After College Football’s most exciting week yet, the Associated Press’ Top 25 changed up quite a bit. That change din not, however, impact the Oregon Football team, as they remain steady at number 20. Headed into a matchup with the seventh rated Stanford Cardinal, the Ducks will surely move quite a bit based on this weekend’s result. Presumably, if Oregon defeats the nation’s seventh ranked team, they could see a jump all the way into the top 10 — a place Oregon’s no stranger to.

Here’s how Oregon and the 24 other programs stack up heading into week 4:

Well, things change quickly — something I’ve noted many a time. After three conferences were tied for having the most teams ranked, that narrative was laughed at and corrected by football’s best conference — the SEC. They lead the way with 6 ranked teams. And listen to these numbers: they have both numbers 1 and 2; they have 4 of the top 10; and they have 5 of the top 15. My God, we’re lucky to be on the west coast.

The Pac-12 has just 3 teams featured in the Top 25: Stanford, Washington and your Oregon Ducks.

Of course, this week’s “College Gameday” is heading to Eugene for the 20th ranked Ducks’ primetime matchup with the 7th ranked Stanford Cardinal. I can’t wait. Finally, we get to see whether or not our team is top-10 caliber, or still a work in progress.

Saturday’s game against Stanford will kick off at 8PM EST, 5PM PST at, for the fourth straight week, Autzen Stadium.
