- After the win, Lanning argued Oregon’s slate is tougher than peers’ and said, “We didn’t play Chattanooga State today.”
- He pointed to weeks when top contenders faced unranked opponents, contrasting that with Oregon’s schedule and recent results.
- Lanning noted that teams Oregon beats can later drop out of the polls, which he says diminishes how those wins are judged.
- He said the program’s focus remains execution, with a regular-season finale at Washington offering another chance to solidify their CFP case.
