Well, look – I guess someone has to be a Stanford Homer – all the way up to #2? Behind Alabama. So…who’s ahead of Oregon in this ‘poll?’ – just about everyone.
Texas A&M, Oklahoma State, Ohio State, Florida, South Carolina, Stanford and Alabama
Yes, Oregon did lose it’s head coach, but I don’t really think they deserved to fall that much. Oregon should be in the Top 5 and if you look at the blueprint of how last year ended they should be, but then again – it is just a silly little preseason poll that means nothing, right?

If you must put Stanford ahead of Oregon, that works for me. There is another Pac 12 team on this list until #20(Cal) and #23(Oregon State). Baylor makes an appearance at#17 with Former Duck Lache Seastrunk, who should make some noise this year.
Right now it’s just fun to see where these so called ‘experts’ think things will fall. The real story begins on August 31st for the Ducks against Nicholls State inside Autzen Stadium.
