Episode Details

Oregon Ducks are poised for a big 2026 season, riding a strong returning core and new talent, but ESPN’s FPI has them at No. 4—behind Notre Dame, Texas, and Ohio State—projecting a 10-win season. The Ducks’ showdown with Ohio State in Columbus could be pivotal for both teams’ playoff hopes and FPI rankings. Meanwhile, Indiana, the surprise 2025 champs without their Heisman QB, sits just behind Oregon at No. 6. Oregon’s schedule, with only three top-25 opponents, could be a double-edged sword: a win over Ohio State could skyrocket their FPI, but a loss to a lower-ranked team might tank it.
