A couple of injuries to Jordan Burch and Terrance Ferguson have cropped up, but this is where the quality of depth shows itself. The ailments haven’t hurt the Ducks as a team yet. Both players are seemingly close to returning and that will only bolster the Ducks’ chances at completing the impressive run that they currently are on.

Beyond the No. 1 ranking that resides next to their name, the Oregon football Ducks (8-0) are looking like the team to beat right now. They have corrected their early-season stumbles and are thriving on both sides of the ball.
