Kirk Herbstreit names top-performing teams in Week 8 of college football

 

Kirk Herbstreit’s name has not been far from mind for Oregon Duck fans so far this year.

He might have made a few more enemies after being the only member of the show to pick UCLA to win the game.

Kirk Herbstreit picked UCLA over Oregon on GameDay last week. He might be trying to make up for that wrong with his top-performing team rankings this week.

Jack Follman’s 10 Thoughts on Week 8 in the West


Week Eight saw the Ducks separate themselves from the rest of the Pac-12 Conference

 

But lest Oregon and its fan get overconfident—and for that matter, those of USC, UCLA, or Utah—

the stage is set for one or more of them to fall this weekend, if they aren’t prepared for what’s coming.

Bo Nix jumps over USC's Caleb Williams with giant leap up national QB rankings

 

What Nix did against the Bruins was largely what he’s been doing all season. It just so happens that,

with ESPN’s College GameDay in town, and the marquee matchup of the Pac-12 season, more eyeballs were on the game.

Caleb Williams was the Pac-12 media darling going into the 2022 season. Midway through the year, he’s been leaped in the QB rankings by another Pac-12 passer.

FOX's Joel Klatt says 'ridiculous' home-field advantage makes Oregon special

 

“They’ve got one of the best home-field advantages in all of college football,” Klatt said on The Joel Klatt Show. Autzen was awesome. 

That place is ridiculously difficult to play. They’ve won 23 straight games there, and that’s one of the best home-field advantages in the sport."

 

And no one talks about it. We never talk about it. Shame on me. Shame on guys like me for not talking about Pac-12 football that way.

We just never talk about atmospheres on the West Coast as being great. That’s a great atmosphere. Oregon’s got one of the best

home-field advantages in the entire sport, and they proved it on Saturday. Good on you, Duck fans. That was fantastic.”
