Joel Klatt releases his college football top 10 teams after Week 8

 

Last week was a momentous occasion for the Oregon Ducks, as they finally got mentioned inside the top 10 for

Fox Sports college football analyst Joel Klatt, one of the most respected voices in the sport.

 

his week is almost equally as important, with a trio of Pac-12 teams moving into the top 10 following

a chaotic Saturday that saw seven ranked teams end up losing.

Utah over USC? TCU over Alabama? Joel Klatt’s top 10 is certainly interesting this week.

OSU Beavers sneak into ESPN Power Rankings; Oregon Ducks still the top dog out west

 

The Ducks are still standing atop the rest of the conference, though, and their offensive explosion-led win over Cal was impressive,

even more so when you consider the fact that none of the coaches or players seemed satisfied with the victory.

 

Let’s see where ESPN ranks the Ducks after Week 8, along with the other Pac-12 teams

 

DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM

The Pac-12 has 3 teams in the top 10, 4 teams in the top 15, and 5 teams in the top 25, according to ESPN’s rankings, with the Ducks leading the pack.

Report Card: Defensive line shines against California's running game

 

The goal of every defensive coordinator is to make the opponent’s offense as one-dimensional as possible. 

 

Oregon wanted to bottle up California’s true freshman tailback Jaydn Ott as much as they could. He showed

brilliance against Arizona with 274 yards and the Ducks didn’t want to be another victim to Ott’s legs.

 

Mission accomplished. Read about it here...

Oregon’s defensive line was able to stuff Jaydn Ott to just 57 yards, eight in the first half, and made Cal rely on its passing game.

Oregon's running backs show their versatility as more than just runners in win at Cal

 

Oregon's running backs were a difference-making Saturday afternoon against the California Golden Bears,

just not in the way you normally expect backs to produce.

 

While the trio of Noah Whittington, Bucky Irving, and Sean Dollars produced good stats on the ground,

it was what they did in the passing game that proved to be a difference-maker for Oregon.

What Cal people are writing about Cal:

 

Cal is bad and boring, the deadly college football sin

 

Ugly wins are now ugly losses. The talent hasn’t meaningfully improved. The coaching has regressed.

And the Bears have simply become dull Saturday viewing.

Cal plays yet another dull football game in their fourth straight loss to Oregon.

Gold: 1 thing I learned from every Pac-12 team in Week 9

 

We could very well be looking at a Pac-12 that includes six 8-win teams for the first time since 2019.

Great locker room pics after the game...TEAM!

 

Always feels great to beat a team coached by ex-Ducks!  Especially this bunch that borderlines on being "traitors" - Wilcox turned down coaching OBD TWICE, and Musgrave sent this son to play for the Beavs!
