Currently sitting atop these rankings is none other than the Oregon Ducks. In question, however, is whether or not they can maintain their position. What about your Pac-12 school of choice? Here’s the objective data, commentary and individual school …
Much like recruiting has its dead periods, college football news has its dead periods – and between post-regular season and pre-bowl games, is one of its quietest.
