    - Expect an upset in one of the conference games for the auto bid - KWIRISH - 8:24am 11/21/25
      - ACC is most likely, and Big 10 possible, although latter doesn't have much impact o/s Oregon - LanceManion - 9:22am 11/21/25
        Exactly. Most conferences don’t have divisions anymore guaranteeing the top - ndphysics - 9:47am 11/21/25

  - I don't think it will matter either way with the committee, but I don't think Oregon is that good - Turkish - 8:03am 11/21/25
    - Tough, physical teams have given Oregon problems. Unfortunately, USC is not that. [NT] - Clem - 8:18am 11/21/25
      - Sadly you may be right on that. Both those teams want a track meet. Avoid turnovers USC. [NT] - THEISMANCARR - 12:06pm 11/21/25
        Incorrect. Oregon is a much more physical running team this year. - AlbanyIRISH - 1:09pm 11/21/25
