2014 Preseason and Regular Season Polls

Yes. 46-7 at a place like Oregon including a near win in the championship PLUS what he's done in the NFL PLUS urban essentially calling him a genius is all this fan needs to know. Yes, he's lost big games, but guess what? Every year there's at most one team who didn't lose a single big game. For whatever reason we always seem to highlight that probably because of the fact we weren't used to seeing Oregon so good. News flash: OSU has won one NC since 1970. We've lost big games as well and have better resources and more talent than Oregon. Imagine if instead of having top 20 recruiting classes he was at OSU or UM and had top 5 recruiting classes. Yes, in my opinion he's damn good.

Taking a bit out of context... so far Helfrich is 11-2 and 4-1. Kelly went 10-3, 12-1, 12-2, 12-1. He went undefeated just once (and then lost NCG) -- Oregon's reputation of dropping 1 or 2 games a year didn't start with Helfrich is all I'm saying.

Sure, but how many teams win them all? Pretty fucking rare. What Bellotti and Kelly did was impressive.

That cuts both ways. Neither of your "impressive" guys won it all; so it's a bit unrealistic to expect the next guy to do so in 2 years.
137–80–2 and 46-7 are impressive, but 15-3 is trash? Ok. I mean, I get it -- he could be another Hoke. But personally, I don't see it.

Yeah I don't think 15-3 is trash. I'm not yet part of the group that thinks the current coach is bad.

UCLA, Ga Tech & Mizzou drop out. 5 SEC West teams in the Top 10. Only 6 SEC teams ranked this week. ESPiN has some work to do!

USCw jumps back in at 25 and Oregon jumps back into the Top 10. 6 PAC 12 teams ranked.

Buckeyes sandwiched by 4 Big 12 teams: Oklahoma (11), TCU (12), K State (14) and OSUlite (15).

3 B1G teams in and 3 receiving votes.
