While, yes, it's ridiculous, I doubt Urbz is going to be trying to run them into the ground this week.

Required film time with the coaches and team meetings count toward the time limit. So does three hours for the actual game. You can accomplish quite a bit more in preparation without running your players into the ground.

I agree that Meyer won't practice them any harder than an in-season game week.  But it would be funny if he did, just to see Oregon outscore them 28-0 in the fourth quarter.

I'd agree it would make sense not to practice they folks that will play in the game any harder than normal. But wouldn't it makes sense to use the extra practice time to get players further down the depth chart a lot of reps?

If the NCAA is quick enough to approve the request to assist players families in their travel costs for the championship game, they can probably fix this. They should at least.

It seems like they are able to get away with anything.  It is like the bully at school who weasels his way out of trouble everytime.  Can't wait for Harbs to take down these cheaters.

Ohio State is on a semester system and does not start 2nd semester classes until Monday. Oregon is on the quarter system and is currently in class. The 20 hr. rule does not apply if classes are not in session. That was true for Oregon's late start of classes to open the season, thus the Oregon advantage vs Sparty. 

And Urban is so taking advantage of it that he gave the team the day off today. No practice. No meetings. 

Yawn.

So did Oregon have a week in November/December while OSU was in school?  Seems like this should even out on the front end.
