The first preseason college football poll came out Monday, and the Ducks are ranked seventh.
The Coaches Poll named Texas as the number one team. The Big Ten squads from Ohio State and Penn State came in second and third.
Oregon didn’t have any first place votes, but made the top 10 for the second year in a row.
The Ducks were undefeated in the regular season last year, but lost to Ohio State in the Rose Bowl.
The results of the first AP College Football Poll are set for Aug. 11.
