well your opinion vs that of multiple sources from analysts

LSU was pre season ranked #6 coming in to last season.
I'm not saying Oregon wont be good. They do have a great defense but college football right now is about putting up points . LSU beat all those great SEC defenses with a great QB and NFL WRs. Clemson is favored to be right up there with Lawrence and NFL WRs.
Oregon is going the oposite way with their offense and with a first year QB and your head coaches tendency to run I think scoring points will be their issue. I just have a feeling USC will be lighting it up with Slovis and a top 3 WRs unit. They will lack the great defense so they arent in the top say 8 class but I think they can be a top 10 team.

I have no doubt Oregon will be top4 in the conference in scoring offense.

from 18 to 19 oregon went up in points per game. Oregons points per game in 17 was higher than both but in 19 they scored more total points. Oregon in 2016 was their worst year in decades and they were just outside top 25 in points per game.
so while Oregon isnt where they were in 2015 (3 coaches ago) they are trending up over the last couple

I guess you haven't heard . Your QB who started 43 games and was a first round pick is........long gone. Trending with him there is different than trending with who knows who starting this season. Every coach when starting a new QB tries to ease them into the system and not put too much on him. With Oregon and the O line and the RBs. Theres gonna be no rush to throw a lot and score a lot of points unless you get way behind. So I'm not saying you dont have a QB who can be good. I'm saying the coaches wont ask him to throw 40 times a game.

With a new QB and a lean towards running the ball and ball control offense. I think that would'nt be a good bet.
ESPN only projects USC ahead of Oregon in offense for 2020 and no other pac teams in the top 25

Sorry but don't buy it. When your two deep is a 5 and 4 star at every position let me know.
the 2 deep is primarily just that minus a couple and few of those have shown they were under rated like Scott and McKinley

Let me think about it. I really dont like the idea of not flying my Marine Squadron colors. lol
compromise to changing favorite team to Oregon for the length of the bet agreement
