Lord, Dan.
Just because you can’t close it out with an unendingly deep NIL pool doesn’t mean you take pot shots at the conference where you honed your craft.
Do better, dude. Kirby taught you to be better than this, anyway.

Let all the Bulldog faithful rally behind the men who now wear the red and black with two words, two simple words which express the sentiments of the entire Bulldog Nation: Auburn Sucks.
He’s dead to me.
😆
Wonder if he knows Chattanooga State doesn’t have a football program?
He knows….he tried to schedule them!
I think someone’s backside still hurts from the 49-3 belt to ass beating Kirby gave him in his first game not wearing red and black.
Dan Lanning is now the face of the enemy nothing else.
He gets more flakey every day. Oregon’s schedule is softer than soft.
Prior to the usc game, Oregon opponents have a combined 61 wins & 52 losses. Also Oregon trails Georgia significantly in strength of schedule
ESPN noted today we have the hardest ranked schedule amongst the top 4 teams…
He has to tow the party line. The B1G officials would probably tell the refs to punish him if he had the audacity to say otherwise.
I love the “hang the banner” tweets (just don’t know how to do them), but here goes:
Oregon – didn’t play Chattanooga State, November 22, 2025
The problem is that Charlotte is in a conference that has the opportunity to go the CFP just like members or the SEC or B1G. The winner of that conference will have played a multitude of teams just like Charlotte in their conference and then thump their chest because they are undefeated in their conference and “deserve” a spot in the CFP. In theory Charlotte has just as much of a chance of a CFP spot as UGA or Oregon. The real fix is to not pretend that the winner of the AAC, SBC (et al) is playing the same level of competition week in and week out as the big boys. Maybe there needs to be a Group of Six league. If those teams are not considered “real FBS” teams, then why are they clamoring for a spot in the CFP? If we are considering them as “real FBS” teams, then stop bitching if one shows up on a schedule.
Every sport has teams that absolutely suck that wind up on someone’s schedule every year and they count the same as the other wins. Just look at the Colorado Rockies this year.
anOhio State played Grambling and Ohio
Oregon played Boise State and Idaho
Indiana played Indiana State, Kennesaw State, and Old Dominion
Michigan played Central Michigan and New Mexico
Didn’t hear Lanning bitch about the B1G doing it. Didn’t hear him say anything about it when he was at UGA or Bama. He must have breathed too much smoke from all the wacky weed in Eugene.
This is to say all conferences do it, the SEC is just smarter to spread them out strategically.
The B1G reply to your comments would be they don’t play these teams at the end of the season. Guess what? No one is preventing them scheduling their cupcakes later. There isn’t a rule that says the B1G must schedule non-conference games in August or early September.
As I pointed out above, the SEC is just smarter about it.
The Big 10 is a joke–a patched together Frankenstein creature spanning the continent with no common culture, no cohesion, patched together with prayer, baling wire, the the fortunes of 4, maybe 5 teams. Dan knows what he’s in the midst of, so maybe that’s why he’s so touchy!
I think all the “stuff” in the air in Eugene has fried his brain.
Dude, let’s not talk about being tested in the regular season. You were #1 in the CFP last year and the Suckeyes did to you what the Sisters did to Andy Dufresne before Hadley straightened out Bogs. Come January, you might just be eating thru a straw…
Love the Shawshank reference. One of top 10 all time favorites
