What a great day for college football! Texas A and M won on a strange defensive 97- yard fumble recovery from their own three, that included a lateral. My Ducks showed me a lot, and I was over-joyed when I saw them score three tds in the blink of an eye, after trailing the whole game. A gutsy win on the road, and it made my day! I loved how they never gave up, and I said before the season that Lanning was going to be fine. Bo Nix had a super game. Thanks to the SEC for Nix and our coach. The Beaver game was great. Lincoln Riley does not lose big games. He proved that at Oklahoma, and he showed me a lot at Reser. He brought his quarterback with him, and USC played well enough to win. Near the end of the game with the Beavers ahead, I saw Riley go over to his qb on the bench. He put his hands on the player's shoulders, looked him in the eye, and I am guessing he told him: "you are a great qb, you can lead us to a TD, I have confidence in you, and remember we came here together, and we trust each other! Play smart, we have plenty of time, and this will be a huge win for us. I know you are up for this challenge, and we came here together for situations like these." Then the qb went out and threw a bullet to a receiver who was only open for a second near the end-zone. An NFL throw with the game on the line! The Beavers will lose at Utah next week. Sub-super Mario Cristobal was favored by 24 at home in Miami. He lost the game, and I am so happy he is at Miami and not Eugene. The Clemson game went to two OTS versus Wake Forest. Love Dabo Sweeney and once again, he showed how great a coach he is. Clemson won and I will say again: my final four will be Clemson, Ohio State, Georgia, and Alabama. Even if USC or anybody else runs the table, it will not be good enough. Clemson has an easy schedule the rest of the way. Alabama and Georgia will not lose any, and even if one or both of them loses one game, they will still be in. Same for Ohio State. In the Pac-12 USC, UCLA, and the Huskies are all undefeated, Oregon has zero league losses. as does Cal.

WSU and the Beavers have one loss. OSU will lose at UW on a Friday night. Ducks have Utah and Huskies at home. USC and Utah play each other. Some big games coming up, and yesterday I broke my record for total hours of watching college football. Including college game day, which starts at 6am pdx time, and espn highlights after last pac-12 ended, I logged some 18 hours, and my average is 14, which was also my record. Now, I am on Fox sunday NFL preview and have more hours of good games , including Tom Brady and Aaron Rogers at 1 pm and SF and Denver at 5:30 pm. Monday night is for first place and I have the Giants -1 at home . Love most all sports, and football is my favorite. Sure glad I have three tvs with voice-activated remote control on each, and also comcast where I get all the major college games including ACC, Big 10, Pac-12, and the SEC. Throw in Thursday night games from Jeff Bezos and Amazon for about $4 each, with 12 left this season, and I am a happy camper. GO DUCKS
