#4 Oregon

2010-2011: 12-1 (8-0)

I spent all that time building up Oregon in the Stanford post, but yet here are the Ducks just one spot later.  Oregon has all the right pieces in place for Chip Kelly's offense to go...and go......and go.  This team could realistically set scoring records thanks to speed, talent, and a little offense creativity.  I have one modest proposal to make for Oregon: Kenjon Barner in the slot.  The team lost most of their wideouts could use the explosive back outside, keeping defenses a little more honest.  At the worst he'd be a phenomenal distraction.  Aside from that, Oregon should do what they did last year: pass the ball, run the ball, score a helluva lot of points, and pray they don't meet an SEC team in New Orleans if they make it.

2011-2012 Outlook:
Key Game: November 12th @Stanford...Even with the early test against LSU, Oregon knows conference games are always more important, especially if they lose week 1.
Predicted Record: 11-1 (7-1) {loss @Stanford}
