I was able to go to the online Ducks store and order three more shirts for the season. I'm pretty excited for this hopefully normal season.
Oregon should be the favorite in 10 or 11 of their games this year. The one I'm not sure on is At Washington. The Ducks escaped with a 35-31 win two years ago in a game Oregon trailed for most part of the game. As of now, I would have Washington at -2.5 but lots will change between now and the game.
We are getting to the point in the Cristobal era where we are expecting to be a Top eight team. Getting to the Playoff might be gravy but with a BCS Title appearance in 2010 and 2014 we should call ourselves due to get back to the College Football playoff.
The way that the Pac 12 schedule presents itself does make things problematic. For instance, this year Ooregon is At Washington and At Utah. It's super unfortunate because Washington hasn't been to Autzen since 2018.
Two years ago we were At Washington, USC and ASU all in the same year. We play four South teams a year so the rotation isn't even, but it seems to me we get the hard road schedule in the odd years and the easier road schedule in the even years.
So... maybe expectations should be lower this year? Playing a tough schedule might give us some advantages if we finish with one loss. It will be interesting if we beat Ohio State but finish 11-1 and don't win the division would we still go to the playoff. It would likely depend on other conferences.
Thanks for making Oregon a fun place to be apart of. Having Cerebal Palsy doesn't define me and I want to meet every Ducks fan there is.
Nine days to go. Get Excited Everyone!!
