Note: When your team opens with an OOC schedule consisting of SMU, UTEP, and Rice, you can't complain about not being ranked after starting 3-0.

In other news, Oregon ranked 13 in both polls. If we don't stumble against the trees and Cal doesn't stumble against Arizona, there'll be two top 10 teams facing off at Autzen Stadium in two weeks (where Tedford has never won). That could be one HELL of a game - the level of raw talent on the field at the offensive skill positions will be crazy.
