There's a First: Oregon Ducks #1 in AP Poll

For the first time in school history, Oregon is #1 in the country for college football. The Oregon Ducks are sitting at 6-0 and were voted just ahead of Boise State in the AP Poll. In the BCS, the computers currently have Oklahoma #1 and Oregon #2. I don't think a lot of people expected the Oregon Ducks to be #1 after quarterback Jeremiah Masoli was dismissed from the team in the offseason. Oregon's remaining games include UCLA, USC, Washington, Cal, Arizona, and Oregon State. Not an easy schedule.

Troubles on the Oregon Ducks football team

After Jeremiah Masoli was convicted of second-degree burglary last Monday, he was suspended for the 2010 season with the Oregon Ducks. Coach Chip Kelly will be meeting with him to decide his fate for the spring practices, if he has any future with the team at all. Masoli was given the option to redshirt the season and come back next year, but nothing has been decided quite yet. Masoli was up for the Heisman Trophy position, but I suspect that has already been decided. One big no.

The Oregon Ducks are a little shaken right now with being thrown such a curve ball, and the coaches will have to decide soon who the starting quarterback is going to be. There is a huge competition between Nate Costa, a senior at Oregon, and sophomore Darron Thomas. We'll have to wait and see what happens with that one. LaMichael James is also suspended for the season opener for charges of a DUI. Let's hope the team doesn't completely fall to pieces.
