Two highest ranked teams would meet, so Oregon vs PSU. Indiana being undefeated puts Ohio State on the fringe of making the playoffs with 3 losses, all to undefeated teams.

Great to see actual, REAL, coaching up a player. For one, Justius Lowe came in as a project with great speed, but little HS experience. He has been pretty exceptional in receiving, and he has been damn good blocking as well. Excited to see him progress.

At the end of the 3rd or beginning of the 4th quarter, Lowe was targeted on back to back plays.

I don't know how these plays were supposed to be executed but they were both hospital passes.

I’ve seen other places saying they go off the teams strength of schedules to determine the tie breaker. Not ranking of the teams.

I believe it’s specifically SOS against B1G opponents which I find incredibly dumb considering teams don’t control their own B1G schedule. I believe what I heard is that if Oregon, Penn State, and Indiana all win out, Indiana would be left out of the B1G championship since they most likely have played the weakest B1G schedule, but of course there’s lot of schedule left and that could change, but I also doubt we have 3 undefeated B1G teams.

It's a whole lot of mess about mutual opponents, but with 3 undefeated teams (and thus 0 losses in any game against common league foes), it looks like the final tie-breaker is some Sport Source Analytics Rating TM nonsense started by some VC clown no doubt so yea, Oregon and Penn State if all 3 are undefeated. Which frankly, if you're IU, is probably best as it is to not have to play that extra game while still making the playoff.

This was one of those back off big time games when 60 points were attainable. That potential for scoring will, I believe, serve us for the remainder of the season. So many 2nd and 3rd stringers played. That lays a foundation for excellence

I too think this might be an advantage for Indiana to be left out of the conference championship game. As an undefeated they are assured a good bracket placing and don't risk a bad loss and/or injuries in the CCG.

Lot of talk about running backs on here. I'll say this game made me feel better about the future of our running back room. I liked Riggs' high school film, and his couple plays in this game seemed to corroborate that. Say what we will about Locklyn the person, but he seemed to be a good scout. If next year's top backs are Harris and Riggs, I think we'll be in a good place.

It's also great to see the emergence of Justius Lowe, Devon Jackson making strides, A'mauri Washington looking like a future starter, and Sione Laulea making some nice plays. For the current season, you always worry about depth, and as someone who is always thinking about next year, these guys making plays is fantastic to see.

Riggs has always been way underrated. For a running back, he is also an excellent receiving threat. I remember watching clips of him running routes at a camp and you could tell he is a very well rounded player. He was described as "uncoverable" by evaluators at the camp.

Ducks vs. Them

[pezsez1]

That was an excellent Ducks vs Them!

Something I've been noticing in these vids is the number of guys in the secondary who've adopted Jabbar's box/thumbs celebration. Makes me think he just be an exceptionally special player in that group.

If you catch non-Ducks games, you'll see it frequently, too.
