As we get back into the world of spring football across the college landscape, it’s become common to see more and more predictions come about.
Earlier in the year when the full schedules came out for the Oregon Ducks and other Pac-12 teams, we went about predicting season-long records, toughest schedules, and eventual bowl game appearances. Now some of the national sites are getting in on the action as well.
After a successful 2022 season under Dan Lanning, the Ducks boast some high expectations going into 2023. Though the conference is loaded, Oregon is expected to be among the top teams out west, and has the potential to compete for a Pac-12 championship, and potentially a spot in the College Football Playoff.
Earlier in the year, we predicted that the Ducks would be 11-1, winning the Pac-12 championship. It’s ambitious, to be sure, but also entirely possible should we see another stellar season from Bo Nix, and an improved defensive performance.
So how does College Football News view the Ducks’ season-long output this coming year? You may be surprised. Take a look.
