^^^ any data to back that up?
Year after year...Oregon is either un-ranked or in the 20s in the preseason polls...fights and claws their way to the Top10/Top5...losses once and they"blow it"...I gaurentee that if you look at the program that has climbed the most number of positions in the polls, year after year, it will beOregon...without question...just like this year...unrated, picked to finish 5th or 6th in the Pac-10...
LSU...the suppose "best" team in the country...those are the fans that need to give it up...that team is 2 or 3 dumb-luck Les Miles play calls frombeing a 4 or 5 loss team...
Their defense would be been run ragged by a healthy Ducks team...
SEC isn't as good as the hype, never has been, never will be...and, until the likes of Florida and LSU play some powerhouse teams out-of-conference andquit scheduling Tulane and Western Carolina...they can't lay claim to the best conference in the country...
BTW...Tebow IS a joke...his stats are OBVIOUSLY padded in garbage time and against the likes of Western Carolina, etc...
