I was expecting a top 5 start once Gabriel announced he was coming to Oregon. If our key players are healthy going into game 1, I think being ranked 3rd is a real possibility.

SEC teams ushered to the top spots in the rankings...

Some things never change!

What happened the #1 until proven otherwise logical fallacy that kept GA on top for so long?

I think the lowest I've seen Oregon in any 2024 poll so far is 7th. I think everyone sees just how much talent they're returning and bringing in. I think the only ways they don't make a CFP run is Gabriel isn't a good fit, they have a bunch of injuries, or the Big Ten has much better talent than everyone expected.

Saw one with UW not in it, and they were throwing a fit on twitter. It was glorious
