Brock Bowers is having ankle surgery. Out for the season per MCMURPHY

 

[bruin]

Hope I’m wrong.

 

[Mame YO]

Noon kickoffs are good, actually!

 

[Southpaw]

They gonna lose at least one for sure. That offense doesn’t have enough.

 

[bruin]

Another 12:30 kickoff for Oregon,

 

[CJ_24]

I can't believe they let this fucking school into the B1G

 

[goblue96]

I was hoping this was going to a 12:30 EDT kickoff for THE SQUAD

 

[bruin]

My personal favorite is 5 PM.

 

[fried rice]

I can't believe they let this fucking school into the B1G

I can’t believe that they want to see the squad.

 

[goblue96]

They wanted B18. They got B18.

 

[digs]

Matt Prehm looks like a tumor's asshole

 

[Mame YO]

It’s going to be cool having teams like meatchicken or THE Ohio state at autzen. Oregon plays both in the next two seasons so I’ll probably get tickets to see one of them. I bet they’re going to be even more expensive than U$C tickets lol.

I'd suggest not spending hundreds of dollars to watch CTE-ball in person

Spending money on CTE-ball is for LOW IQ INDIVIDUALS

 

[pavel]

He wants to see the squad!!

 

[CJ_24]

They wanted B18. They got B18.

No one wanted B18

 

[Mame YO]

Seeing games in person is fun, actually!

 

[CJ_24]

Anti-CTE ball fan frequently posts on CTE ball site in threads about CTE ball

 

[adchester]

I actually watched a bit of SNF last night because I was on an airplane and had nothing better to do. 70% of the telecast was commercials or people getting serious neck injuries, wow so fun!

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Spoken like a true normie, broccoli man. This has been a noted simulation baseball website for years on this site

 

[CJ_24]

No, this has been a noted Oregon sports journalist house of worship website for years on this site

 

[OU11]

 

[DeadMan]

And they’ll get stomped by 30 by any of PSU, OSU, or Michigan in the championship game.

 

[Karl Hungus]

 

[bruin]

Said they were wanting to be in pads, clearly ready to work.

 

[bruin228]

HARD NOSED narrative gonna be all over that one

HARD WORK WORK

 

[Lightningwar]

They wanted B18. They got B18.

B18? Try B22 when FSU, Chumpson, UNC and UVA join.

Here is the newest adjusted EPA for offense rush/pass and defense rush/pass



I know that the entire point is to control for opponents but it’s kind of crazy to me how little movement there’s been for some of these teams. The good teams seem to establish an identity early and it their statistical profile doesn’t really deviate much. Washington has been in those same spots on the graph all season and Oregon has shifted just a tad (better at rushing offense, defense, and slightly worse passing offense than last week’s data).

If you go back to the overall offense/defense one I posted a couple of days ago the top 15 or so are pretty clear. The top 4 looks pretty clear too, but 2/4 top 4 teams have played basically coin flip games against top 15 teams.

If anything I’m more worried about the Civil War game and less worried about the rest.

 

[Dr. Shats Basoon]

probably because those charts are made up nonsense

 

[Dr. Shats Basoon]

Iowa will drop 1 or 2 at some point. Its the Big Ten West way

B1G best way is to have an 11-1 team get blown out in their championship game by 40 followed by a NY6 game vs LSU, Oregon, or UNC and lose by 60.

Not Oregon doe. That will only make Oregon fans think that Oregon was actually good.
