Q: With a young offense and Kelly back on the sidelines, how do the Ducks stack up next year in your earliest of preseason polls?

A: For me, Oregon starts next season where they ended this season — national championship contenders.

I was a little disappointed I didn't get quite the love in the Pacific Northwest in the preseason that I thought I had earned by picking Oregon to win the national championship this year. Notre Dame, going into the BCS Championship Game, deserved to be there — the most deserving team. The best teams from the start of fall practice to the very end were Alabama and Oregon. Two different things.

GO DUCKS!
