Oregon is the 5th worst team on ESPN's bottom 10 list. Even Washington State isn't on the list.
Rank Team Record Comment
1. Western Kentucky 0-1 "Don't Let Me Down": After they put up only seven points and 83 total yards against the Vols, the Bottom 10 is confident the Hilltoppers won't let us down this season.
2. Eastern Michigan 0-1 "Ticket To Ride": A home loss to Army seems to indicate the Eagles will have a season-long ticket to ride in the Bottom 10. And they might be ticketed for a long ride.
3. New Mexico State 0-1 "Eight Days A Week": Even if new coach DeWayne Walker worked the Aggies eight days a week, that might not be enough to get them out of the Bottom 10 in '09.
4. Tulane 0-1 "If I Needed Someone": The Green Wave need someone. In fact, it looks like the Green Wave need a bunch of someones this season.
5. Oregon 0-1 "A Hard Day's Night": The offense struggled. LeGarrette Blount threw that punch. It was a tough first game for new coach Chip Kelly and the Ducks.
6. Virginia 0-1 "Do You Want To Know A Secret": Losing at home to William & Mary will land you in the Bottom 10 -- and put your coach in hot water.
7. Temple 0-1 "Twist And Shout": The Owls definitely are twisting and shouting after losing to neighbor (and FCS team) Villanova, but it's not the feel-good kind the Beatles hit inspired.
8. Duke 0-1 "Come Together": It looked like the Blue Devils had come together around David Cutcliffe, but a loss to Richmond indicates that is not the case -- at least yet.
9. Ball State 0-1 "I Want You": The Bottom 10 does want the Cardinals. We want them so bad, especially after a home loss to preseason No. 1 North Texas.
10. Washington 0-1 "Getting Better": A nation-worst 15 straight losses keeps the Huskies on the list, but don't expect U-Dub to be a part of our rocked band for much longer.
Waiting list: ACC (4-6 nonconference record), Florida Atlantic (0-1), Florida State's clock management, Georgia's offense, Hawks love (0-1), Illinois (0-1), Indiana (1-0), Louisiana-Monroe (0-1), Marshall (1-0), Miami (Ohio) (0-1), New Mexico (0-1), Rice (0-1), Washington State (0-1).
