Sure, the Ducks are good; they have an explosive, no huddle offense lead by freshman Marcus Mariota who had 133 yards rushing, a touchdown pass and a touchdown catch while running back Kenjon Barner had three scores and 135 rushing yards of his own. Their defense is fast and known for shutting down their opponent and has only allowed an average of about 20 points per game. But the Ducks have yet to be challenged so far this season and have a tough road ahead of them.
Coming up in the next upcoming weeks, the Ducks will have to travel to USC to face the Trojans, who will be their biggest opponent thus far. Here, the Ducks will truly be tested for the first time and we will see how their offense and defens...

No. 1 in our hearts
The Oregon Ducks fell one spot in the BCS rankings following their 43-21 win over the Arizona State Sun Devils, but with a 7-0 record, they’re still the No. 4 team at this point in the year.

Recently, Oregon coach Chip Kelly joked that the BCS computers do not like Oregon because they get shut off late at night, before the Ducks play on the west coast. Whatever the reason, the BCS computers continue to attack the Ducks lack of a swamp, or a connection to the Gulf of Mexico, or a questionable seat at the BCS table as an independent.

Chip Kelly's Tuesday Media Conference
EUGENE, ORE., -- Oregon Head Coach Chip Kelly held his weekly media conference on Tuesday as the Ducks prepare for Colorado on Saturday at Autzen Stadium.
Colorado-Oregon Preview
Despite Oregon having beaten its first seven opponents by an average of nearly five touchdowns, it is currently outside the top two of the BCS standings.
The second-ranked Ducks probably won't gain much ground if the status quo holds and they post another lopsided victory over visiting Colorado in a Pac-12 matchup Saturday.
Oregon improved to 4-0 in the conference with a 43...
