We start with how some distance and perspective have affected our opinion of the Ducks after the disappointing loss in Corvallis. Then we bounce around to a few major Ducks developments: new CFP ranking featuring #23 Oregon, the Kyron Ware-Hudson decommitment, and expectations for our finish to the 2021 recruiting cycle. We also take a peek at the mood amongst the rival Huskies up north and discuss what the finish to this season could mean for the balance of power between Oregon, USC, and UW in the conference. As usual, we take a full look at the weekend slate and let you know what we expect from the Cal game. Charlie and Producer Paul wonder if this will finally be the week our defense shows up. Reid questions why any of this really matters if we can't beat the Washington next week. Go Ducks!
