Tuesday Duck Links

Oregon's Byron Marshall (#9) dives for a touchdown last Saturday vs. Ark. St. 

Oregon moved up to #4 in the latest polls which were released today.  I was happy they jumped OU.  I smell a fraud when it comes to the sooners.  To see the complete list go here.

Aaron Fentress of the Oregonian takes a sneak peek at Fresno State, because well, that's what he does, and he does it very well.

Speaking of Fresno State, Vegas like them too much...Oregon opens as 33.5 favorites.

Here's an interesting story about how an all men's college in Queens adopted the Ducks as their team!

Several of the talented freshman on Oregon's roster saw significant playing time, here's how Charles Fischer (also from fishduck) graded them in the Oregonian.

Here's a good piece by the Oregonian's Aaron Fentress (again!) on Kyle Long's (son of Howie Long) first game as a Duck at Autzen stadium.

My Top 5 In College Football For Next Year

   I know it's ridiculously early but everybody else is already coming out with their top teams for next year, so here are my top 5:  

1. Alabama
2. LSU
3. Oregon
4. OU
5. USC

   The thing these teams all have in common is that, while they're losing a few pieces from this year, they're also replacing them.  These teams don't rebuild, they reload.  All of them have talent waiting to step up and I don't expect them to miss a beat.  All of them are expected by most of the experts to be as good, or in Oregon's case, better than this year.
