Another trip to the top of the Pac-12 could be bittersweet for the Ducks -- and everyone else in the league.
This season’s Pac-12, much like last year’s, is incredibly deep. Everyone but rebuilding Oregon State is capable of winning at least seven games (yes, even Colorado.) Unfortunately, I don’t see any one of those teams being dominant enough to finish with a gaudy enough record to make the College Football Playoff.
Oregon is still the class of the conference. Anyone assuming the Ducks will implode post-Marcus Mariota must not remember them making a Rose Bowl with Jeremiah Masoli and a national title game with Darron Thomas.
