What we learned at the Rose Bowl and how the playoff system could be tweaked


Listen Later

We’ve had a week to process Oregon’s 41-21 loss to Ohio State in Pasadena. While the Ducks were badly outplayed by their opponent, the system that put them in that matchup remains a topic of much debate and scrutiny.

On this week’s episode of the Oregonian Sports Podcast, hosts Bill Oram and Brenna Greene of KOIN unpack the New Year’s debacle, including whether the Ducks should consider any staffing changes.

Also discussed on this week’s episode:

• Will top teams start to manipulate their seasons, including resting players in conference title games?

• If the Ducks are gradually leveling up, does that make next year their year to win in the playoff?

• With the NBA’s trade deadline a month away, what are reasonable expectations for the Blazers front office?

• The Blazers have the NBA’s sixth-worst record, but with lottery odds front of mind, are they winning too many games?
