This week
What happened
Bo Jackson scored twice in the first quarter and Ohio State led 14-0. Then Dierre Hill Jr. ran for two touchdowns, one from 48 yards, Jamari Johnson scored on a direct snap on the final play of the first half, and Dylan Raiola threw touchdowns to Dakorien Moore and Brandon Smith: 25 of 40 for 257, no turnovers. The defense stopped Ohio State on all four of its fourth-down tries (ESPN box score, Nov 7, 2026). Jeremiah McClellan played for the first time since breaking his foot. Teitum Tuioti was helped off late, and Dan Lanning said Oregon will wait to hear from its medical staff (Sports Illustrated, Nov 7). Full recap →
What it means
Oregon came back from two touchdowns down in back-to-back games for the first time in the modern era (Oregon Athletics recap). It went into the game No. 23 in the CFP rankings, and the next ranking comes out Tuesday, Nov 10, at 6 PM PT. Michigan lost 15-6 at home to Michigan State on Saturday and is 5-4. Rankings →
Our opinion
Two weeks ago a lot of people were done with this team. They came back from 20-6 against Northwestern, then from 14-0 in Columbus, with a backup quarterback and nine players on the OUT list. Dan Lanning’s word for it: “We’re like cockroaches, man. We won’t die” (Oregon Athletics recap). Damn right. Michigan preview →

A new call sheet.
Through seven games the story was yards without points: 426 yards at Illinois, 10 on the board. Then Oregon changed its play-caller and scored 34 on No. 20 Northwestern, with Dylan Raiola throwing for 336. A season that was supposed to be about a young quarterback and the deepest roster in the Big Ten is, at 5-3, about whether one good afternoon was the start of something.
Working: Raiola to Dakorien Moore (7 catches, 128 yards, two touchdowns), Brandon Smith (82 yards, the team high, against Northwestern), Teitum Tuioti (2.5 sacks at Illinois) and Jamari Johnson as a reliable target. Still open: who carries it with Jordon Davison out at Ohio State and Dierre Hill Jr. back off the report, and whether Jeremiah McClellan, a game-time decision after three probable reports, returns to a receiver room still missing Messiah Hampton.
Settled on Oct 26: Dante Moore will not play again this season (see the injury tracker), and Jay Johnson leads the play-calling after Oregon relieved Drew Mehringer of his duties (Lanning, as quoted by ESPN, Oct 26, 2026). Our read: Illinois all but ended the playoff conversation, and then the committee put Oregon No. 23 on Nov 3. It takes winning out and it takes help. Anything can happen in Columbus.
The next honest answer is Michigan on Nov 14.

What the First Six Games Said (Oct 17)
In August the case made itself: back-to-back CFP appearances, a Big Ten title in year one, 48-8 under Lanning. Then Stillwater took the benefit of the doubt: 39-31 to an Oklahoma State team that had not beaten an FBS opponent in 21 tries. The Coliseum gave some of it back. Then UCLA came to Autzen and Oregon gave it away seven times in a 17-15 loss. Then Nebraska came in and Oregon won it ugly, 17-14, on a touchdown with 28 seconds left. Through six games, on Oct 17: two losses by a combined ten points, out of the AP Top 25, and six Big Ten games still ahead. Below is what six games answered, and what they did not.
Dig in: the 2026 schedule and what the gauntlet actually looks like, the roster and depth chart, Dan Lanning, and every BCS and CFP game Oregon has played.
