Urgent:12-Team Playoff Committee Will Need a NET

Jon Joseph Editorials

What is the best way to determine the 12-team College Football Playoff field? Will the CFB Playoff Committee (Committee) simply use the won/loss records of teams when deciding on the Delightful Dozen? Or, like the College Basketball Committee, will there be a more nuanced approach? In an era of super-sized conferences with unbalanced schedules, it will hopefully be the latter …

The 2024/25 CFB Playoff Format Will NOT Last

Jon Joseph Editorials

Do you know what could save a lot of grief, angst, gnashing of teeth, and tearing of hair in CFB? The Playoff Committee (committee) keeping its collective mouth shut so that the final rankings reveal is the only reveal. Just leave things up to the AP Poll, Coaches Polls, and other guesses before the Grapevine Gurus come forth with the Playoff …

Oregon’s Recruiting Strategy’s Major Pitfall

Alex Heining Editorials

This past Friday, you saw 2023’s superstar QB Dante Moore commit to Oregon. While I’m ecstatic about the pickup for Our Beloved Ducks, I have some reservations about what our recruiting has said about our team recently. With recruits like these, why aren’t we winning every game against PAC-12 opponents? Now, of course, this is a huge can of worms that …

Agree? Lack of Playoff Expansion Helps SEC, Hurts College Football

Charles Fischer, Mr. FishDuck Editorials

The more time that passes and this subject comes up, the more I get frosted thinking about it. I was having fun checking the point spread for an upcoming NBA game, but was referred by Nevada Dawg to an article that torqued me off again thinking about the incompetence of those representing our league. The SEC commissioner Greg Sankey actually …

Oregon Football New Quarterback Bo Nix Eugene, Oregon

Why Bo Nix Should NOT Start at Oregon

Alex Heining Editorials

The transfer portal has given Oregon another quarterback who has had struggles in the past and is pushing for a chance at playing in the NFL. Bo Nix I feel is more complete as a quarterback than Anthony Brown is (or was at this respective stage of his transfer), there’s just one major issue I have with Our Beloved Ducks’ …

Oregon Football: Ducks Crash and Burn, Raising Tough Questions

Jordan Ingram Editorials

Losing raises a lot of uncomfortable questions. First of all, let’s tip our collective hats to the No. 23 Utah Utes, which was clearly the better team and prevailed in literally every facet of the game in its 38-7 victory over the (formerly) No. 3 Oregon Ducks on Saturday night at Rice Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City. Let’s not kid …

Oregon Football: Ducks Survive Dawgs, Monsoon of Early Miscues

Jordan Ingram Editorials

There’s nothing worse than wrestling a wet dawg. But it’s worth it for the No. 4 Oregon Ducks (8-1, 5-1), who overcame a brutal first-half monsoon of baffling miscues on offense to defeat regional rival Washington Huskies 26-16 on Saturday night in Seattle. And for those watching at home, we all endured Robert Griffin III’s play-by-play, which was wobbly at best and sprinkled with …

Did the CFP Committee Actually Get It RIGHT?

Joshua Whitted Editorials

The College Football Playoff Committee loves stirring the pot, don’t they? Tuesday’s initial rankings once again raised more than a few eyebrows across the country. Some of the biggest surprises included Alabama debuting at No. 2, Oregon landing in the top four, and undefeated Cincinnati ranking at No. 6. The Committee made plenty of good calls this time around, but …
