I see oregon winning straight up with Justin Hurbert as their leading quarterback. It my eyes alwasy take the points to be safe. When it comes to pre-rankings. Oregon comining into the college season is ranked #12 Oregon vs Auburn who is ranked # 17. 

The battle to replace Jarrett Stidham is down to two players. In early May, coach Gus Malzahn indicated Gatewood and Bo Nix were ahead of Malik Willis and Cord Sandberg and would battle for the job in the fall. Both Gatewood and Nix are short on experience, but talent certainly isn’t an issue. Gatewood ranked as the No. 49 prospect in the 2018 signing class, while Nix checked in at No. 33 in the ’19 haul. Gatewood only played in one contest in his debut, attempting one pass and recording 28 rushing yards versus Purdue in the Music City Bowl. Nix accounted for over 12,000 total yards in his high school career and is regarded as the better passer. The battle between Gatewood and Nix could continue into the season. LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE GOING WITH FRESHMEN QB bo nix

12. Winning the offseason doesn’t always translate into on-field success, but not many teams had a better one than Oregon. The Ducks landed the Pac-12’s top recruiting class, and a couple of key veterans – Troy Dye, Herbert and three starters up front – decided to return to Eugene instead of pursing the NFL. After taking over the starting job midway through 2016 and missing time due to injury in ’17, Herbert played in all 13 games for the first time in his career last fall. The Oregon native posted a prolific junior season, passing for 3,151 yards and 29 touchdowns to eight picks, while adding 166 yards and two scores on the ground. Finding a No. 1 receiver to replace Dillon Mitchell is a priority this offseason, but all signs point to Herbert closing out his career with a huge 2019 season and a run at the Pac-12 title. 

Auburn plays in the SEC with elite defensese like LSU#6, ALABAMA#2, GEORGIA#3, FLORIDA#8, Texas AM#11. There are 5 SEC teams in the college football pre-rankings. ALl that is said auburn plays in a tough division. They have the experience to bet Oregon. Oregon plays in the pac-12 divsion which is up and coming at the moment. The pac 12 is getting more competitive and it is up and rising.

Oregon is ranked 12, where washington#10, Utah#15, Washington State#21, Standford #23. 4 pac 12 teams are in the pre-rankings, where the sec all teams are ranked in the top 10. Oregon has a top QB where auburn is still deciding which qb to play in the first week. Anthing can happen during the first weeek of college preseason. Every team can come up and Win!

Anthony Schwartz, sophomore* OR for AUburn is out for week 1: OREGON HAS RETURNING OLINE AS WELL AS AUBURN. THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BATTLES OF THE QUARTERBACK TO SEE WHICH ONE CAN LEAD THEM. IM GOING WITH HELBERT 

What do you like so much about this play? Is it the line? Returning talent? Coaching? I am an SEC homer (Roll Tide) but follow Pac 12 as I lived on Colorado until a recent move.

My guy says SEC, neutral site, big stage at beginning of year is normally a win. That additional .5 would give me pause (if I was to get an Auburn, I would probably buy down to 3, Auburn likes to screw me).

Just like to see what people are thinking. I know Oregon has Herbert, Auburn newbie is a legacy who is highly thought of with a solid returning OL, and their D should be solid. Coaching advantage would go to Oregon no matter who was coaching (lol, I couldnt resist).

Care to share any insights? Thats a big old wager right of the bat this season.

You must have been posting your logic while I was typing lol. Thanks for your insight.

Ive been looking at this play for over 2 months. Yes Oregon plays in the pac-12. Sec is way better with their defense. But Justin has something to prove in this game. Many people are declining on Justin not becoming a top qb. Auburn d line is great but they only got derrick brown. If their online can stop brown there is a chance Justin can make his throws. The only thing that worries me is oregons receivers. They have their returning running back. Bo NIXON IS A FREASHMEN QB WHO HAS A LOT TO PROVE. Aubrun has not started a freshmen qb sine 1946. There is going to be a lot of pressure on the kid. Don't get me wrong I can see auburn winning the game as well, which is why Im taking the points. I like this play a lot is the reason why Justin is coming back his senior year to prove a point. He would been an easily top 10 qb in this years draft maybe ahead of Daniel Jones. Oregon is the top pac 12 team this year to prove their point. If they lose this game I have nothing to say, my points are wrong.

yes I understand that I meant to say leading qb lol my words were wrong

The pac 12 has 4 teams that are ranked in the top 25 for a long time, with Utah, washingotn, standford, wahington state, and Oregon. There is no evidence of that you are right. This is just my insight from what I saw last year from Herbert. And yeah season just started, we don't know whats going to happen. LIke I said I see aburn winning by 3 or losing, which is why im taking the points to be safe.
