5. Oregon

2008 record: 10-3.

Final AP ranking: No. 10.

Key losses: Running back Jeremiah Johnson, defensive back Patrick Chung.

Key keeper: Quarterback Jeremiah Masoli.

Comment: Lose one Jeremiah, keep another. Truth is, no one wanted to play Oregon at the end of the year. The Ducks' offense scored 55, 65 and 42 points in closing wins against Arizona, Oregon State and Oklahoma State. Masoli is an emerging superstar. Oregon opens at Boise State followed by home games against Purdue, Utah and Cal. A 4-0 start against that lineup puts Ducks in serious national title contention -- plus they get USC in Eugene.
