Rankings, Uniforms and Golf?

Perhaps the most important part of the college football season is the rankings. For years now the Ducks have been at the top of those rankings. So, as we near the beginning of the season, the rankings start to be important again. Here is a look at the top four polls in the nation.


Athlon Sports has the Ducks at #6 in front of Stanford and Michigan State. It would not be that bad to be put at #6 away from attention, but still enough time to jump into the top four position.
Lindy's Sports has the Ducks at #4 in the nation. Stay in that position and we could get to the playoffs, but there's 12 games in a season, and at some times, 13. That could be hard to keep that position.
Sporting News has the ducks at #2, very high in the rankings, but it could be important to make a message to the voters across the country.
USA Today Sports ranks us at #4. That seems to be an average as far as rankings. It looks like #4 will be our resting place until the Ducks start their season.


Many of you have noticed that the Ducks do not like to stick to one uniform for long. In fact they change the uniform every game, but are their new snazzy looking uniforms good or are they bad? That's for you to decide, but they are flashy, and they have only published two uniform combinations so far, with much more to come.


Marcus Mariota has already finished college in three years, and has returned to play football for one more year. This year he only has two classes, by his choice: Golf and Yoga. I'm sure there are worse things to take a class on in school. For more questions on any of the topics email me at duckseason2014@gmail.com
