This was true in 2019, which is why I was shaky on him as a candidate. Now, he has a Top 5 finish, Rose Bowl win, two conference championships, 4-1 record against Top 10 teams and a current Top 10 record to his name. No other candidate in the picture will have those on-field credentials, which...

I'm tired of losing those games.

Wittingham's 2019 team was his best team since they joined the conference. He had 7 draft picks, plus Tyler Huntley. Mario beat him, won the conference title, won the Rose Bowl and finished Top 5. And since then, he signed two monster classes. He's been the most successful coach in the Pac-12...

Just take the L and stop digging. You said that Whittingham is the "most successful coach in the conference" since Cristobal has been there. That's wrong. Your argument is that "Whittingham has more conference wins if you don't count his two Ls in the championship and don't count Cristobal's...

This is wrong. Cristobal has 21 conference wins (including conference championship over Utah), which is more than Whittingham. And Cristobal is 2-0 in title games, while Whittingham is 0-2.

FWIW, they're ranked 9th in the 247 "team talent" ratings and they're ranked 7th on the field. To me, it's pretty straightforward. He's the most accomplished coach in the picture (strictly on-field results) and his elite recruiting brings the potential for more. Plus, we couldn't even sign him...

He must be overachieving, since he's winning more games than the rest of the teams.

He built that unfair roster, though. Oregon was not recruiting at that level before he got there. And when the talent is equal, his team usually plays its best.

Oregon is ranked #7 in this week’s AP Poll.
