9. Oregon

The Flag-Bearer – Dan Fouts
The Ensemble – Chris Miller, Bill Musgrave, Dennis Dixon, Joey Harrington, Akili Smith, Danny O’Neil, Tony Graziani, Kellen Clemens and A.J. Feeley

Like much of the Pac-10, Oregon has never had trouble developing quality quarterbacks. It all began with Fouts, the All-Pac 8 player who went on to a Hall of Fame career with the San Diego Chargers. Miller, Harrington and Smith each had all-conference seasons prior to getting selected in the first round of the NFL draft, and Dixon likely would've won the Heisman had he not blown out his knee. Smith bombed, but Miller threw 123 touchdown passes in an injury-plagued career and Harrington, while a disappointment, hung around the league.

Musgrave may be the most underrated of the prominent Oregon quarterbacks. He was a four-year starter and three-year captain of the Ducks. He closed his career as the program’s all-time leading passer, while setting 15 school records. At the time of his graduation, Musgrave’s 60 touchdown passes ranked him No. 2 in Pac-10 history behind John Elway.

PAC-10 has 3 of the top 10 on the list, and 3 of the 5 honorable mentions... Big 12 has 2 (NEBRASKA??? Now there's a pass happy school!), ACC has 2, and the SEC has a grand total of ... 1.

What? No Boise State or Hawaii?

The Bronco and Warrior fans must be outraged!

One wonders what Tajh Boyd and his family would think of those stats. Maybe somebody should send it to his mom and ask her how she feels about sending her son to a conference that does not develope quarterbacks just so he can be close to home.

Do kittens still die every time someone reads CFN?

Yes, and the suffering is even greater as time goes on.

Of course, we all know what the SEC fall-back explanation for this is.
