40 year Duck fan here. Win or lose I'm so proud of this team. I previously had thought that Belotti was my favorite Duck coach, but Mr. Lanning has totally won me over. His passion for leading this team is #1 in my book. Win or lose, thank you so much U of O for providing us excellent entertainment all year. Go Ducks!
Absolute respect for the people of Ohio, tOSU as an institution and program. Here’s to a great game! ….however, the tears of your bandwagoner fans are even more scrumptious than Oklahoma’s 😂 Praying for more …
Thanks for being a respectful OSU fan. Should be a great game... From all the sports pages I've been too. Sec fans in general are very toxic and ignorant 😊
OSU is a storied program with great fans. That being said, I believe Oregon has the better team and we have Burch back for this game having missed the previous game against the Buckeyes. Gabiel is the better qb, we have a better O and D line and Tez Johnson will be a difference maker. 42-28 Ducks!!
I went to Eugene for the regular season game. My first time in Oregon. Amazing landscape and beauty! Loved Autzen Stadium and the city. Can't wait for the Rose Bowl. Go Bucks!
I'm just happy for all the duck fans that have been waiting for a replay....they said we were lucky to win at home by a point. Time to put an exclamation point on it!
@ronikan and they won't call a bs opi either. So what are you actually saying? Lol. They didn't spot us anything. If you're talking about the catch that wasn't a catch it wasn't even in the end zone. So...
I'm a Buckeyes fan but yeah, I see no benefit to being the 1 seed at all, especially when you compare it to Penn State's ridiculously easy path to the semi-finals. Leave it to xichigans scUMag AD Ward M to screw it all up, because he was in charge of those screwy brackets. I want to beat the Ducks but win or lose, the brackets are a travesty & the undefeated 1 seed got screwed, & I don't like it.
Buckeye here. And agree. Ducks got screwed. Warde did it to screw us both. But whatevs cuz this is the matchup we all want if we’re honest. If you love the sport and your team, you want this!!
All this talk of pressure and Ohio St wanting revenge and being confident is the outside noise that Lanning talks about ignoring. FEBU. Just play hard and win!
No reason to feel nervous about this game. Sure, Oregon can lose this game but nobody felt that they could lose at Wisconsin and they almost did. Every game is different and Dan will have the kids ready to go for this one after being off for almost a month. They are rested, they have prepaired. Also, we have Dillon who is laser focused and can drive the truck. I will be a good game. IF Oregon can be better in the red zone and come away with TD's instead of turnover on downs, they can win this by at least 10 points. All the pressure is on the Buckeyes. Oregon already accomplished a BIG10 title. Their season is already a success. IF Ohio State loses, they go home without a bowl win, without the BIG10 and losing to Oregon twice and Michigan. Their season would be a failure because they did not meet any of their goals. Oregon has already met three of their goals. They won the BIG10, they beat Washington and they went undefeated. If they don't win the natty, they had a good successful season their first year in the BIG10. All the pressure is on the Bucks.
I'm anxious to watch the game, not nervous. Dan Lanning will have Oregon more than prepared for the Rose Bowl. I believe Burch will have a huge impact, and I see Traeshon Holden having a monster game to make up for that terrible incident at Autzen. Can you imagine how nervous Denzel Burke is about this game?! 😂
Buckeye Nation here. Oregon did get bent on how the brackets broke for them, but it is what it is. It should be a great game. Dude made a great point about Special Teams, that's usually an Achilles Heel for Ohio State under Day. That might cost us the game.
Here's another thought OR defense gave up 985 yards to OSU and PSU. Lanning better figure out how to get 12 men on the field again, just to stay close. OSU 42 - OR 27
Ohio State ONLY LOST BY ONE POINT on Oregon's home field and now on a neutral field they're going to win by a blow out??? And NOW Ohio State has the highest rated defense in the country. That has not given up a TD pass since October when they played Oregon the first time
@@Jleed989umm as a Bucks fan, Oregon is the hottest team with arguably the best coach and they sure have the best qb in my opinion followed by OSU. What is the reasoning for N.D. being the hottest team? Beating Indy? What was there best signature win this season? Did they play anyone in the top 10 or 20?
We are not the best audience to say "It's not easy to beat the same team twice in one season", which immediately makes me think of when Oregon played Washington twice last year and Utah twice in 2021. Both times Oregon lost in nearly identical scores in each pair of games. Oregon wins this game by 1 point 34-33. This should be the National Title Game. Notre Dame might be up there as well, I need to see it to believe it.
Everybody talks about the field goal that could have won the game for Ohio State, but watching replays of the game indicates Oregon left more points on the table than the Buckeyes, not to mention the bad call on the opening possession that should have been an interception.
@@FarminwithBlakezero faith in our kicker! Not sure why we did not try for one in the portal. He kicked 3 straight outta bounds in an earlier game followed by 2 in the mich game from around 35 yards. If its 4th down and short and the field goal is plus 40 yards I doubt Day will try and just go for it.
Not a fan of the backhanded comments about how much Oregon 'paid' for their team without even mentioning the cost of the OSU roster. Also, not a fan of the constant 'what if' around the first meeting. What if they called that pick on the first scoring drive? What if Oregon didn't muff that extra point? Would Oregon have gone for 2 and missed that? Oregon won, they deserved to win and they should have won by 10 not by 1.
LIAR.....what about the onside kick that bounced back to the kickoff team instead of going in one of the other 3 directions? What about the horrible Offensive Pass Interference call on LJ Smith on the last drive of the game? After the bad call on the first drive WHY couldn't Oregon stop Ohio State from Ohio State from scoring a TD? Their D wasn't good enough
@taxisquad11 The PI was legit, your best argument would have to be inconsistent calling of the PI if you feel that has support. Not stopping them on future scoring drives in no way offsets the 7 free points they received on that drive and IMO, the onside kick was intentional, but they were extremely lucky to pull it off. No outcome of this game will be shocking, but the glazing of OSU is out of control, and the UO disrespect is constant even when it's done subtly. No lies detected. OSU has a more expensive roster loaded with tons of first rounders who returned for a natty and a laundry list of excuses. If they don't win it all, get ready to hear them all.
@taxisquad11 Also, the point of my original comments was to say this: - If you mention the cost of 1 roster but not the other, it's intentional bias. - If you play 'what if' but only as far as it favors 1 team, it's intentional bias. I think you can just as easily make the argument for a 10 point duck win as you could a 2 point Buckeye win, and the result was somewhere in between. It's disrespectful of a team to discount a win with that kind of lopsided analysis.
@@MobyNickmtg IGNORAMUS. EVERYONE in the country says Ohio State spent more than anyone to "buy" a team. NO ONE knows about Oregon spent because they're way out on the left coast where no one wants to go
@@MobyNickmtg There is ZERO proof of any other result in ANY game. The final score IS the FINAL score. All you have are "what Ifs". Mine were only made as a counter to yours. To show their lack of football intellect. IF you had never said Oregon should have won by 10. There would have been no need for me to show the errors of your ways.
Recency bias is out of control with the media. Howard was TERRIBLE against Michigan who has a much better d line than Tennessee. I love how everyone just forgets about that game. This game will be won on the line of scrimmage. With Burch back and Oregon having WAY better corners I’ll take the ducks with the defense getting a key turnover late.
Oregon's corners are midgets, compared to Ohio State's WRs. Smith 6-3 225, 6-4 Carnell Tate and 6-2 Emeka Egbuka, all first round draft choices when eligible. Draft experts say Smith would be the #1 player selected THIS year after his freshman year!
I am looking forward to this game! OSU was probably the best opponent Oregon faced this year. They say beating a team twice is hard, not impossible and I can't wait to see what changes on both teams come up with. Will it make a difference with the crowd at the Rose bowl? Obviously it was huge for the first matchup and will a more nuetral crowd have any effect on either team? I thought the first matchup when I saw Oregon on the schedule was a 50/50 game with the obvious advantage to Oregon at home. What have both teams learned and adjusted to since? To me this is the 2 best teams in and hope for a great game like the first. One other thing, I am so glad Oregon joined the Big 10! Great program with a top notch coach and are killing it in recruiting! With there addition and poss USC there will be better competition and maybe the days of the sec is just better will be something the big 10 can say were more than just the big 2 and little 8!
This game should be the Natty!! Old school Rose Bowl is not bad either!! I went to Eugene for the regular season game and it was an incredible game and atmosphere. As a Buckeyes fan, the culture the Ducks have is pretty awesome. Can't wait to see this this rematch!! Bucks defense should be much better this time around.. O line looked good against a above average D line in Tennessee. Respect to the Ducks!! GO BIG 1G DOWN WITH THE SEC!!!!
I’m not sure how well Will Howard does under mental pressure. Going into the Michigan game, there wasn’t much tons of pressure, and it showed. After losing to Michigan, I think it relieved the pressure, going into the Tennessee game, and it showed! The question I would have to ask, is, because he has already lost to Oregon once, is the pressure back?
IGNORAMUS, Howard had a massive amount of pressure in the Tenn game. There is ALWAYS a TON of pressure in the rivalry game. Oregon is undefeated, the pressure is on them
As luminaries of this great sport given your expertise as quarterbacks, wide receivers, safety and punter, would you say that the possibility of a rematch with Penn State is more likely instead of Georgia playing with a backup? I don't see any parallels between them and Ohio State when they beat us in the National Championship with a third string quarterback in St. Marcus' last year. Not that I would remember or anything.
This should be the national title game. They have to eliminate conference champs getting auto byes; Boise and AZ State don't deserve them as they are not top 4 teams. Just seed the teams 1-12 and give the real top 4 teams the byes. Also, its crazy that PSU has a far easier path than Oregon.
Can people stop saying motivation, it’s stupid these are all 1 game playoffs comes down to execution turnovers and who wins the line of scrimmage… Oregon last game against osu gave up no sacks that’s gonna be a tough act to follow.. motivation so silly, Penn state got best bracket 100%
Anthony, Anthony, Anthony! I believe that this Oregon Football Team was (is) just sitting around waiting for the Rosebowl game. 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆-Even so, another 5 Duck program. Aaron, Aaron, Aaron,! If the Ducks went 10 & 2, they would be in the same boat as Georgia Bulldogs? I would rather win out 16-0, but not so bad that way either.
Looking how the committee completely gave Texas a clear path to a (home) semifinal game after gifting them the 5th seed against the worst team in the playoff and then the weakest auto top 4 seed is just stupid in my eyes. How people are not calling out Texas, the fact they beat (LITERALLY) not a single ranked opponent all season long, lost their only actual matchups and still... STILL were gifted such a path is beyond me. If any team in this playoff deserves scrutiny, it is Texas and nobody is talking about their path. Much like the other side where UGA was basically gifted a home game for their semifinal game. The SEC bias in ESPN and their impact upon the committee cannot be understated.
Two players that can make a difference…Jordan Burch and Traeshon Holden. Both missed (most of anyway in Holden’s case) the first game. A question for Thursdays show is how you think they make a difference in the Rose Bowl? Oregon is a better team when they are on the field.
No way Fentress picks the Ducks! Not sure who’ll win this game but I’m 100% sure he’ll pick OSU! The fact that Vegas thinks the buckeyes are the favorites is all the motivation the Ducks need to go out and crush them. They go undefeated, beat OSU and win The conference title and STILL are disrespected!
I perceive the essential differentiator between these two is the spirit of their brotherhood. My observations are that Ohio State has more friction on their team.
@@generalchrome I concur. From media anecdotes and interviews with the team, this seems like the closest OSU team since the '14 national championship team.
Oregon should win it all by them knowing how to win in close games and also having a 6th year player playing quarterback who should be playing in the nfl makes Oregon the favorites
@@shemereali551 LIAR....there is no such thing as "top 5 player in the nation" AND if he "was", that only means he's less now. LOL It is a FACT that Ohio State's QB is NOW rated #3 in the country. In the ONLY rating system there is for college QBs. You post is lacking in football intellect PERIOD
After seeing Oregon struggle again the Idaho teams, I think we all felt Oregon this year was still just "Oregon" from yesteryear. So fantastic progress! With Ohio State's CB Igbinosun in particular, I think we are all curious about how Traeshon Holden can respond to that pressure, grabbing and general annoyance he brings to every game. (Great player though, to get inside someone's head like that to get them to spit on you...)
Not sure how Oregon is #1 and an underdog on a neutral field against #6 ? -- Explain that to me. --- A 1 pt loss in a hostile environment and OSU had 2 turnovers ! A game OSU thinks they should have won ? It's a crazy bracket and unfair as it is. Yet both teams are stuck with it !
This is the rematch OSU cried for. Ohio State will NOT get past UO and Penn State will Not get past Notre Dame. UO Ducks will become National Champion by defeating Notre Dame! GO DUCKS! 🦆
@@lappy0749 In the opinion of every college Official that saw the play they say it was not Offensive Pass Interference. It was a midget CBr defending a 6-3 225 WR and he flopped. The vast majority of the whining was Oregon on a bad call on a INT by Oregon. My question is, why couldn't Oregon stop Ohio State from a 40 yard TD drive after that call?? The only answer I can come up with is, they're not good enough.
@taxisquad11 Don't make me laugh! OSU couldn't even beat Michigan this year AT your home field in Columbus! LOL! UO crushed Michigan this year, so don't even try and tell me which team isn't good enough! You're going DOWN son!!
I remember Nebraska losing alot of championship games and they finally won it back to back. Oregon will win one i believe in that Is it this year only time will tell. Im so proud of this year's ducks and the coaches. One thing about it l hope we never get like Ohio State fan base so disrespectful.
@WillSmith-gv1ok I'm a buckeye fan and have a lot of respect. I feel the players do to as well. You guys beat us the first game, we understand what type of game this is .
And the winner of the game likely gets Texas in Dallas. That seems wrong.If it is Oregon, it will be 80/20 Texas to Oregon fans. Ohio State would do better, but it would stil be a home game for Texas.
Thats some B.s. no way should they basically get a home game if they advance. Just like I know Oregons coach will never say they got a raw deal, but how does Penn State get that draw and Oregon and for that fact OSU get what most believe the hardest path? I get why OSU is where they are with the debacle at home but Oregon did not get any favors. I also think of it this way, whomever wins this game and if they go on to win it all there can be zero dispute about winning the Natty. Looking forward to the game!
I'm a buckeye fan but I respect Oregon they're undefeated add the beat Ohio State Michigan Wisconsin beat Penn State undefeated can the reward for that is they have to play Ohio State their first game go Bucks but if you guys win I won't be mad because you guys are a great team too
Last year we groused about our New Year's bowl match-up because it was "too easy." Even so, coach had the guys ready and after a rusty first three minutes or so they reacted and burned the place down. I fully expect the Buckeyes to score first, but after that, watch out!
7% chance to win it all?!! That is absolutely disrespectful! That's making them an underdog in every game! That's absurd! 7%?!!! You realize there are only 8 teams left in the playoff?!!! So Oregon is the least likely of all 8, by a lot????
That is because you're a know nothing nobody. The betting experts are saying this. This is based on Oregon's most difficult path. A dunce like you would not understand
Then who won the SEC were you ever impressed by so you’re not impressed by anybody but maybe Oregon right? 😂😂 yeah this is the logic they are using to find a win.
@ everyone knew TN was outmatched going into this game and it became very evident right after it started. Tn receivers were not good and had a bad habit of dropping passes. Nico consistently overthrows balls and did here. As soon as Simpson and White went out there was no chance for the vols. So yes OSU did what they should have done and curb stomped them. But that doesn’t mean they are the 2nd coming of Christ. They are just as getable as anyone else.
In the culture than Dan Lanning has instilled in Eugene, there are zero complaints and zero excuses. They do NOT complain. They would never tell you this, because it would look like an excuse, but I will say it. In the Penn State game, the entire team, including the coaching staff had the flu. I think we will see an Oregon Defense that is going to harass Will Howard for 4 quarters. There won’t be rest rust! If they had a whole off season to sit, maybe, but not a month. It’s a bond that is formed between coaches and players. They don’t have to re-establish that bond! It’s still there.
LIAR.....all the refs did miss the Interception. Oregon's defense wasn't good enough to stop Ohio State from scoring, the 40 yards AFTER the missed call. IGNORANT WHINING DUCK
They didn't mess up. This is by design to give UGA the easiest path to the NC game and whoever comes out of OSU ore still having to go through SEC second best team. Its a feature, not a bug. This is basically north south divisions with the second best south division team in yhe north division and the south division with a single good team.
OSU coaches out schemed tenn with superior talent. Burke was a liability and I don’t know how this gets solved unless OSU gives up on run defense. OSU special teams is bad. Cost them 6 points and Michigan loss. If wil smith makes the passes in tenn game and no interceptions and no other turnovers OSU can win. New OSU ol line held up in tenn game but is not proven with one game. I say this game comes down to which side has the best coaching and finding the weaknesses to exploit as the game evolves.
IGNORAMUS, do the required research and READ what and how the seeding works. You have embarrassed yourself, being the only one who doesn't get it. What are you a soccer fan?
HEY MEDIA: instead of talking about how vulnerable they are ask about what they need to do to get better! Good lord how much do you guys take the easy route out
Oregon, "with no weakness" only beat Ohio State by ONE POINT on their home field...BEFORE Ohio State had the #1 defense in the country. The Ohio State defense has not allowed a passing TD since the Oregon game in October
In the first matchup Ohio State got a free TD on the 1st drive . Plus Oregon has a failed 2pt conversion they missed and missed 2 fgs. Oregon could have easily won 15 had they made those attempts. Ohio State didn't have a chance of winning by more than 3.
@@davefransen5096 LIAR.....Ohio State didn't get a penalty called on them, THEN they drove the next 40 yards for the Td. Oregon weren't good enough to stop them after the penalty. Then Oregon got very lucky on the onside kick when the ball came directly back to them after it hii the up man on the kick off receiving team. It could have bounced either of the other 3 directions and been unrecoverable by Oregon. There was a terrible call against JJ Smith on the last drive. That has been unanimously determined all college officials who viewed it, was not a penalty. The problem was a 5-10 189 DB had no chance against the 6-3 225 Smith and flopped. Typical BS by an Oregon fan. Try harder not to LIE
I agree. Tennessee was overrated. What was their best win? OSU should have rolled them. The Ducks would have rolled them too. OSU looked good playing a mediocre team. Ducks looked awesome playing the mediocre Huskies this year. I like Oregon by 6 in the Rose bowl.
Looking forward to the best game I believe in this playoff. But its easy to say now Tennessee sucks but before that find one media or supposed college football person say OSU would win that game? Most said that no way they could handle the sec speed and there defense was one if not the best in the country and picked Tennesse to win and some said easily.
The way the whole college football playoff was set up was to satisfy the conferences. No logic to it except two things 1) make lots of money and 2) satisfy the conferences so that they sign off on the 12 team format. All the conferences wanted to make sure their guys got into the playoffs. No matter how good and qualified they might be. In reality there's probably only four teams that should be in the college football playoffs. One of those was probably Ohio State and another one was Oregon. Add in Georgia and Texas. This format is really bad because everybody believes it should have done by strictly rankings including strength of schedule. Do we really think the college conferences are going to get out of the way? Will the Big ten and the SEC except a playoff done purely on final rankings which should have strength of schedule as an element? If you can show them the money then they might, otherwise no dice.
I think Tennessee is comparable to The Washington Huskies. Look at Ohio State against Tennessee and Oregon against Washington for comparison. The biggest difference, to me, is that there are 2 different Ohio State teams, and you never know which one you’ll get. There is only one Oregon team. They are consistently the same. I think this is because of their leader (QB) Will Howard isn’t the leader that Dillon Gabriel is. A team takes on the personality of its leader. When Howard is feeling good, the team is feeling good. When he isn’t, obviously the team isn’t.
I think the hosts missed a few key points. The ducks nearly blew out Ohio State in the first half of game one. Probably would have if Lanning calls a time out and they get the turnover that wasn't called in the first half. If the ducks execute on offense, Ohio State will not be able to stop them scoring. Then the Ducks need a couple of 3rd down stops and maybe a turnover. Also, need to sack the quarterback. Do those things and Ducks win by two scores.
IGNORAMUS, football is a game of TWO halves. LIAR after not getting the INT, why in the hell couldn't the Oregon Defense stop Ohio State from going the 40 yards for a TD?? IF Ohio State executes like they did against Tenn, they're in trouble. After being up 21-0 in the first quarter they could have won by 60
Wow, it's a crazy juxtaposition going from two weeks of listening to a bunch of hicks' bellicose predictions to engaging with an opponent whose pundits are clearly educated and capable of completing a full sentence.
AND OHIO STATE IS WATCHING VIDEO OJ HOW PENN STATE OUT PLAYED OREGON BIG TIME THE SECOND HALF AND THAT WAS OREGON'S MOST RECENT GAME. ALSO ANOTHER GAME AT YEAR END WAS WISCONSIN AND OREGON ALMOST LOST AND THE BUCKEYES NOW SEE THEIR 3 MAJOR WEAKNESSES AND HOW TO DEFEAT THEIR STRENGTH. BY THE WAY ALL THE SEC PODCASTS THROUGH OUT THE SOUTH SAID THAT TENNESSEE WILL UPSET OHIO STATE BASING IT ON THEIR POOR SHOW AGAINST MICHIGAN.
Just saw your podcast for first time by accident but will not watch again. I prefer to watch straight talk commentators not prejudice for the hometown team. One Ohio State goal was to win Big Ten that didn't happen because Coach Day game plan was to play not to lose and let the defense win it. Well a solid all year field goal kicker missed two inside 30 some field goals that as bas as the coach game plan was they would have won. Ohio State will not be playing on Oregon's terms this time nor a referee that made a game call at a critical time as time was running out that would have put Ohio State at the least in position to win on a 20 something yard field goal. this is telling it straight, so now you know what that is. GO BUCKS.
Hey Arron' ....... i see you are being Arron Fenton again.... And so, who did you vote for Heisman this year ???? Don't tell duck nation you voted for the Colorado kid.
Those fans have always been wanting to fire Day since his first loss to mich. Every team has thay small base who expect no losses, beat your rival and win a natty every year regardless. Those are the message board crazies I like to call them. I know alot of friend and other fans in Columbus and most are not those fire the coach when something goes wrong people. Outside folks get caught up in what national media folks say just like them ragging on the home crowd. Don't believe everything the media puts out there.
So sick of playing Ohio State. Is that the only team left in the Big 10???? May as well not even watch this game. Oregon should have been drawn a different team. This sucks!!!!!
I would like Aaron Fentress to take a short class in Bayesian reasoning. 11-1 is only evidence of a quality football team if the 11 wins are themselves quality wins. He noted this in calling out Oklahoma but ignored it when referencing Indiana. You are not your record in college football because of the lack of balance. There are three primary dimensions to weigh a team by and only two are commonly discussed. Along with the "Jimmys and Joes" and "Xs and Os" there is "Consistency". Teams that struggle with consistency have performances that fluctuate all over the place and that is what eliminated Alabama and Ole Miss. Even Oregon struggled with consistency this year but managed to still get all their wins. Indiana scores off the charts in Consistency and Xs and Os but they did not have the players to match up against top tier teams.
@@jimsomerville3924 Recruiting rankings ARE figured into the playoffs. That's why Liberty finished the 2023 season ranked #25 with a 13-1 record. You might not like it but recruiting rankings have always mattered and if they didn't we would have ridiculous results.
Keep talllking... pay back is coming.. not at home this time.. no cheap rigged offensive interferance call at the end this time... ohio state this time!!! 38 to 28 bucks
OSU fan here. I’m loving the overconfidence you Duckee’s are exhibiting. Makes it much more fun when the Bucks win. The overconfidence created by a 1 point win , at your place seems a little far fetched 😮. This game could go much like the national championship game when the Bucks pushed the Ducks around.
By the way Oregon is more than capable of winning this game against the buckeyes. I would actually favor them in this second matchup not what I want, but it is what it is. I just think it’s sad they’re emblematic of the new age of college football buy what you want and compete… yes I know Ohio State is buying players too.
If you dont give ohio state a free TD on the 1st drive and Oregon is successful on the 2 point conversion then its a 10 point Ducks win not a 1 point win
40 year Duck fan here. Win or lose I'm so proud of this team. I previously had thought that Belotti was my favorite Duck coach, but Mr. Lanning has totally won me over.

Every game is different and Dan will have the kids ready to go for this one after being off for almost a month. They are rested, they have prepaired. Also, we have Dillon who is laser focused and can drive the truck. I will be a good game. IF Oregon can be better in the red zone and come away with TD's instead of turnover on downs, they can win this by at least 10 points. All the pressure is on the Buckeyes. Oregon already accomplished a BIG10 title. Their season is already a success. IF Ohio State loses, they go home without a bowl win, without the BIG10 and losing to Oregon twice and Michigan. Their season would be a failure because they did not meet any of their goals. Oregon has already met three of their goals. They won the BIG10, they beat Washington and they went undefeated. If they don't win the natty, they had a good successful season their first year in the BIG10. All the pressure is on the Bucks.
They are this close to a national championship. Anything less will be heartbreaking. Admit it
@Jleed989 not for me. This is about the long game. Stacking top 5 classes one on top of another. They have been much closer than this in the past.
@@Jleed989it would be for me I’d rather have lost the big championship and took that route not winning a playoff game will be a failure
Good points!
I'm anxious to watch the game, not nervous. Dan Lanning will have Oregon more than prepared for the Rose Bowl. I believe Burch will have a huge impact, and I see Traeshon Holden having a monster game to make up for that terrible incident at Autzen. Can you imagine how nervous Denzel Burke is about this game?! 😂
Perfect motivation got the ducks!!!! How be grateful that Ohio State had been made a favorite, that is going to get the Ducks fired up.
It takes being an underdog by 2 points to get Oregon fired up?? LOLOLOLOL
Great episode, I like the fast paced content. Solid information.
Buckeye Nation here. Oregon did get bent on how the brackets broke for them, but it is what it is. It should be a great game. Dude made a great point about Special Teams, that's usually an Achilles Heel for Ohio State under Day. That might cost us the game.
LIAR this is the first year day has coached the special teams. AND the first time in 10 years they've run a kickoff back for a TD
Here’s a thought. Ohio State has to play Oregon. That is a tough draw. Good luck Ryan Day.
This is the correct framing right here.
Here's another thought OR defense gave up 985 yards to OSU and PSU. Lanning better figure out how to get 12 men on the field again, just to stay close. OSU 42 - OR 27
@armandopena2906 guess you never heard, bend but don't break. Yards don't matter, the score dose.
@@armandopena2906 How many yards did Ohio State and Penn State give up? What was the final score of those games?
25 year Mighty Ducks fan. Not nervous. Ducks win big.
Ohio State ONLY LOST BY ONE POINT on Oregon's home field and now on a neutral field they're going to win by a blow out??? And NOW Ohio State has the highest rated defense in the country. That has not given up a TD pass since October when they played Oregon the first time
😂😂😂
Might as well call this the National Championship game and save everyone the trouble of watching all the other games.
Notre dame is the hottest team out there
@@Jleed989 What does that even mean lol, we haven't lost, are we hot?
@@Jleed989umm as a Bucks fan, Oregon is the hottest team with arguably the best coach and they sure have the best qb in my opinion followed by OSU. What is the reasoning for N.D. being the hottest team? Beating Indy? What was there best signature win this season?
Did they play anyone in the top 10 or 20?
We love coach Lanning, he is the real deal. I would love to see an interview with his Mom and Dad, bet they got some stories😂, Go Duck's
Biggest game of the playoffs. Can't wait for this game
We are not the best audience to say "It's not easy to beat the same team twice in one season", which immediately makes me think of when Oregon played Washington twice last year and Utah twice in 2021. Both times Oregon lost in nearly identical scores in each pair of games. Oregon wins this game by 1 point 34-33. This should be the National Title Game. Notre Dame might be up there as well, I need to see it to believe it.
These two teams are the only teams with legit QB’s. It’s Oregon or Ohio State.
Tennessee QB is Red Shirt freshman going up against a more experienced defense.
🦆💪🏽🦆💪🏽🦆
Everybody talks about the field goal that could have won the game for Ohio State, but watching replays of the game indicates Oregon left more points on the table than the Buckeyes, not to mention the bad call on the opening possession that should have been an interception.
and what’s to say Ohio State would have made that field goal? Ryan Days kickers seem to struggle in big games
@@FarminwithBlakezero faith in our kicker! Not sure why we did not try for one in the portal. He kicked 3 straight outta bounds in an earlier game followed by 2 in the mich game from around 35 yards. If its 4th down and short and the field goal is plus 40 yards I doubt Day will try and just go for it.
LIAR.... you only watched that one play. After the bad call why couldn't Oregon stop Ohio State from scoring a TD?? They WERE NOT good enough
You can argue for other teams in the playoffs but this feels like a matchup between the two best. It’s gonna be a war.
Not a fan of the backhanded comments about how much Oregon 'paid' for their team without even mentioning the cost of the OSU roster. Also, not a fan of the constant 'what if' around the first meeting. What if they called that pick on the first scoring drive? What if Oregon didn't muff that extra point? Would Oregon have gone for 2 and missed that? Oregon won, they deserved to win and they should have won by 10 not by 1.
LIAR.....what about the onside kick that bounced back to the kickoff team instead of going in one of the other 3 directions? What about the horrible Offensive Pass Interference call on LJ Smith on the last drive of the game? After the bad call on the first drive WHY couldn't Oregon stop Ohio State from Ohio State from scoring a TD? Their D wasn't good enough
@taxisquad11 The PI was legit, your best argument would have to be inconsistent calling of the PI if you feel that has support. Not stopping them on future scoring drives in no way offsets the 7 free points they received on that drive and IMO, the onside kick was intentional, but they were extremely lucky to pull it off. No outcome of this game will be shocking, but the glazing of OSU is out of control, and the UO disrespect is constant even when it's done subtly. No lies detected. OSU has a more expensive roster loaded with tons of first rounders who returned for a natty and a laundry list of excuses. If they don't win it all, get ready to hear them all.
@taxisquad11 Also, the point of my original comments was to say this:
- If you mention the cost of 1 roster but not the other, it's intentional bias.
- If you play 'what if' but only as far as it favors 1 team, it's intentional bias.
I think you can just as easily make the argument for a 10 point duck win as you could a 2 point Buckeye win, and the result was somewhere in between. It's disrespectful of a team to discount a win with that kind of lopsided analysis.
@@MobyNickmtg IGNORAMUS. EVERYONE in the country says Ohio State spent more than anyone to "buy" a team. NO ONE knows about Oregon spent because they're way out on the left coast where no one wants to go
@@MobyNickmtg There is ZERO proof of any other result in ANY game. The final score IS the FINAL score. All you have are "what Ifs". Mine were only made as a counter to yours. To show their lack of football intellect. IF you had never said Oregon should have won by 10. There would have been no need for me to show the errors of your ways.
Go Ducks!
Have to push back a little. Oregon barely beat Ohio st while missing multiple field goals and having a interception not called by refs
wow, then we really did win!
Why couldn't Oregon stop Ohio State from scoring a TD after the bad call??
Recency bias is out of control with the media. Howard was TERRIBLE against Michigan who has a much better d line than Tennessee. I love how everyone just forgets about that game. This game will be won on the line of scrimmage. With Burch back and Oregon having WAY better corners I’ll take the ducks with the defense getting a key turnover late.
Lolol clown ducks
Smith's size against smaller Ducks DBs gives me flashbacks to Odunze last year though.
Oregon's corners are midgets, compared to Ohio State's WRs. Smith 6-3 225, 6-4 Carnell Tate and 6-2 Emeka Egbuka, all first round draft choices when eligible. Draft experts say Smith would be the #1 player selected THIS year after his freshman year!
I am looking forward to this game! OSU was probably the best opponent Oregon faced this year. They say beating a team twice is hard, not impossible and I can't wait to see what changes on both teams come up with. Will it make a difference with the crowd at the Rose bowl? Obviously it was huge for the first matchup and will a more nuetral crowd have any effect on either team? I thought the first matchup when I saw Oregon on the schedule was a 50/50 game with the obvious advantage to Oregon at home. What have both teams learned and adjusted to since? To me this is the 2 best teams in and hope for a great game like the first.
One other thing, I am so glad Oregon joined the Big 10! Great program with a top notch coach and are killing it in recruiting! With there addition and poss USC there will be better competition and maybe the days of the sec is just better will be something the big 10 can say were more than just the big 2 and little 8!
Aaron has finally won me over. Where can I get the little statue of him to place on my mantle?
about time! I love Aaron!
Georgia QB Beck (elbow surgery) done for season
And here I was hoping it was the first Aaron Fentress Show.
Egh, puke..
This game should be the Natty!! Old school Rose Bowl is not bad either!! I went to Eugene for the regular season game and it was an incredible game and atmosphere. As a Buckeyes fan, the culture the Ducks have is pretty awesome. Can't wait to see this this rematch!! Bucks defense should be much better this time around.. O line looked good against a above average D line in Tennessee. Respect to the Ducks!! GO BIG 1G DOWN WITH THE SEC!!!!
I’m not sure how well Will Howard does under mental pressure. Going into the Michigan game, there wasn’t much tons of pressure, and it showed. After losing to Michigan, I think it relieved the pressure, going into the Tennessee game, and it showed! The question I would have to ask, is, because he has already lost to Oregon once, is the pressure back?
IGNORAMUS, Howard had a massive amount of pressure in the Tenn game. There is ALWAYS a TON of pressure in the rivalry game. Oregon is undefeated, the pressure is on them
As luminaries of this great sport given your expertise as quarterbacks, wide receivers, safety and punter, would you say that the possibility of a rematch with Penn State is more likely instead of Georgia playing with a backup? I don't see any parallels between them and Ohio State when they beat us in the National Championship with a third string quarterback in St. Marcus' last year. Not that I would remember or anything.
Jordan Birch will be the difference
I hope so. I know he's pumped for it
never heard of him
Win or lose it's been a great season! I think next year will be a step back but the progrum has never looked better
This should be the national title game. They have to eliminate conference champs getting auto byes; Boise and AZ State don't deserve them as they are not top 4 teams. Just seed the teams 1-12 and give the real top 4 teams the byes. Also, its crazy that PSU has a far easier path than Oregon.
Can people stop saying motivation, it’s stupid these are all 1 game playoffs comes down to execution turnovers and who wins the line of scrimmage… Oregon last game against osu gave up no sacks that’s gonna be a tough act to follow.. motivation so silly, Penn state got best bracket 100%
Anthony, Anthony, Anthony! I believe that this Oregon Football Team was (is) just sitting around waiting for the Rosebowl game.
🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆-Even so, another 5 Duck program. Aaron, Aaron, Aaron,! If the Ducks went 10 & 2, they would be in the same boat as Georgia Bulldogs? I would rather win out 16-0, but not so bad that way either.
Looking how the committee completely gave Texas a clear path to a (home) semifinal game after gifting them the 5th seed against the worst team in the playoff and then the weakest auto top 4 seed is just stupid in my eyes. How people are not calling out Texas, the fact they beat (LITERALLY) not a single ranked opponent all season long, lost their only actual matchups and still... STILL were gifted such a path is beyond me. If any team in this playoff deserves scrutiny, it is Texas and nobody is talking about their path. Much like the other side where UGA was basically gifted a home game for their semifinal game. The SEC bias in ESPN and their impact upon the committee cannot be understated.
Two players that can make a difference…Jordan Burch and Traeshon Holden. Both missed (most of anyway in Holden’s case) the first game. A question for Thursdays show is how you think they make a difference in the Rose Bowl? Oregon is a better team when they are on the field.
Never heard of them
No way Fentress picks the Ducks! Not sure who’ll win this game but I’m 100% sure he’ll pick OSU! The fact that Vegas thinks the buckeyes are the favorites is all the motivation the Ducks need to go out and crush them. They go undefeated, beat OSU and win The conference title and STILL are disrespected!
I perceive the essential differentiator between these two is the spirit of their brotherhood. My observations are that Ohio State has more friction on their team.
lol what? This Buckeye team might be the closest I’ve seen in my life, and I’m 44 years old.
OSU is all about the brotherhood.
@@generalchrome I concur. From media anecdotes and interviews with the team, this seems like the closest OSU team since the '14 national championship team.
LIAR, you are ignorant
Oregon should win it all by them knowing how to win in close games and also having a 6th year player playing quarterback who should be playing in the nfl makes Oregon the favorites
Ohio State has a 5th year Senior at QB. The #3 rated QB in the country, ahead of Oregon's QB
@taxisquad11 Well Gabriel was in the top 5 football player in the nation ohio state quarterback can't say that point blank period
@@shemereali551 LIAR....there is no such thing as "top 5 player in the nation" AND if he "was", that only means he's less now. LOL It is a FACT that Ohio State's QB is NOW rated #3 in the country. In the ONLY rating system there is for college QBs. You post is lacking in football intellect PERIOD
After seeing Oregon struggle again the Idaho teams, I think we all felt Oregon this year was still just "Oregon" from yesteryear. So fantastic progress!
With Ohio State's CB Igbinosun in particular, I think we are all curious about how Traeshon Holden can respond to that pressure, grabbing and general annoyance he brings to every game.
(Great player though, to get inside someone's head like that to get them to spit on you...)
Not sure how Oregon is #1 and an underdog on a neutral field against #6 ? -- Explain that to me. --- A 1 pt loss in a hostile environment and OSU had 2 turnovers ! A game OSU thinks they should have won ? It's a crazy bracket and unfair as it is. Yet both teams are stuck with it !
This is the rematch OSU cried for. Ohio State will NOT get past UO and Penn State will Not get past Notre Dame. UO Ducks will become National Champion by defeating Notre Dame! GO DUCKS! 🦆
LIAR....no one cried for anything. THIS is the rematch that Oregon did not want to see
@taxisquad11 oh, you're right. My bad. Ohio State was actually crying because the refs cheated them out of a win over UO.
@@lappy0749 In the opinion of every college Official that saw the play they say it was not Offensive Pass Interference. It was a midget CBr defending a 6-3 225 WR and he flopped. The vast majority of the whining was Oregon on a bad call on a INT by Oregon. My question is, why couldn't Oregon stop Ohio State from a 40 yard TD drive after that call?? The only answer I can come up with is, they're not good enough.
@taxisquad11 Don't make me laugh! OSU couldn't even beat Michigan this year AT your home field in Columbus! LOL! UO crushed Michigan this year, so don't even try and tell me which team isn't good enough! You're going DOWN son!!
Hey Erin, how many times do you pull up UA-cam just to see yourself
Even after 1 round of playoffs, oregon has beatsn 3 teams remaining
I remember Nebraska losing alot of championship games and they finally won it back to back. Oregon will win one i believe in that Is it this year only time will tell. Im so proud of this year's ducks and the coaches. One thing about it l hope we never get like Ohio State fan base so disrespectful.
@WillSmith-gv1ok I'm a buckeye fan and have a lot of respect. I feel the players do to as well. You guys beat us the first game, we understand what type of game this is .
@briangamble9 I meant when Ryan Day has death threats to him and his family they have crossed the line.
And the winner of the game likely gets Texas in Dallas. That seems wrong.If it is Oregon, it will be 80/20 Texas to Oregon fans. Ohio State would do better, but it would stil be a home game for Texas.
Thats some B.s. no way should they basically get a home game if they advance. Just like I know Oregons coach will never say they got a raw deal, but how does Penn State get that draw and Oregon and for that fact OSU get what most believe the hardest path? I get why OSU is where they are with the debacle at home but Oregon did not get any favors. I also think of it this way, whomever wins this game and if they go on to win it all there can be zero dispute about winning the Natty. Looking forward to the game!
Ignoramus. Both teams get the same number of tickets Texas ONlY gets more fans in the seats if Oregon is too cheap to show up
I'm a buckeye fan but I respect Oregon they're undefeated add the beat Ohio State Michigan Wisconsin beat Penn State undefeated can the reward for that is they have to play Ohio State their first game go Bucks but if you guys win I won't be mad because you guys are a great team too
Last year we groused about our New Year's bowl match-up because it was "too easy." Even so, coach had the guys ready and after a rusty first three minutes or so they reacted and burned the place down. I fully expect the Buckeyes to score first, but after that, watch out!
7% chance to win it all?!! That is absolutely disrespectful! That's making them an underdog in every game! That's absurd! 7%?!!! You realize there are only 8 teams left in the playoff?!!! So Oregon is the least likely of all 8, by a lot????
That is because you're a know nothing nobody. The betting experts are saying this. This is based on Oregon's most difficult path. A dunce like you would not understand
You can look good when you’re 7ft playing basketball against a 4ft player.
Then who won the SEC were you ever impressed by so you’re not impressed by anybody but maybe Oregon right? 😂😂 yeah this is the logic they are using to find a win.
@ everyone knew TN was outmatched going into this game and it became very evident right after it started. Tn receivers were not good and had a bad habit of dropping passes. Nico consistently overthrows balls and did here. As soon as Simpson and White went out there was no chance for the vols. So yes OSU did what they should have done and curb stomped them. But that doesn’t mean they are the 2nd coming of Christ. They are just as getable as anyone else.
The most ignorant post in history

In the culture than Dan Lanning has instilled in Eugene, there are zero complaints and zero excuses. They do NOT complain. They would never tell you this, because it would look like an excuse, but I will say it. In the Penn State game, the entire team, including the coaching staff had the flu. I think we will see an Oregon Defense that is going to harass Will Howard for 4 quarters. There won’t be rest rust! If they had a whole off season to sit, maybe, but not a month. It’s a bond that is formed between coaches and players. They don’t have to re-establish that bond! It’s still there.
Jeeze, you sound worse than Michigan fans who claim they have the best culture in all of football. That turned into a 7-5 season
Fentress has grown on me.
All I know is that if OSU version we just saw shows up again we will beat anybody. I give that a 60% chance. I identify as an expert today 😉
Hopefully the refs don't gift Ohio St another TD in this matchup.
Bullshit
Ya like the int Oregon got on the first drive shitty refs didn't even review it embarrassing
LIAR.....all the refs did miss the Interception. Oregon's defense wasn't good enough to stop Ohio State from scoring, the 40 yards AFTER the missed call. IGNORANT WHINING DUCK
Why is there a 12 team field, wouldn't 8 make more sense. Big Ducks fan! Don't really understand football as a whole
For once i agree with AAron....😄
We all want to be right
They didn't mess up. This is by design to give UGA the easiest path to the NC game and whoever comes out of OSU ore still having to go through SEC second best team. Its a feature, not a bug. This is basically north south divisions with the second best south division team in yhe north division and the south division with a single good team.
OSU coaches out schemed tenn with superior talent. Burke was a liability and I don’t know how this gets solved unless OSU gives up on run defense. OSU special teams is bad. Cost them 6 points and Michigan loss. If wil smith makes the passes in tenn game and no interceptions and no other turnovers OSU can win. New OSU ol line held up in tenn game but is not proven with one game. I say this game comes down to which side has the best coaching and finding the weaknesses to exploit as the game evolves.

No one is saying Oregon has no weaknesses. All teams have one or more.
In the first matchup Ohio State got a free TD on the 1st drive . Plus Oregon has a failed 2pt conversion they missed and missed 2 fgs. Oregon could have easily won 15 had they made those attempts. Ohio State didn't have a chance of winning by more than 3.
@@davefransen5096 LIAR.....Ohio State didn't get a penalty called on them, THEN they drove the next 40 yards for the Td. Oregon weren't good enough to stop them after the penalty. Then Oregon got very lucky on the onside kick when the ball came directly back to them after it hii the up man on the kick off receiving team. It could have bounced either of the other 3 directions and been unrecoverable by Oregon. There was a terrible call against JJ Smith on the last drive. That has been unanimously determined all college officials who viewed it, was not a penalty. The problem was a 5-10 189 DB had no chance against the 6-3 225 Smith and flopped.

I agree. Tennessee was overrated. What was their best win? OSU should have rolled them. The Ducks would have rolled them too. OSU looked good playing a mediocre team. Ducks looked awesome playing the mediocre Huskies this year. I like Oregon by 6 in the Rose bowl.
Looking forward to the best game I believe in this playoff. But its easy to say now Tennessee sucks but before that find one media or supposed college football person say OSU would win that game? Most said that no way they could handle the sec speed and there defense was one if not the best in the country and picked Tennesse to win and some said easily.
The way the whole college football playoff was set up was to satisfy the conferences. No logic to it except two things 1) make lots of money and 2) satisfy the conferences so that they sign off on the 12 team format. All the conferences wanted to make sure their guys got into the playoffs. No matter how good and qualified they might be. In reality there's probably only four teams that should be in the college football playoffs. One of those was probably Ohio State and another one was Oregon. Add in Georgia and Texas. This format is really bad because everybody believes it should have done by strictly rankings including strength of schedule. Do we really think the college conferences are going to get out of the way? Will the Big ten and the SEC except a playoff done purely on final rankings which should have strength of schedule as an element? If you can show them the money then they might, otherwise no dice.
I think Tennessee is comparable to The Washington Huskies. Look at Ohio State against Tennessee and Oregon against Washington for comparison. The biggest difference, to me, is that there are 2 different Ohio State teams, and you never know which one you’ll get. There is only one Oregon team. They are consistently the same. I think this is because of their leader (QB) Will Howard isn’t the leader that Dillon Gabriel is. A team takes on the personality of its leader. When Howard is feeling good, the team is feeling good. When he isn’t, obviously the team isn’t.
One of the more ignorant posts in history
Chip Kelly is coming after bassa this time
Fentress sounds like a big Oregon hater these days...he wasn't singing the same tune when Mariota played..
No one has seen Lannings team yet!! No one
Oregon has ohio st twice in a row technically, different regime
This is a new regime for Oregon
I think the hosts missed a few key points. The ducks nearly blew out Ohio State in the first half of game one. Probably would have if Lanning calls a time out and they get the turnover that wasn't called in the first half. If the ducks execute on offense, Ohio State will not be able to stop them scoring. Then the Ducks need a couple of 3rd down stops and maybe a turnover. Also, need to sack the quarterback. Do those things and Ducks win by two scores.
IGNORAMUS, football is a game of TWO halves. LIAR after not getting the INT, why in the hell couldn't the Oregon Defense stop Ohio State from going the 40 yards for a TD?? IF Ohio State executes like they did against Tenn, they're in trouble. After being up 21-0 in the first quarter they could have won by 60
Wow, it's a crazy juxtaposition going from two weeks of listening to a bunch of hicks' bellicose predictions to engaging with an opponent whose pundits are clearly educated and capable of completing a full sentence.
AND OHIO STATE IS WATCHING VIDEO OJ HOW PENN STATE OUT PLAYED OREGON BIG TIME THE SECOND HALF AND THAT WAS OREGON'S MOST RECENT GAME. ALSO ANOTHER GAME AT YEAR END WAS WISCONSIN AND OREGON ALMOST LOST AND THE BUCKEYES NOW SEE THEIR 3 MAJOR WEAKNESSES AND HOW TO DEFEAT THEIR STRENGTH. BY THE WAY ALL THE SEC PODCASTS THROUGH OUT THE SOUTH SAID THAT TENNESSEE WILL UPSET OHIO STATE BASING IT ON THEIR POOR SHOW AGAINST MICHIGAN.
Just saw your podcast for first time by accident but will not watch again. I prefer to watch straight talk commentators not prejudice for the hometown team. One Ohio State goal was to win Big Ten that didn't happen because Coach Day game plan was to play not to lose and let the defense win it. Well a solid all year field goal kicker missed two inside 30 some field goals that as bas as the coach game plan was they would have won. Ohio State will not be playing on Oregon's terms this time nor a referee that made a game call at a critical time as time was running out that would have put Ohio State at the least in position to win on a 20 something yard field goal. this is telling it straight, so now you know what that is. GO BUCKS.
And yet OSU is Michigan's Bitchagain
They aren't prejudiced...the show is called "Talkin Ducks" for pete sake. They discuss the Ore duck football team.
Your guys got greedy. They could have kicked a field goal prior to all their fouls and chose not too. They lost!

Then Ohio State should have won the first match
No “but” sorry Aaron… realism isn’t for winners… teams who win want to fire their coach everyday
Those fans have always been wanting to fire Day since his first loss to mich. Every team has thay small base who expect no losses, beat your rival and win a natty every year regardless. Those are the message board crazies I like to call them. I know alot of friend and other fans in Columbus and most are not those fire the coach when something goes wrong people. Outside folks get caught up in what national media folks say just like them ragging on the home crowd. Don't believe everything the media puts out there.
You liar...we lost our tackle in the 1st half....and oregon defensive line not better the Tennessee
So sick of playing Ohio State. Is that the only team left in the Big 10???? May as well not even watch this game. Oregon should have been drawn a different team. This sucks!!!!!
You just want an easier opponent. Sorry
@Jleed989 dream on. Could care less about that. We already beat Ohio State. Would just be nice to play someone else. Win, lose or draw.
I would like Aaron Fentress to take a short class in Bayesian reasoning. 11-1 is only evidence of a quality football team if the 11 wins are themselves quality wins. He noted this in calling out Oklahoma but ignored it when referencing Indiana. You are not your record in college football because of the lack of balance.
There are three primary dimensions to weigh a team by and only two are commonly discussed. Along with the "Jimmys and Joes" and "Xs and Os" there is "Consistency". Teams that struggle with consistency have performances that fluctuate all over the place and that is what eliminated Alabama and Ole Miss. Even Oregon struggled with consistency this year but managed to still get all their wins. Indiana scores off the charts in Consistency and Xs and Os but they did not have the players to match up against top tier teams.
So we should factor recruiting rankings into playoffs now? If that was the case then neither UM or UW would have played for NC last season.
everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
@@jimsomerville3924 Recruiting rankings ARE figured into the playoffs. That's why Liberty finished the 2023 season ranked #25 with a 13-1 record. You might not like it but recruiting rankings have always mattered and if they didn't we would have ridiculous results.
There has NEVER been a Duck team that made it through the season without a loss. I'm still waiting for them to suck some where.

Keep talllking... pay back is coming.. not at home this time.. no cheap rigged offensive interferance call at the end this time... ohio state this time!!! 38 to 28 bucks
Merry Christmas David. You are insane
oh my goodness are you sad...
So no cheap free TD to start the game this time for Ohio State then.
OSU fan here. I’m loving the overconfidence you Duckee’s are exhibiting. Makes it much more fun when the Bucks win. The overconfidence created by a 1 point win , at your place seems a little far fetched 😮. This game could go much like the national championship game when the Bucks pushed the Ducks around.
By the way Oregon is more than capable of winning this game against the buckeyes. I would actually favor them in this second matchup not what I want, but it is what it is. I just think it’s sad they’re emblematic of the new age of college football buy what you want and compete… yes I know Ohio State is buying players too.
If you dont give ohio state a free TD on the 1st drive and Oregon is successful on the 2 point conversion then its a 10 point Ducks win not a 1 point win
Recency bias is all over you media guys.
some new buzz word you came up with? The show is Talkin Ducks, abt UofO football team.
