This is most likely going to be the first time in a while the Ducks are not dotting a Top 10 Preseason list. They won't be far off either because winning breeds recruiting, confidence and henceforth more winning. Generally, for Oregon to be on top in this rocket paced offense the quarterback has to be a potential Heisman candidate. Time will tell as the season progresses if that can be remotely true. The defensive front has a sizeable turnover as does the offensive line. In no way however should anyone dismiss this team from having a shot at the Pac 12 crown per usual.
