Oregon's situation is a roster management nightmare, not a luxury. Having two five-stars means you're guaranteed to lose one to the portal, creating instability. Michigan won a national title with a clear QB1 and a developed plan B who knew his role. Oregon's 38% third-down conversion rate last year wasn't fixed by a competition, it was fixed by a consistent starter. Real depth is having a reliable backup, not a divided locker room. The best programs identify their guy and develop him, they don't let a public battle become a distraction.
