Oregon gridiron fans eager for 2026 as two major worries lingerLike Bob Marley's three little birds, the kids will be all right. Entering their fifth season as the masterminds of the Oregon juggernaut, head coach Dan Lanning and Chief of Staff Marshall Malchow have crafted a brilliantly constructed roster with two major potential flaws: They're replacing three starters on the offensive line, one an All-American, and inside linebacker Bryce Boettcher's 136 tackles are bound for rookie mini-camp with the Indianapolis Colts. Don't worry...about a thing. In SuperWest Sports composite of of post spring Top 25 college football rankings, an aggregate of 21 media polls, the Ducks are again That Team Out West and among the favorites for the national championship, yet at last week's Spring Game, the patchwork, split-squad offensive line gave up 10 touch-sacks with quarterbacks in a noncontact jersey. It was enough to give the most fervent Oregon fans a case of Peach Bowl PTSD, but the concern has to be tempered. In spring, defenses are always ahead.

Oregon Ducks Big Ten Payout Turns Heads For One Key Reason
The Big Ten Conference just shattered records with a $1.37 billion payout - topping the SEC's $1 billion - and even on a reduced share, the Ducks are already cashing in at a level that turns heads. That innovation now has the financial backing to match. And that’s where this really matters: the Ducks aren't just keeping up in the Big Ten, they are positioning itself to become one of the conference’s next financial and competitive heavyweights.

Dan Lanning addresses those blowout playoff losses"But that's what it's about. It's about taking the next step and growing. We certainly had a young team. Last year we had a lot of young guys that were able to contribute. But you don't look for excuses, you look for opportunities for growth." "What I do know is that we're going to have a stronger team in a lot of ways next year because of the experience those guys were able to get. They all took it and said, 'let's charge forward and figure out what's next.'" "I think we have the smartest team since I've been here as far as guys understanding assignments, what they have to accomplish."

Oregon Surplus Sale Sparks Debate Over Millions In Potential Value
The Oregon Ducks equipment surplus sale has long carried a Christmas morning feel for fans: racks of team-issued gear, rare finds and limited pieces all available for purchase. The Oregon Ducks equipment surplus sale has long carried a Christmas morning feel for fans: racks of team-issued gear, rare finds and limited pieces all available for purchase. But according to collectibles insider Darren Rovell, that same tradition also opens the door to a larger conversation about value in today’s NIL era. Rovell, a longtime collector and founder of Cllct, points to Oregon as the No. 1 most powerful brand in the collectibles space and believes the program sits at the center of where the market could be heading. When Rovell posted on X that Oregon is leaving millions of dollars on the table, Oregon Ducks on SI reached out to him to get further context. The sale is set for Saturday, May 2, at the Moshofsky Center next to Autzen Stadium, running from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., or until all items are sold. Past sales have included limited-edition Nike gear. As NIL and memorabilia intersect in today's college football, Rovell’s perspective highlights both the demand surrounding Oregon’s gear and the broader evolution of the collectibles market.

Oregon Target Anthony Cartwright III Turns Heads With Recruiting UpdateA massive Oregon Ducks recruiting target releases huge news in his recruiting timeline. The visit slate will begin with the Spartans, who are scheduled to get him in on May 29. This is likely to be his lone visit in May when it comes to his schedule, but anything can change at any moment. He will follow that visit up with a trip to Miami on June 5. This is just one week after visiting the Spartans. These two visits will set the tone for his third and final visit, which is slated to be with the Ducks on June 19. This is two weeks after his Miami visit. Big Ten Program Battles to Earn Official Recruiting VisitThis means one or two things: either Cartwright will take a gap weekend, or he is going to visit someone around the 12th of the month. If he were to take a gap, this could be considered a major advantage for the Ducks, as they would not only be gaining his final visit (recency bias could factor in), but he would also have time in between to let the high of visiting another program wear off. It is likely that teams will push for him to visit on this date, and the one to watch out for is Michigan.

2026 BIG Info, Predictions, Etc. (2)
Jhop's Post-Spring Big Ten Power RankingsI’ve read a lot of Big Ten rankings. Some before and some after the conclusion of Spring ball for most. (Washington’s is Friday night) It feels like most have Ohio State as the team to beat. And typically Oregon next at the No. 2 spot. I think for me you could argue either one and I think the difference between the two is pretty thin. Both are really good teams. So I’ll offer mine up with that caveat above noting I really see them as 1A and 1B more than anything else. After that, well, pick your poison. Oregon – I have the Ducks at No. 1 because I think they are a more complete team than Ohio State. We all watched Ohio State players fill the first round of the NFL draft, the top ten even, and you are going to convince me they are better? I don’t buy it. They are good, but no way they are better. Again, just my two cents. Ohio State – Like I said, they are good and the schedule isn’t a killer for them. I will not be remotely surprised if we are watching these two battle for the Big Ten championship at the end of the regular season. Indiana – Like Ohio State, I have a tough time believing this is a more talented team than last season. But I do believe in Curt Cignetti and his coordinators and the fact they are incredible coaches. I’m certain they will be good and a team you hate facing. But I do think there is a difference between the two above and Indiana and everyone below. Penn State – Yeah I know, I’m crazy right? Well try and convince me there is an easier schedule among the teams in my 3-7 range. No Oregon. No Ohio State for Matt Campbell and his new energy. I think PSU is poised to surprised and might even make it into the playoffs with some luck. Like I said, I know I’m crazy. (But possibly right.) USC – I’m an Oregon homer sure but I’m not dumb. This is a HUGE season for Lincoln Riley to quiet the ‘fire Riley’ chants. Which of course have gone away in the offseason once again. He made a move at DC, which might be lateral? If it’s an improvement, I like the fact he returns his quarterback and did recruit some players on the LOS. The schedule isn’t easy but it’s manageable. Iowa – Kind of a sneaky pick here. They will be tough each and every week. They will pound you. They will play a consistent level of football. They have Ohio State but they don’t have Oregon or Indiana or Penn State. Watch out for the Hawkeyes. Michigan – The only reason I have Michigan even this high is because I believe they made the best hire of the offseason. They will be tough, balanced, disciplined. The problem is they will only go as far as Bryce Underwood takes them. That right there is the gamble for this team. They also have an absolutely BRUTAL schedule with all of my top four teams and Oklahoma. Washington – The only reason I have Washington this high is I believe the quarterback they sued into returning is a good player. He will make some plays for UW and probably help them win a game or two they shouldn’t. I don’t think this team overall is better than last year’s team however and that is going to be trouble for Jedd Fisch as he once again tries to get out of Seattle at season’s end. UCLA – Yes I’m crazy. Just watch. UCLA will make a surprise run that most don’t see coming. And the schedule isn’t a tough one. Illinois – Thought they had a team last year only to disappoint. I don’t think it will happen two years in a row. On3Jhop's Post-Spring Big Ten Power RankingsSince everyone else is doing one, I figured I might as well. The Big Ten is one of, if not the most competitive conferences in football. Your season could be one or lost with an injury, having just a
