. . . Big Ten power rankings. . 515. 2. . .
The Ducks are the top newcomer to the Big Ten next season with their roster looking pretty good under Dan Lanning. After coming short in the Pac-12 in 2023, the Ducks have done their homework in the offseason to make a splash in their first season in the Big Ten.
Oregon didn't bring anyone in during the spring window and lost four guys, but altogether, the Ducks have the third-best transfer class in nation.
It might seem a little crazy to have Oregon this high in the power rankings as a new team in the Big Ten, but they have won this offseason they are ready to compete right away. They just might give Ohio State and Michigan a run for their money.
