Oregon Football, No.10 in Yahoo Sports Way-To-Early Top 25

Recommended Posts

Oregon picked up the #10 slot in the Yahoo Sports poll, but that was based on Shough and Brown coming back for 2021 and Thibodeaus and Noah Sewell taking control of the defense. 

IMO, I'm not sure either Shough or Brown will be controlling the offense in 2021. This is still very much up in the air right now and much could change  during the Spring Game. 

The defense I do agree with. Thats a no brainer.

USC is at #15 but IMO should be higher, like just above the Ducks at #9. Their only drawback is replacing their top 3 running backs, leaving there defense with plenty of retuning talent.

These are uncertain times with frequent and often unexpected twists and turns. While the ranking is flattering for the Ducks, there will be a lot of football to play to earn a final season ending ranking in the Top Ten. Go Ducks.

The Great Blue North is projecting that USC is losing four guys in the Top-100.

Amon-Ra St. Brown (#47), Talanoa Hufanga (52), Alija Vera-Tucker (58) and Jay Tufele (72). These are all Second and Third rounders. That's a lot of talent to replace.

Yes, a lot of good talent to replace. That should weaken them a bit.

Boy...we cannot complain about lack of respect!  That is a very generous ranking considering our last performance, and goes to show that if Oregon plays well--we will be considered for the top ten much easier than in the distant past.

That ranking seems about right. Ducks will probably lose to Ohio st and another P12 game giving them a 10-2 record before a bowl game. Thats deserving of a top 10 ranking.
