Happy FOOTBAWLLLLL day my fellow Ducklings! Oregon plays their first game outside of Autzen this season, but there is also a lot of other teams vying to improve their precious rankings. Houston looks like a team ready to give anyone an absolute dogfight. Baylor’s players apparently want to fight each other while cruising to a win. And food for thought: Notre Dame, Oklahoma, LSU and Ole Miss are all ranked ahead of us, despite being 1-1. But of course, it is still early in the season, and we, as fans, always put too much stock in rankings this early. USC/Stanford should be a decent matchup, as should Ole Miss and BAMA. Colorado and Michigan could be better than expected. Did you know the Buff are averaging 50 points per game this season? I did. Because I looked it up. Have a great day and enjoy the best time of the year!
