Being Number One Isn't All Its Quacked Up To Be

The last two weeks have proven to be a graveyard for number one ranked teams in college football. Last week Alabama was humbled 34-17 by the South Carolina Gamecocks and yesterday their replacements at the top, the Ohio State Buckeyes, were pummeled by #18 Wisconsin Badgers 31-18. It's not easy being the best, you end up having a big old target painted on your back. So maybe the Oregon should be a little scared right now having being voted into the #1 spot.

Try telling the Ducks they need to be worried and that'll ruffle a few feathers! No heartburn happening in Eugene. For the first time in their history the Oregon are number one, on top of the college football pile. Still the Ducks are playing UCLA and USC in their next two games, both good teams in their own right, capable of beating anyone on the day. But will Oregon be looking over their collective shoulders trying to catch a glimpse of the hungry packs chasing them down? Nope, I doubt it, they will just keep on trucking, doing what they do best, although flying under the radar will now be kind of difficult.
