Pathetic-10 no more
■Oregon’s No. 9 national
ranking leads five Pac-10
teams in the APTop-25
By Scott Pesznecker
Oregon Daily Emerald
For the first time in half-a-centu
ry, The Associated Press said the
Oregon football team is better than
No. 10 in the country.
The Ducks, debuting in the poll
at No. 20 last week, jumped up to
the No. 9 spot Sunday after beating
Washington 23-16 at Autzen Stadi
um on Saturday. Oregon is now the
highest-ranked team in the Pac-10,
besting No. 13 Washington, No. 16
UCLA, No. 18 Southern California
and No. 23 Oregon State.
“Certainly the rankings are excit
ing,” Oregon head coach Mike Bel
lotti said on Sunday. “It’s a mid
term grade report in the sense that
it means we’re doing all right, but I
also don’t put a lot of stock in it. I
do feel that it’s much more impor
tant how you finish than how you
start.”
The last time the Ducks were
ranked as high as ninth by The As
sociated Press was Nov. 30, 1948,
when the Pacific Coast Conference
co-champions went 9-2 under head
coach Jim Aiken and lost in the
Cotton Bowl, 21-13, to Southern
Methodist.
The highest any Oregon football
team has ever been in the polls was
Len Casanova’s 1964 squad, which
went undefeated in its first six
games, rising to No. 7 on Oct. 27,
1964. However, Casanova’s Ducks
failed to go to the postseason that
year after winning just one of their
last four games.
If Oregon beats the Trojans in two
weeks, it could tie or beat the
school record of its highest-ranked
football team.
But Bellotti knows how deceiv
ing the national polls can be. After
all, Wisconsin, ranked No. 5 when
it beat Oregon on Sept. 9, is now
ranked No. 24 — one spot behind
the Beavers.
“I’ve told [my team] that the most
important thing is surviving suc
cess,” Bellotti said. “Handling pros
perity as well as adversity, making
sure that we work our tails off to
live up to that ranking.”
The Ducks aren’t the only nearby
football team making a splash in
the national pool. Oregon State, re
garded as a Pac-10 pushover for
years, entered the polls this week at
No. 23 after stunning then-No. 8
USC in Corvallis, 31-21.
Certainly the rankings
are exciting. It's a midterm
grade report in the sense
that it means we're doing
all right, but I also don't
put a lot of stock in it
Mike Bellotti
Oregon football coach JJ
Oregon State hasn’t been in the
Top-25 since being ranked No. 13
in 1968.
“I think Oregon State is for real,”
Bellotti said. “They have a great de
fense and a great running back. I
still think USC has arguably the
best talent in the conference.”
Southern California was ranked
eighth after a convincing 29-5 vic
tory over Penn State, followed by
wins against Colorado and San Jose
State.
Meanwhile, UCLA, considering
itself to be a national-title con
tender when ranked No. 6 two
weeks ago, slipped from No. 15 to
No. 16 after scraping by unranked
Arizona State, 38-31, in Los Ange
les. The Bruins’ slide this week, de
spite the win, can be attributed to
the defense allowing 21 Sun Devil
points before coming back to win.
The Bruins were dropped from
No. 6 to No. 15 when the Ducks
beat them, 29-10, at Autzen Stadi
um on Sept. 23. The Huskies expe
rienced a drop as well after their
loss to Oregon, from No. 6 to No.
