Molly Yanity drinks irrationality for breakfast

Or, for those too lazy to click, she has Oregon at No. 9 in the country.

Granted, it seemed like the entire country wasn't really that impressive outside of USC and BYU (who I feel is underrated by Yanity in this instance), but this kind of optimism...well, I don't know. It feels weird. This isn't John Hunt (he's the only Oregon media member allowed to vote in the AP Poll). I have respect for Molly and her P-I work is very well done, but I would appreciate a full explanation on all teams.

(Granted, she does eff up in a major way by putting LSU ahead of Oklahoma when Bob Stoopid's boys have been steamrolling fools. And I don't like how she's filled in the rest of the poll. But this has a lot of positives at the top, outside of LSU, for all its negatives.)

I guess the question I want to ask is...what does this say about Oregon, national perception, on-field performance, etc.?

What's even odder

is that none of the comments I saw even brought Oregon up. UW’s hometown fishwrap, and not a single Husky rails about putting us in the top 10? Strange times.

Contrast

Not trying to hijack here….but here’s a little contrast. Check out what Craig James did. Seriously? WVU, Kansas, and Fresno State, all coming off loses, above the Ducks? And just to cap it off, he’s got Arizona at #24. WOW
