They are renewing it after next year. I think it is good for both of them. They both get a non-conference team every year, where travel is limited. Beaver fans don't like it because they think they will get killed every year, but I am not sure that will be true in the future. If Bosie State can do it, so can the Beavs. Plus, the Beavs need to play non-conference games against top programs so they can get paid.
Just checked the rankings. Not sure how we can drop two spots when we pitched a shut out until we put in the 87th string and then they scored. If se had kept the starters in we would have had a shut out.
It makes no difference. If they lose to Penn State, they drop anyway, and if they beat Penn State, they jump back up into the top 4.
Maybe, but who cares how the AP votes? The first College Football Playoff (CFP) rankings for the 2025-26 season will be released on November 4th.
Maybe? Not taking #1 from Ohio State. Not sure they move past LSU either. Right now they need to beat the Beavers and get ready to play a tough game at Penn State. Remember Penn State has a Bi Week this week also.
100% ignorance. I didn't realize they didn't factor in. Or rather, I didn't know they weren't the only ranking that is used. I know little about NCAA rules in general in any sport. I didn't know the true rankings don't come out until later. Ive only been watching Oregon from the start of the season cor the last couple years now. Until then I would wait and see how they are doing and then jump on the wagon mid to late season. Lol Knowing this now, I'm positive I've likely misrepresented Oregons rAnking in the past when discussing it with individuals. Lol.
it's not good for Oregon. If they win big...no credit....if they struggle and win, they'll get punished; if they lose, it will derail a season but more than that, it's dumb fucking scheduling compared to their top-10 peers. In a 6 year period, Oregon will have 3 road games against a G6 program. In the same 6 year period, Ohio State, Michigan, Alabama, Georgia, Miami & Clemson will play exactly 0 road games at G6 schools. Those athletic departments aren't dumb enough to schedule those games or have any home-and-home series with a G6 school
I love the Beavs, but the Ducks could beat them easily using only their second and third string players.
Did they get punished last year when they struggled against Idaho? They were #1 in the country by late October. As long as they are a top 4 team in the Big 10, they are more than likely getting into the playoffs. It might not be ideal playing oSU every year, but it's not going to hurt them. I think it is worth it to keep the rivalry going.
