The Oregon Ducks actually have a bit of a minefield of a schedule to navigate in Pac-12 play. The North has risen to be the stronger of the two divisions, so the Ducks will have to be extra careful about holding their own within the conference.
After the warm up against UC Davis, Oregon must handle two Power five opponents. They first must beat Virginia in Autzen before tripping to Lincoln to face Nebraska. Both of those are winnable games, particularly with how the Ducks have dealt with Mike Riley during his time at Oregon State most of the last decade.
