Warning Hits Dan Lanning Before Oregon’s Do-Or-Die Clash Against Lincoln Riley’s USC

Everyone is excited for the upcoming Oregon vs. USC showdown. For Dan Lanning and Lincoln Riley, this game carries huge stakes.

In simple terms, it’s a do-or-die moment for both coaches. USC Trojans Football sits at 8-2, while Dan Lanning’s Oregon stands at 9-1.

However, the NCAA CFB landscape and its rankings are showing a completely different picture, one where USC is being placed above Oregon.

NCAA’s rankings hardly affect either team’s actual performance, and it’s unlikely to create any real pressure for Dan Lanning — in fact, Coach Dan probably doesn’t care about it at all.

But beyond these rankings and tables, a threat-level warning has emerged for Coach Dan and Oregon. They simply can’t ignore it, because this warning comes from a well-known analyst, J.D. Pickell.
