BCS SEVEN SAMURAI #3 OREGON (8-1)

Strengths: Their Spread offense is masterful. The hire of Chip Kelly as Offensive Coordinator has turned Dennis Dixon into a Heisman favorite. Jonathan Stewart is so underrated, he’s not even a top three Jon Stewart. Oh, and Jaison Williams can manhandle a cornerback.

Weaknesses: As good as the offense is, the defense is about as bad. The fron seven does not handle the run very well, and giving up 270 YPG through the air does not insipire and electrify either. And an opportunistic defense can derail Dixon’s Heisman run if his knee injury doesn’t.

The Superstar: Dixon

Names to Know: Stewart, Williams, and Head Coach Mike Belloti.

Best chance to get beat: Nov 24th at UCLA

BCS Title Game Chances: 60% (They can absolutely run the table, but they need help. If you’re a Ducks fan or just on the bandwagon? Root for Michigan like you root for the guy to get the girl.)

The Incredible Hulk. You want to talk about Jekeyll and Hyde pop culture? You want to talk Bruce Banner. The Defense is repressed. They do not get creative. They bend but don’t break. Truly, they are Bruce Banner. But the offense? Quite simply? DENNIS DIXON SMASH! And even if he misses time? It will not skip a beat.
