The 2026 Gauntlet
The toughest schedule of the Lanning era, at a glance. Bar height is our difficulty rating, tap any game for the full preview.
Moore went 28 of 37 for 378 and three scores, Hurych answered the kicking question, and Dakorien Moore won it with 7:51 left. Boise State led at the half and never really left.
A 9 AM body-clock test in a stadium Oregon has never visited. The talent gap is not the interesting part.
A Friday night tune-up. The goal is reps for people who need them and no headlines of any kind.
Old Pac-12 nonsense in a Big Ten costume. Different conference, same smug, same result we are hoping for.
The half of the LA road trip nobody circles, at home, which is precisely when this sort of thing goes sideways.
Nebraska will bring forty thousand people to Autzen because there is nothing else happening in Nebraska in October. Respect the travel. Beat them anyway.
The trap-game-shaped object in the middle of October. Nobody circles Illinois in August, which is exactly how Illinois gets annoying.
A Halloween home game. Oregon has a long history of treating those as a costume opportunity.
The measuring stick, in their building, and we are 2-10 against them all time. Nobody here needs reminding what that number is.
Autzen against a blue blood in November. This is the environment the stadium was built to ruin, and Michigan has been ruined here before.
A Friday night road game in November, which should worry you considerably more than Michigan State does.
Fuck Washington. The season finale against the team we like least, and no further explanation has ever been required.
The Four That Matter
Win 3 of 4 and Oregon is in the CFP conversation. Win all 4 and they might be hosting a playoff game.
The road to the championship goes through Columbus on Nov 7.
The Gauntlet: October 31 to November 28
