    The Civil War should definitely continue no matter what. Never even question it.

    Rankings don't really matter to me. Win enough to get to the playoffs and keep developing our young players. I believe in Lanning and what he is building. We will get there with him.

    Lanning's Bryce comments are cracking me up.

    the rivalry died when the Pac-12 died

    again, for a P4 team to schedule a home-&-home with a G6 team is dumb scheduling. No elite P4 team will schedule those games in the future. Ohio State hasn't done it and doesn't in the future; same for Michigan, Alabama, LSU, Georgia, Miami, Clemson

    the only one I can find is Penn St, playing at Temple in 2026, with Temple visiting in 2027. But it's only a 2-season series. There was a 10 year gap between the last time they played Temple and 2026

    **********************************************

    and you're absolutely wrong about the Ducks not being punished:

    *They were ranked 3rd when they played Idaho with 1403 points; they dropped to 7th after that game with 1197 points, losing 206 points.

    *After they squeaked by Boise St they dropped to 9th with 1077 points, losing another 120 points.

    * they then clobbered OSU by 35 points, in Corvallis, and remained at 9th with 1093 points. So they beat Idaho and Boise St. in 'close' game, lose 336 points and drop from 3rd to 9th in the poll. They crush OSU and only gain 16 points in the polls

    * the next week, the Ducks travel to another FBS school, UCLA, beat them 34-13, gain 123 points and move from 9th to 6th in the ranking. In other words, the Ducks actually got credit for beating a P4 team. And even though they were 3-0 against Idaho-Boise St-OSU, they got dinged

    there is no upside in a home & home series with the beavers, only downside

    I agree. I think it's really important to get big leads so the backups get a chance to develop with real game experience. It seems to me the opportunity for playing time could also be a good selling point to recruits.
