Thank you, Sir Smith, for posting this article under B1G Info, Predictions, etc. Here's a chance for other Forum Friends to chime in with likely far more salient and articulate comments than what follows. "A coach is only as good as his players and his schedule." Pepper Rodgers (RIP) Oregon Ducks On SIOregon Ducks’ Big Ten Schedule Ranking Comes With A WarningThe Oregon Ducks are heading into their third season as a member of the Big Ten conference. How does their 2026 schedule stack up against the rest of the leagu The opponents' names do not tell the entire story about the difficulty of the Ducks' 2026 schedule. Success against Ohio State? Oregon is 2-10 all-time against the Buckeyes. Ohio State returns a Heisman finalist at QB, the best WR in CFB, and an attitude after going 0-2 in the 2026 postseason. Ryan Day is 47-0 vs. the Big Ten, 2-4 against Michigan, and 1-1 vs. Dan Lanning. Oregon is at Ohio State on November 11th, Week 10, CFB's 2026 premiere Saturday - https://www.elevenwarriors.com/college-football/2026/05/162525/November-7-might-break-college-football On the 11th, Miami and Notre Dame kick off at 7:30 Eastern on NBC. There will be one or more impactful SEC games kicking off at 3:30 or 7:30 Eastern. This means a likely 9 AM body-clock game time in Columbus with kickoff at Noon Eastern on Fox. The good news is that Oregon will travel to Columbus after a home game against Northwestern, while Ohio State will return home after a game at USC, which is likely to kick off at 10:30 PM Eastern. OBD does not have an easy opening game. Boise State has had more than modest success vs. Oregon. The Broncos are 3-1 against the Ducks. Boise State is the top preseason-ranked G6 team in almost every preseason poll. Boise will be coming to Autzen with its hair on fire. The game, with a 12:30 PM Pacific kickoff on CBS, is Boise's Super Bowl. A chance to prove it is a playoff-worthy team in 2026. With OBD breaking in a new O-line, it's unfortunate that Oregon is opening the season against the Broncos, and not the Portland State Vikings, a team that Oregon will play at home in Week 3. The one layup on the schedule. After opening the season at nearby Tulsa, the Week 2 game at Oklahoma State is the Cowboys' home opener. Like Autzen, the noise at T. Boone Pickens Stadium exceeds the number of fans in the stands, with seats that are right on top of the visiting team's sideline. OK State is a far different team than last season's Mullet-Mess that OBD spanked 69-3 in Autzen. OK State's QB Drew Mestermaker led the FBS last season in passing yards, 4379, and 34 TDs. Also joining new coach Eric Morris in moving from North Texas to Stillwater, OK, are the American Conference's 2025 leading rusher, Caleb Hawkins, 1804 rush yards and 29 total TDs, and the American Conference's 2025 leading WR, Wyatt Young, with 1264 receiving yards, 3rd in FBS and 13 TDs. This game will be broadcast on ESPN. Kickoff is at 11 AM Central, 9 AM Pacific body clock time. After playing a road game at what will be an undefeated and ranked USC in Week 4, Oregon is off on 10/3/26 before playing eight Big Ten games in a row. This gauntlet begins with a new and improved UCLA at home on 10/10 and finishes in Autzen with a game against UW on 11/28. The good news is that Oregon does play five B1G opponents in Autzen. The bad news is that Oregon plays the most difficult schedule in CFB in November, especially when considering the travel demands. November 7th at Ohio State. November 14 vs. Michigan, Friday night; November 20th, 8 PM Eastern kickoff at Michigan State; November 28th vs. Washington. This is cruel and unusual scheduling. The second time in three seasons that B1G HQ has OBD playing eight games straight against Power 2 competition. Ohio State, Michigan, and UW are odds-on to be ranked in the top 25 when they play Oregon. (Northwestern plays 11 straight games (!), but the P4 gauntlet is broken up with a game against G6 Ball State in Evanston on October 10th.) To win a CFB championship today means playing 16 or 17 football games. Knock on a wooden duck decoy that the rigors of the schedule do not visit devastating injuries on OBD. So, eight straight, including a Week 8 road game at Illinois, with the Illini coming off a bye, at least one and quite likely two 9 AM body clock kickoff times, two trips to the Eastern time zone in November when the weather is likely to be cold, windy, with a good chance of snow, and a roster on both sides of the ball not likely to feature all of the players who start on September 5, 2026. WHEW! But it is what it is: BEAT BOISE!

This is an O O season for SC. Two program-defining home games vs. OBD and Ohio State. And UW will also be tough to defeat in LA. With Riley's B1G (more like little) road record of 2-7, I don't see SC sweeping road games at Rutgers, Penn State (White Out!), Wisconsin, Indiana, and UCLA. What happens with all the stud recruits and recruiting in general if SC finishes 8-4? Will SC come up with $10 million to get rid of Riley? BEAT BOISE!

Thanks, David. I always enjoy Monday with Marsh. Do you have any feedback on WR Iverson Hooks? He was being compared to Tez Johnson before spring practice, but he seems to have disappeared. The parts are there. Hopefully everything comes together. I'm hoping for an end-of-the-season bang, not a whimper.

Hats off to Wyndham. He stood up to the abuse on Long Island, never complained, and is putting his mistake at Oakmont in the past. Most players bow out of the next tournament after winning a Major. The Travelers' Tournament gave Wyndham his first invite before he had qualified for a permanent spot on the PGA our and Ckark notes that he will never forget it or miss this tournament when he qualifies to play.

The SEC and B1G footprints cover 26 states, ergo 52 senators. 318 members of the 435-member House of Representatives are from the 26 Power 2 states. The Congressional Black Caucus has turned thumbs down on the Cruz/Cantwell bill. Without the support of the Power 2, I don't see how the Bill reaches the president's desk.
