Why these 7 teams probably aren’t as good as their rankings

Oregon

• AP rank: 12th
• S&P+ rank: 34th

Oregon stared down the Pac-12 North’s heavyweights and has maybe become the new division favorite. The Ducks are presenting a newer, more physical version of themselves, and the results are exciting. They’re 5-1, and the only blemish, the 38-31 overtime loss to Stanford, was oh so close to being a win. Oregon matters again, and that’s exciting.

So why is S&P+ lukewarm on the Ducks? Defense, mostly. After inching up to 65th in Def. S&P+ after the 3-0 start, they have fallen back to 91st after giving up 8 yards per play to Stanford (season average: 6) and 5.9 to Cal (5.2) and needing two late Washington miscues (a muffed snap on a fourth-and-1, then a missed 37-yard field goal) to keep the Huskies under 30 points despite 437 total yards.

At 12th in Off. S&P+, the Ducks’ offense is as good as advertised, and Justin Herbert has established himself as almost certainly the top quarterback in next year’s NFL draft.

But a one-dimensional team is only going to rise so high in S&P+. The defense will at least need to return to its early-season form if the Ducks are going to survive road games to Washington State and Utah.

Everyone of those teams would kick the dog shit out of the Huskies

Too late. The disrespekt is already done.

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

I feel like Michigan has an inflated S&P and that is the only reason they aren't on this list.

 

[ralphiewvu]

Yeah we probably are more in the 20ish range than 13. I do agree with that.

Seems like an odd subject for OP.

Michigan is going to straight up lose to MSU this weekend, so expect to see them ranked higher.

Not crying at all. Tell us again how amazing your rat looking coach and beta quarterback are and how they’re TOTALLY a CFP team. Go lick your wounds and apply some ointment to your ass. It’s gotta be sore after both auburn and Oregon had their way with you.

It's crazy given all the hype, they could end up a 5-loss team.
