Oregon tabbed 15th in preseason AP Top 25
Oregon finished 15th in the final Associated Press Top 25 poll last season.
The Ducks check in at No. 15 overall in the first AP Top 25 poll and are one of five teams within the Pac-12 to make the preseason list. USC (No. 6), Washington (No. 10), Utah (No. 14) and Oregon State (No. 18) are the others. Week 2 opponent Texas Tech also just missed out on the top 25 as the team with the most votes outside the list. Only the SEC (6) has more teams on the list than the Pac-12, which is tied with the Big Ten.
In a revised list factoring conference realignment, the Big Ten and SEC are tied with eight teams apiece in this year's preseason AP Top 25.
