Ghost_of_Dude 23 Oregon also had a rough year last year but, alongside TCU, they return most of their important pieces and FPI likes them as well. And with Willie Taggart now at the helm, we may well see immediate improvements. 
noahthearc 23 The Ducks could be back. I'm probably optimistic on their return to the top of college football.

WhiteBaseCoat 24 (see above)As a side note and an explanation of some of this poll's seeming weirdness, I realize I still don't have WVU/Tennessee/Utah/a slew of others who some would think are more deserving than teams like Oregon/TCU/Wazzu; when it comes down to it, I felt those other teams don't return enough of a combination of talent and production to be on the board. I have nothing against coaches like Holgersen and Whittingham and I honestly thing Butch is a better coach than the memes would have you believe, but their teams will be inexperienced and, to varying levels, won't have much talent going for them (not so much with Butch, but with many of the other bubble teams). I trust the likes of Patterson and Leach with an experienced team more, and while Taggart is certainly not on their level, I do think he's very good and has the pieces to quickly bring Oregon back into form. In general, this is also just sort of a fun pick to spice up a preseason poll. There is no need to be upset.
