Great comments. Dylan and the team benefited from two Roughing the Passer calls. The first was legit. The second? Would it have been called without the hit on Dante? And why, with 7 minutes or so left, did Riley go for it on 4th down and seven and give Oregon excellent field position? Shades of Dan in Stillwater. Dante or Dylan is a much better 'problem' to have than guys not showing up to play. There is a lot of talent on the SC defense. But D'Anton Lynn had the D playing together more than Gary Patterson. Oregon and Texas are the two teams that have played at least two opponents ranked in this week's AP Poll. Texas is 2-0; Oregon is 2-1. Until the end of October, polling is about the Eye Test. And as is usually the case, there are no bad losses in the SEC. Oklahoma and Texas A&M have been exposed. It's Mizzou's turn to pick up its second loss this Saturday when Florida visits Como. Is Ole Miss the team that defeated LSU in Oxford or the team steamrolled in the Swamp? Ten SEC teams are ranked today, but the SEC will start knocking each other off. Ole Miss is destroyed and stays in the top 10. Michigan loses by one point to a ranked team and drops out of the top 25.

The Senate Passes The Protect College Sports Act, 77-22. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/protect-college-sports-act-passes-senate/ The Bill now moves to the House, where it faces an uncertain future, with the Black Caucus members, among others, against passage. It has been reported, but not confirmed by the Power 4, that representatives of the four conferences have met and are in agreement on a revenue-sharing cap of $44 million per annum and a separate player retention cap. $5 million would be available for non-revenue sports. NIL deals would be scrutinized to ensure they are not being used to exceed the cap. However, without antitrust protection from Congress and without a bargained-for agreement with the athletes, the caps will not pass legal review.

With Bob Chesney's 2026 UCLA, I prefer the Origin of Thump! These Bruins will smash-mouth you for 60 minutes. Trench play and tackling will decide this game. It's not the greatest team with the greatest offense, but going on the road and holding better-than-average QB Washington and Maryland to 3 points was impressive. To date, this is the second screening of Cig from JMU to Indiana.

Not this season's SAG. He looked lost against Clemson and is in a sophomore slump under new OC Jordan Summerville, a former grad assistant at Oregon. The 30-year-old Summerville was the Tampa Bay QB coach and a strange hire by Tosh. He was brought in to teach SAG NFL quarterbacking. WHY?

5 years to play 5. Under the five year eligibility rule, there are no more redshirt seasons. Post-2026, Dante has another season of eligibility remaining, and Raiola is eligible in 2027 and 2028. With revenue-sharing and NIL, I expect many players will play college 'semipro' sports and delay going pro.

USC broke Dylan's leg last season. How about coming off the bench and throwing a TD pass on the second play? 👍👌😁😎😍

SS(ec)DD. Oregon is 2-1 against the top 25. It's not just the SEC; based on Notre Dame's, Miami's, and Texas Tech's opposition to date, why are these teams ranked as high as they are? And if anyone thinks the Playoff Committee will do anything more than count losses, well ... 🤬

Morally and coaching bankrupt. Lincoln Riley's record against the Top 25: 5-15! This record equates to $12 million plus a season? Only in LA-LA land.

I do hope you were able to watch your Gators Swamp Ole Miss. Looks like the Gators won by being passed over in the Lane Kiffin Lane Change Game. Jon Sumral and Bob Chesney, like Curt Cignetti, had no P4 head coaching experience before being hired. Florida and UCLA are collectively 8-0 behind smash-mouth run games. Go Gators!

From the looks of No. 23 UCLA's run game, perhaps the theme should be: Stop the Run; Party After. I don't think there'll be a run on these jerseys. 😁 Kids' shirts post a popsicle party?

Oregon had one of the tougher opening four games in CFB. Oregon is 2-1 against the top 25, with a road loss and a road win. Compare Oregon's schedule with Notre Dame, Miami, and Texas Tech. Against these schedules, Oregon would be 4-0. All is still there to win.

In the preseason, I thought Oregon had a tough and undervalued opening four-game slate. Lost on the road to No. 19 Oklahoma State. (How did a Tulane team wiped out by Arkansas on Saturday lasso the Cowboys?) Road win over No. 18 USC, and a home win over No. 22 Boise State. Oh, and the next game is against No. 23 UCLA, also off this week. As always, and it was earned in the postseason in 2026, wins just mean more in the SEC and losses just mean less. Florida, with a beatdown of Ole Miss in the Swamp, moves up 13 places to No. 8. Mississippi drops five spots to No. 9. Ohio State lost to now No. 1 Texas in Austin by one point and was ranked as low as seventh before moving up two spots this week to No. 5. Miami destroys Central Michigan at home and moves up two spots to No. 4; Indiana defeats 40th-ranked Northwestern at home and drops a spot. I have no beef with 10 SEC teams being ranked, well maybe with Mizzou being ranked No. 25, as nine conference games will make a difference come December. Preseason-ranked Oklahoma and Texas A&M have been exposed. But if A&M is no good, why is Kentucky ranked? Penn State falls to No. 28 with a loss to No. 26 Wisconsin? Michigan loses by one point to a ranked Iowa team and falls out of the Top-25? Rhyme and Reason need not apply. The voters say, and it's hard to argue against, that the SEC is the deepest conference. But when tabulating Others Receiving Votes, 12 B1G teams are ranked in the top 40: No. 5 Ohio State, No. 6 Indiana, 14 Iowa, 15 Oregon, 18 USC, 23 UCLA, 26 Wisconsin, 28 Penn State, 31 Michigan, 33 Nebraska, 38 Minnesota, and 40 Northwestern. Big Ten football games are not a walk in the park. Today, six SEC teams would be in the 2026 playoff field, and two Big Ten teams would be in the field. Will this be the case on December 6th when the PO committee's final ranking is released? Oregon moved up five spots with the win at USC. But an Oregon team that is 2-1 vs. the top 25 is being dinged for a road loss to a top 25 team. Had Oregon opened with San Jose State, Fresno State, and Louisiana, with the three games played in Autzen, and won at No. 12 SC as was the case Saturday, where would Oregon be ranked? If Ohio State had defeated Ohio U in Columbus instead of losing by a point at No. 1 Texas, where would Ohio State be ranked? Miami has beaten Stanford, Florida A+M, Wake Forest, and Central Michigan. This equates to a No. 4 ranking? No. 12 Texas Tech defeated No. 20 Houston by two points in Lubbock, Texas. Tech does not play another top 25 opponent in the regular season. Keep on truckin' Ducks. The schedule sets up for a finish in the top 8 and a 1st-round playoff game in Autzen.
