Based on how hard the Ducks tried to rally and the grit they showed vs Oklahoma, I think next season will be better than expected for a first year coach. Lanning will be out to prove something and knows how to get the most out of his talent. His D will also be among the best in the conference. Georgia - L E Washington - W BYU - W Washington State - W Stanford - Toss Up Arizona - W Cal - W UCLA - L Colorado - W Washington - W Utah - Toss up Oregon St - W UCLA will be a very good team if DTR stays healthy. Stanford is always hard for some reason. I expect Oregon to go 10-2 and win the North again and face either Utah or UCLA in Vegas. USC needs another year to recover from years of poor leadership. Thoughts?

Oregon has such a great opportunity to take another large step forward. We have a coach who has coached the best athletes in the country and already has experience dominating in the SEC, advancing in the playoff, and winning the natty. There's no reason he can't do the same thing in the PAC-12. Ever since Lanning was named the coach and Georgia won the big one, I keep have a dream that Oregon makes it back to the playoff and wins it this time. Everyone talks about USC and its hire, but in my view Oregon sneaked in and got the hire with the most upside. It's about time I joined this board and I can't be more excited for the future of Oregon football. It's going to be sunny in Autzen for a long time to come.
