SI taps Stanford ahead of Oregon (or does it?)

[RSSBot]

By Ted Miller

While Sports Illustrated picked Oregon to win the Pac-12 -- over Utah in the first conference championship game -- it ranked the Ducks behind Stanford in its preseason top-25.

SI tapped Stanford fourth and Oregon fifth in its top-25. It also has Arizona State 17th and USC 20th.

Alabama is No. 1. Oregon's season-opening opponent, LSU, is No. 3.

This actually isn't incongruous. The SI.com Pac-12 preview was done by highly respect Eugene Register-Guard columnist George "The Animal" Schroeder, while the top-25 is a magazine thing that operates independently.

Pac-12 nonconference foes in the top-25 other than LSU include No. 9 Nebraska (Washington), No. 12 Wisconsin (Oregon State), No. 13 Oklahoma State (Arizona) No. 15 Notre Dame (USC, Stanford), No. 19 Ohio State (Colorado) and No. 22 Missouri (Arizona State).

Does any other AQ conference play eight nonconference games versus top-25 foes?

What do* you think?

Here's SI's top-25.

1. Alabama
2. Oklahoma
3. LSU
4. Stanford
5. Oregon
6. Florida State
7. South Carolina
8. Boise State
9. Nebraska
10. Arkansas
11. Texas A&M
12. Wisconsin
13. Oklahoma State
14. Michigan State
15. Notre Dame
16. Virginia Tech
17. Arizona State
18. TCU
19. Ohio State
20. USC
21. Mississippi State
22. Missouri
23. West Virginia
24. Auburn
25. Florida

I'd tap Oregon over Stanford. Different strokes and all that, though.

I can't believe you've had that kind of luck at the trannie bars.
