00:00Speaking of winning games, Rich, I feel like that's all Oregon and the Ducks know how to

00:08do. 49-21 over the Huskies. Dylan Gabriel was fantastic again here this afternoon, could

00:14even say clinical at times. They were number one coming into this week. They put up another

00:19impressive display. Is this the clear-cut choice, best team in college football, and

00:25the ones to take down as we move into the postseason?

00:28Yeah, the reason why I would say yes is I still think Ohio State has the best roster.

00:34I know we haven't seen that throughout the season, certainly didn't see it earlier today,

00:39particularly at the quarterback position. But I think pound for pound, Ohio State is the

00:43best team. I would not abandon them if you're looking to wager some money on the

00:47playoffs. I think Ohio State is legitimately still the favorite, even though we'll have

00:52to play an extra game. But Oregon and Dan Lanning, you're right. I mean, they are just

00:58the locomotive right now on both sides of the ball. I love the way you describe Dylan

01:02Gabriel. Surgical, precise, all of that applies. Veteran, seen and done everything. I

01:08think he's the perfect quarterback to bring into the postseason. Can Oregon get over the

01:13hump and finally win a national championship? I mean, this seems to be the year. It's

01:18remarkable that we've gone through an entire season, guys, 134 FBS teams, only one left

01:25standing without a loss. And that is the Oregon Ducks. So I think for good reason,

01:29they'll go into the playoffs as the favorite. Let's see what happens against Penn State.

01:34I like Oregon in that game. I like Dan Lanning in that game. And I'll tell you, these

01:40Ducks have certainly been impressive. They had some holes at the beginning of the season

01:46that they quickly filled, especially on the offensive line. And I think Dan Lanning is

01:49showing why he's one of the five or six best young coaches in college football right now.

01:54Absolutely. Right now, Oregon sitting at plus 350 for that national championship title.

01:59We'll see how they continue to progress moving forward.
