Face it: we should have won the National Championship Game last season. It was in our grasp, and if it wasn’t for a super human drive by Cam Newton on Auburn’s final possession of the game then Oregon would have walked away with the title. While it may sting, though, what is in the past is in the past. While 2010 was a great season for the Ducks, 2011 could prove to be stand out as well. With much of the top rated offense in all of college football coming back, the Ducks could find it’s way to the top of the new look Pac 12.

Looking at the Ducks schedule, it’s not going to be an easy road for the Ducks, which may actually be a good thing. A week one match up with LSU means that there is no time to doddle with a cakewalk schedule. Even a second week match against Nevada (who beat Boise State last season) is not going to be easy, by any means. The Ducks Pac 12 schedule has road trips to Stanford and Cal on it, as well as home games against new conference member Colorado and the sure to be improved USC Trojans. If the Ducks are going to win a title they are going to have to do it against the elite.Want to know more? Go ahead: College Football Predictions 2011: Oregon Ducks Will Not Return to Title Game
