Recommended Posts

Our yearly study of the teams with enough talent to win a national title in 2022.

 

Bummer (sarcasm alert): Former members Washington, Florida State, and Stanford are all multiple good classes away, in theory.

 

Non-Bummer: Conference wise, "without USC, Oregon is likely to be alone in the Pac-12 at the top of the recruiting list for a while to come."

This is a critical subject, and a link I will hang onto for when somebody declares, "Stars don't matter," in a post.  The Ducks are at least eligible at this point, but I believe will climb that rating with this Lanning staff.

Comprehensive plan. recruit them, develop them, have a scheme that lets you exploit that talent.

It has been proven that the winners of the championships have had stellar recruiting numbers. But Oregon didn't lose to Auburn because of their roster. If Dixon didn't go down, that team would have won it all.  I'm all in for Oregon getting the top players, but it's just another stat.

Are we talking about the 2011 team?

That was an era with a very special set of circumstances. The scheme revolutionized college football and the tempo destroyed teams. 

 

Chip caught lightning in a bottle and once everyone figured it out just having athletes who could execute it was no longer enough.

 

Now you need a high powered offense and a strong defense and the top athletes to counter every other team trying to do the same. 

 

That is ... Until the next major revolutionary idea for the sport and it all gets turned on its head again.

And some of us are shouting...."GoGo Offense!"

Oregon fans have heard much this off-season about the innovative, up-tempo Run-Pass-Option (RPO) offense new offensive coordinator Joe Moorhead ran at Fordham...

According to this we are tied for the ninth best of this definitive measure. Not bad and by the looks of it with DL and crew we are not leaving soon.

2007 is interesting. Looking at it, perhaps what stands out is the number of "key" players ranked nationally from 300 to 800. One wonders if those numbers reflect less developed player rankings at the time, or just the staff turning over rocks and stones and developing kids?

 

The team did have a fair amount of highly rated kids.  Far from "blue blood/blue chip" program level, but still, some dudes.

 

Interesting to look at 2007 to 2022:

I didn’t see Herbert and Mariota, both 3-stars, on the list, but several great Duck players were unheralded, including Jeff Maehl, one of the most reliable receivers in Duck history.

 

A short list of other overachievers:

 

 

Byrd.                    969

Chung.                  UR

Thurmond.          671

Hill.                       576

 

Swinson.              509

Dorlus.                  836

Unger.                   616

Forsyth.                465

Williams.              425
