May 12May 12 Administrator No. Spring Football has sprung, and Spring games have been completed from North to South and Coast-to-Coast. On April 25th, Oregon was the Big Ten’s last team to play its Spring Game, then Ducking into off-season workouts before the start of Fall practice.The Sporting News (TSN) Preseason Composite Top 25 Poll has eight Big Ten teams ranked in the top 25, and Illinois is ranked No. 30 among other teams receiving votes. TSN is used for preseason rankings. TSN’s B1G rankings: No. 1 Ohio State, No. 4 Indiana, No. 5 Oregon, No. 13 USC, No. 14 Michigan, No. 20 Penn State, No. 21 Iowa, No. 22 Washington, and No. 30 Illinois.2026 – Handicapping a B1G Race for the Conference TitleOregon plays at USC this fall...

May 12May 12 Author Administrator No. Good gosh....Jon Joseph gives us superb information in this article! Thanks so much, as again--I learn quite a bit from our own...."Schedule Maven" in South Carolina.BTW...I've confirmed that we CAN and WILL have articles published like the one above in this forum. They won't be on FishDuck.com, in the future, but they will be connected instead to this forum so we can publish articles like before...although the writers will be doing it independent of yours-truly.Another EPIC Game in the Coliseum? Mr. OBD
May 12May 12 Moderator No. Thank you, Charles, for another terrific editing job. I think it is appropriate to find another article of mine perfectly positioned as a missing link. 😁Great news about 'dressed up and somewhere to go' articles being available on The Forum. From time to time, I will most likely darken your editing door. You can run, but you can't 🦆🦆🦆.On January 1, 2027, the Rose Bowl will host a 2nd-round quarterfinal playoff game featuring the Big Ten champ. This season, we'll witness a Big Ten Run for the Roses, likely to be determined by a photo finish. (I'm sorry, Gonzaga, but the opponent will not be this season's Pac-12 champ 🙃.) Speaking of the Pac-12, Beat Boise!
May 12May 12 No. Thanks Jon for doing this series of analysis. I can grasp about 90% of what you are dishing up so I must be getting smarter!
May 12May 12 No. CFN error band for a toss up game is huge.It'll get interesting if there ends up being four 10-2 teams in the B1G. My wish is we play well enough to make the playoffs, but poor enough to miss the CCG. We need a 9th game in a row without a bye against the 2nd best team in the B1G like a duck needs it's feathers trimmed.
