• Over at PK Park, the Ducks defeated the No. 2 UCLA Bruins 4-3 in extra innings on Sunday, becoming the first team all year to win a series against the Bruins. Now, Oregon will hope to hear their name called by the NCAA baseball selection committee this morning.
• If you're into way-too-early NCAA football national championship odds, Bovada has you covered. As of now, USC has the best odds in the conference to win the national championship at 18/1 while Oregon is close behind at 22/1.
• La'Mar Winston, a four-star athlete from Central Catholic and Oregon's top rated prospect, released his top 8 a few days ago with Oregon making the cut. Six other Pac-12 schools are in the mix as well while Michigan is the only non-Pac-12 school remaining on his list.
