"There's a team out west that has a cool factor that soars through the roof!" "This Ducks program is the OG of cool." Video production (Scott Anderson), innovation (on and off the field), uniforms, Autzen Stadium atmosphere. And, Dan Lanning. "He has packaged it into a rocket that is launching into the stratosphere." (Remember, this is YouTube, you can watch it at 1.5 X speed up to 2.0 X speed.)
Man it’s not hate. You gotta stop being soft. You want people to critique with hella rules behind it. Saying you’re not good enough for this level isn’t hate. This is why for example nobody can tell Bronny the truth with standards your giving big bro
You're not wrong. A Georgia/Ohio State path to the national championship game would be brutal. Texas, on the other hand, getting (likely) Notre Dame, and then the Miami/Penn St winner has a nice, smooth path. If they want a good playoff, they should use the rankings to ensure that the top-ranked teams are seeded opposite the bracket from one another. Ohio St should be 6 so they can effectively be the #3 seed. Penn St should be 5 (obviously they're not better than OSU, but it makes more sense for them to be on the same side as the 1 seed).
They need to take out this auto bid shit for conference winners. Give the top 4 ranked teams a bye. Period. So if the current playoff rankings were final, it would be Oregon, Ohio State, Texas and Penn State who would have a bye. So the first round would be: Notre Dame vs Clemson Miami vs Boise State Georgia vs Indiana Tennessee vs SMU It should always be the higher seed vs the lower seed. Second round would be: Oregon vs the lowest seed that advances Ohio State vs the second lowest seed Texas vs the third lowest seed Penn State vs the 4th lowest seed If all four favored teams advance Oregon vs Penn State Ohio St vs Texas There has to be some kind of reward for being ranked 1 and undefeated.
Notre Dame is quietly a scary good team. They had that big upset by Northern Illinois but since then have been routing pretty quality teams.
I'm actually hoping that they unseat Ohio State though (if we win the B1G). I just don't want to play tOSU three times until the Natty.
Yeah that would be dumber than crud. Could you imagine they go 3-0 vs tOSU? Ducks are their kryptonite kinda like UW was to the Ducks
More likely scenario: tOSU wins the B1G title game and gets the #1, and UO is #5, and they still have to play a 3rd game in the semis.
Anyone else trying to watch Ducks basketball right now? seems like it is not on TNT? Any links that work?
Is it really likely? I'm not sure I'd say that. tOSU has a MASH unit for an O Line..... and our D Line is exceptional this year. I think the teams are pretty evenly matched. Gabriel needs to play better and we need our guy healthy. Right now I'd say it's a coin toss on who wins the B1G.
So Ducks won both their seed games in basketball and are in the finals for the players era tournament
