Oregon Ducks Earning Respect In Rankings, Move to 16th In Associated Press Poll

Following a big weekend and beating the Arizona schools on the road for the first time since 2009 the Oregon Ducks are still in some ways looking for some respect. In football the wins carry more weight than in basketball, at least to this point. To start the year Arizona was the cream of the crop in the Pac-12. They were the team and still are the team with the name recognition. The Wildcats have fallen from their pedestal and the Oregon Ducks stand at the top of the Pac-12 Conference as the second half of the season begins this week, but in the minds of voters the Pac-12 may not be the power house they once were.
