The Ducks gave up 34 points against Arkansas State in a 23 point win at home.
Alabama gave up 14 points against Michigan in a 27 point neutral site win.

WTF?

Nobody besides USC, Bama, and LSU had a first place vote last week in that poll. How in the world could anyone possibly think that Oregon outperformed any of those teams? It happened, though. Someone literally moved one or more of those teams down so that Oregon could be the new #1 in their poll.

Oregon literally had the least impressive performance of any of those four teams yet they moved to the top of one coach's poll.

#1 Alabama
#2-124 Everyone else
