dan LanningPat McAfee asked Oregon Ducks coach Dan Lanning about his ZYN habit. Dan Lanning’s Hilarious Response to Pat McAfee’s ZYN QuestionThe context... Lanning has been associated with ZYN, a brand of small, tobacco-free nicotine pouches, online as photos and videos have surfaced of Lanning putting in a ZYN pouch on a sideline before a game. Fans (and Barstool Sports) get amped up about it, even nicknaming the coach "Zyn Lanning." In 2024, before Oregon faced the Ohio State Buckeyes, McAfee directly asked Lanning, “How many ZYNs are we going through during this game?” In which, Lanning smiled and answered, “No comment.” Fast forward to Big Ten Media Days in 2026, and McAfee brought it up again, congratulating Lanning on quitting ZYN on the live television show. Lanning leaned back and smiled, hilariously shutting down the rumor, “I don’t know where you heard that." The slightly unfiltered personality clip of Lanning is taking over the internet, as he continues to become one of college football’s most recognizable coaches.
