Unfortunately I don't think Penn State has a chance, Michigan State, maybe, but I wouldn't bet on it, and I always root for Michigan, and it usually doesn't work out that way.

Ohio State lost to Oregon, but are above them in the rankings? Yes, they are, at the end of the season if both are 1 L teams, the Ducks have a strong case to be above the Buckeyes. But for now, the Buckeyes and Ducks have played about the same quality of schedule,; the Ducks have gotten by, except for Stanford, while Ohio State has stomped their opponents, averaging 49 points a game. So, for now tOSU being above the Ducks isn't wrong, But, what of Clemson. They were on top of the college football world. Dabo was challenging Saban. But this year it has fallen apart. Trevor Lawrence is gone, but DJ U. filled in last season and was fine. He'll be great. He has not been great. The Clemson offense is Off, and unlike at Oklahoma, Dabo does not have a 5 * QB to bring in, Does Clemson get back on top or do they fall to the bottom of the ACC?

I agree with Mario that there is much left to do with the passing game, however, that's like agreeing on which direction North is, What is he going to do with this keen insight?

Throw in baffling and bewildering, and you have it. 6-1 top 10, could win out and have a very strong case for the Playoffs, or could lose any of the games left on the schedule. Anthony Brown. I have no doubt, is out there giving it his all on every play, it doesn't always work out the way he, or we want it to, but them's the breaks. KT , more than lived up to his billing on Saturday. He's going to make the fans of a horrible NFL team very happy next year. His presence on the field could have as much impact on the team since 2007 and Dennis Dixon. CJ Verdell goes down, but "Always Say Dye" steps up with a record setting 4 carries. four touchdowns in a row! The DB's were great against UCLA, and their running game was shut down, What kind of game do we get next week, at home, against Colorado?

They were booing for cause, Mario, Do you want Oregon fans who just sit back and watch the games go by, or do you want a fan base that is invested in how the team, and coaches, are performing, I'm a Duck fab going on 53 years, I'm not "spoiled" by success. Sometimes the "numbers" can tell you how a team is doing, sometimes it is the "EYE TEST". For 2021 Oregon, both tell the story. Overall, this is an underwhelming 6-1 team, led by an underwhelming QB. Against Ohio State he did not have the INT's that he had against UCLA, He is playing better on the road than he is at Autzen. That's on him, you and the rest of the team. The Oregon fans I know bleed green and yellow, remember players and plays from years ago, you won't find fans who care more about their team anywhere. And, because we care, we will let you know about it.

Charles, I too am completely mystified by what I saw yesterday,. I haven't seen an Oregon team play that well since they beat Ohio State in the Horseshoe. That looked like a top 10 team. Coming back from 14 in the first quarter, this season, is one of the most impressive accomplishments a Duck team has made. Ever. DTR is good, really good, and I'm really good that their TE dropped that pass late, nut overall, player for player, the Ducks were better. Our DB's showed athleticism, skill and awareness, our WR's created separation and for the most part, Brown found them. His INT's were forced throws he had no business making, especially the one in the 4th quarter, but as the stats showed, the passing game worked. For a while we were all amazed by Dye's line 2-8 yards, 4 TD's? Talk about efficiency. And of course KT. That guy looked like the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft. I told you it was diabolical of you to force us to make our predictions before that game!

What in the world is going on, Kansas 10 Oklahoma 0

I'll just say that all 5-1"s are not equal. If Orgon had lost at theOSU. and won all the others, they would not be No, 10. Back in the real world, Oregon didn't destroy Stony Brook, lost to Stanford, and "gutted" out win over Cal, and entertained the Stanforders watching us struggle with winless Arizona. But even now we're seeing stories of more 4 & 5 stars committing to Oregon.

This us yet another example of McSham. The guy makes $$$$$, faces no backlash when it's proven his thoughts had no more value than any Husky Honks, but the main thing is, it does not matter, Mock Draft 1 starts and immediately is followed by 2 and 3 and Kiper has the same thing. They know as much about Draft prospects as National news, and ESPN spouters know about how well a coach is actually doing/ But. ESPN is nothing but candy/ It can taste good, but doesn't help at all. and too much can be harmful.

Oregon 30 (of course} UCLA 26 2 Turnovers, 2 Sacks AB goes crazy, 130 Passing yards

I’m sure UCLA is thrilled to be hosting Oregon, instead of having to go to Autzen,

Lee Corso loves the Ducks, and especially, The Duck" How do the Ducks fare when Lee Picks them to win?

2-4 Washington At 0-6 Arizona

Yes, I think we've arrived at the state of the Pac-12. How many coaching openings in the Pac-12 would be considered lateral to a currently employed head P5 head coach, let alone a step up?

I always go with 30 24 23 21 20 8

LeGarrette Blount also has 3, and is one of 6 players to win consecutive Super Bowls with different teams, New England in SB LI and Philadelphia LII

30, when was the last time a Pac-12 team hired a successful, employed, P5 HC to take over the program? The closest I can think of is Rich Rod, after he was let go at Michigan, being hired at Arizona.

This is WSU, but the candidates for the job are assistant coaches, what SEC job would be filled with an assistant coach?

I think this is a big part of the "problem". I don't think AB is confident that he can lead a team on drives incorporating downfield passes. He certainly isn't going to, "lead them open" or throw to the back shoulder, a pass farther than to a RB in the flat is out of his comfort zone.

Joe Moorhead, "I know a lot of people want a touchdown every drive, and that's just not feasible."

Yes. Recently we saw that Oregon is now Clemson, actually, this year Clemson regressed, and is actually even lower than Oregon. Clemson won the ACC and got to the Playoffs, the ACC isn't nearly as tough as the Pac-12, and even a 12-0 Pac-12 would be a little nervous about making the Final 4.

It feels funny to agree with Finebaum, but if you measure success by getting to the Playoffs and then winning, it is LSU all the way. Chip & Pete are the closest the Pac-12 has come to matching the SEC. LSU has two W's in recent memory, and as Finebaum said, Miles and Ed O aren't candidates for the Mt. Rushmore of coaches. Coaching in the SEC , LSU, Auburn, Texas A & M, Ole Miss, I don't think Kiffin is interested in going back to USC, gets you a lot closer to the CFP than any school in the Pac-12 does. Recruiting? A lot of the top talent in SC's backyard is going to Oregon...but a lot of the talent is going to SEC country, where the most talent is already. Whoever ends up at USC wasn't wanted at LSU.

UCLA's two losses this season have been at home, Fresno State & ASU.
