Oregon Ducks move up slightly in US LBM Coaches Poll following Week 1 action

A blowout victory in Week 1 gave the Ducks enough juice to move up in the US LBM Coaches Poll.

With only one matchup between ranked teams in college football this week, and only a small handful of ranked teams losing, there was little movement in the US LBM Coaches Poll after Week 1.

For the Oregon Ducks, though, who got off to a blazing start and won 81-7 over the Portland State Vikings, that movement saw them jump up a bit in the standings, where they now rank as the No. 13 team in the nation.


Here are the full standings that came out on Tuesday morning:

While Oregon’s win was impressive from a scoring standpoint, the fact that it came against a porous FCS team leaves a lot still to be figured out about this team. Fortunately, we will likely get a good idea of how good this squad can be under Dan Lanning with a more competitive game this coming weekend against the Texas Tech Red Raiders.

The Ducks will travel down to Lubbock and try to get a 2-0 start to the season, while Texas Tech does whatever it can to avoid an 0-2 start after falling to Wyoming in double-overtime to open the season.
