Two players picked preseason second team honors, Eldridge and Roberts. A handful of honorable mentions.
I will be honest, I am entirely unsure if this is a fair estimation or not. I think our uncertain QB situation is going a long way to this ranking followed by our still struggling DL situation.

I think our uncertain QB situation is going a long way to this ranking followed by our still struggling DL situation. There must be a load of great linebackers in the conference if Speights isn't 2nd team or honorable mention! Also, I disagree about the uncertain QB situation being a negative. It was when Connor Blount was competing with Darrell Garrettson or Nick Mitchell, but not when a returning starter is competing with a Pac-12 honored transfer!

This is about what I expected, and this might sounds a little strange but I think it's a sign of a little respect for the Beavs to be picked ahead of WSU.
Personally, I think we are capable of finishing higher than 5th. However, I could understand that we are picked 5th. Would you pick a team that was 2-5 in 2020 and hasn't been to a bowl game in 8 seasons, especially that Cal, Stanford, UW and UO are all solid teams. It's up to the Beavs to prove everyone wrong.

All it takes is 2 or 3 ‘upsets’ in a 12 game season. Punk the ducks at their place, this year …. and that is one out of the way !

This is always what happens to the Beavs even when they were pretty good with Riley. If you look at the previous seasons performance it's understandable. Then they also factor in recruiting which while getting better is still at the bottom of the pac on paper. I think they will surprise a lot of people if the defense is decent and start to generate some turnovers. The offense has all the pieces to potentially be the best in the league. I don't think you can overstate the importance of the entire Oline coming back. Should help make whoever's the QB and RBs and make them look good.

What do they know?
And I'll leave it at that. Last time I mentioned the above line, I also said something about fingers and wins. We will not go into that.

We need to do something to earn it. 2-5 last year ain't going do it. I think the talent is better than what they are predicting our record will be +1 Transfers into the OSU program are highly rated athletes ready to play. Recruits from the last few years are ready to play. Freshman talent is building, and a few of those players will likely see the field in 2021. Beavers will win 4 games in Pac12 play (maybe 5). I think the Beavers might surprise some folks with a win at Purdue. I read this thread - it still stings today when Beaver fans reference the OSU win over Oregon in 2020. Yes, my misery persists.
