Shockingly, Connecticut is ranked #1 again. Oklahoma, whom the Ducks play at the PK80 Invitational Nov. 25, is at #21. Miss. St., whom the Ducks play Dec. 13 in Starkville, is ranked #4. Other Pac-12 teams are UCLA at #7, Stanford #9, Beavers #17, and Cal and UW are tied at #25.
To me, the #11 ranking shows plenty of respect for the Duck women's program.

Re: Women ranked #11 in Preseason Coaches Poll
Would not expect much higher than that, but they could easily surpass that ranking when it is all said and done...
Stewart Mandel-"From a purely aesthetic standpoint, I much prefer to watch a good spread-rushing offense over a traditional Power-I offense, and Oregon's has been the most fun by far for the past several years. It's fast, its precise, and when Chip Kelly has the right quarterback (Dixon, Masoli) at the helm, the possibility of someone ripping off a 60-yard run exists on nearly every play."
