An Elite Recruiting Class Is?

[soduck]

Only Alabama, Texas, Auburn, LSU and OKlahoma had higher rated average recruiting numbers on rivals than the Ducks, without Randall. I know it is just stars, but If we can stay in this company we will have a lot of BCS bowls, and dare I say another Natty, in our future. And yes we missed out on some good DTs, but with our undersized DTs, we held Auburn to 22. If we had a few more holes with our now bigger O-line we win that game anyway. If we hold out the JC, who was ranked the 95th jc in 09, to a couple less tackles, we win. And now we have a larger O-line, the highest ranked we have ever had. And insanely good RBs and skill positions.

If we beat LSU in Dallas, I think we'll be back in the Natty within a year from now.

If we go undefeated next year the fact we play LSU and start out top 5 likely we will be in the natty. The weird thing is we can maybe lose one game and still have a chance at the Natty, if it was against LSU.

If we lose one game we could still go to the Natty easy especially if we beat LSU. I think its us, Oklahoma or FSU next year.

LSU scares me, as does USC. Everyone else? Not so much.

USC scares you in Autzen? Personally, I'm a lot more worried about visiting Arizona and Stanford. Oregon is known for faltering on the road against good defensive teams.

Man I'd love to see USC lose twice in Autzen in one season. It would be twice in 3 weeks actually if we both win our divisions and SC late in the year playing in Oregon in the rain and cold weather, hahaha.

Considering the safe money is on having SC's scantions not being reduced, they will not be eligible to play in the Pac12 championship game this season.

Yes. They're a very talented team, and premier talent is something you can never look past.

Honestly though, it will basically be the same team as this year plus a few freshmen. We ALWAYS struggle at Arizona and at Stanford, I don't see why that should change this year. We've beat the crap out of USC two years in a row, so I'm feeling ok about that one.

We're more talented than they are.

I'm always more worried about conference road games than home games since those seem to be the games that top teams lose.

I would worry a lot less about LSU if they were game 3 or later. The opening game is a wild-card no matter who it's against, let alone a talented (but folly prone) team like LSU.

@Arizona has me the most worried though. Tough place to play at. Veteran QB. They pretty much hate us there.
