text: I always expect this kind of schedule manipulation analysis from fans but not a journalist! Nebraska was NOT RANKED when Oregon played them so the Ducks did not lose to a Top 10 ranked team....they lost to an UNRANKED team in both the AP and Coaches Poll...Oregon was the ranked team. To now suggest Oregon lost to a Top 10 team is typical rah rah small town journalism. The Ducks have played against ONE ranked team this season...UW. Oregon could also go through the season with only ONE game(UW) against a ranked team on their schedule...at the time Oregon played them. Nebraska, Colorado and WSU were not ranked when they played Oregon. Also a quick check shows Nebraska with still Wisconsin and Ohio State on their schedule in back to back weeks ON THE ROAD. If you are going to play "let's look at the schedule" and make silly projections in October, then to be fair look at scheduleS for all the teams in Oregon's picture.
