Ducks up to 6th as expected. If they win out and knock off UW in the PAC championship, I think they’re in.

Lanning is a beast.

Lanning certainly appears to be growing into beast-mode

but, Tosh Lupoi has always been an elite recruiter for front-7 players. He was at Cal, at Washington, at Alabama. The question has been can he coach and can he coordinate. Before this season, the answer had appeared to be not-so-much. But the Duck D looks pretty damn legit this year. The question now is how much of that is Lupoi and how much is Lanning. You also have to give DLine coach Tony Tuioti some major credit too. This is the best Duck DLIne since the Buckner/Armstead days and arguably it's better, or at least much deeper with better edges

you can't overlook the Duck GM (Chief of Staff) either: Marshall Malchow. He was director of recruiting for Georgia and Texas A&M when they started to bring in top-5 classes. The job he does is behind the scenes but very important

the thing is though that coaches don't become elite unless they win in November. Lanning had a bad November last season, mainly due to Bo's ankle. He needs to do well in the final 5 games of the season this November

records after the first 21 games:

Bellotti 13-8
Chip 18-3 (two Pac-12 championships in first 2 seasons)
Helfrich 18-3 (one Pac-12 championship in first 2 seasons)
Cristobal 16-5 (one Pac-12 championship in first 2 seasons)
Lanning 17-4

of the 5 coaches, Chip inherited the most complete and talented team. And Chip came into the job when the Pac-12 conference was quite weak. Helfirch inherited great offensive talent, but the defensive talent was fading. Mario had to do the most building but he did inherit Justin Herbert, Dillon Mitchell, Troy Dye, Justin Hollins, Jevon Holland, and Jalen Jelks.

Lanning went out and landed Bo Nix. The long term test will be who is QB next season when Ohio State comes to Eugene

I’m a little scared about what the QB position will look like next season.

I think programs will have a hard time developing QB's when NIL and the transfer portal seems to be a better path for immediate competitiveness and contending for a conference championship and a playoff berth

look at the Pac-12 right now:

5Washington Huskies - transfer
24USC Trojans - transfer
6Oregon Ducks - transfer
16Oregon State Beavers - transfer
18Utah Utes - HS recruit(s)
Arizona Wildcats - transfer
20UCLA Bruins HS recruits but 5 star was benched
Colorado Buffaloes - transfer
California Golden Bears - HS recruit(s)
Arizona State Sun Devils - HS recruit(s)
Washington State Cougars - transfer
Stanford Cardinal - HS recruit(s)

5 of the top 7 teams have transfer QB's. And of the 5 teams with just 1 win, 3 of 5 have HS recruits at QB

That's why having the Beavers in a lower league than us is really going to help. They develop a QB, we get them to transfer by offering big NIL $$$$.

* Oregon wanted Texas & Oklahoma to join the PAC in 2011, saving and strengthening it (along with Ok State and TTU). OSU/WSU were opposed

* Oregon was in favor of adding Big-12 teams to the PAC in 2021 when several of those teams asked to join after Texas/OK announced they were moving to the SEC. That would have saved the PAC. OSU/WSU were opposed

* Oregon voted to accept ESPN's new media deal that would have saved the PAC. OSU/WSU were against accepting

* OSU/WSU, along with ASU & USC, were the principal cheerleaders and supporters of Larry Scott, every step of the way

fuck OSU/WSU. They were the primary members of the cabal of hubris and incompetence that was responsible for destroying the PAC-12. And now they are the whiny little shits dodging their own accountability while blaming their situation on everybody else
