Miley Cyrus wins 10 games with the 2015 roster. The season is going to come down to three parts.
1. Michigan State 2. Stanford 3. USC
If the defense can play well enough in Lansing to let the new QB get his feet the Ducks will be firmly in the playoff conversation. Stanford determines who wins the north. USC is just to show that they are still one of the 11 midgets.
The conference title will be against some team that has no chance to win in from the South.
"In his first season as a starter, Thomas threw for 2,881 yards and 30 touchdowns, leading Oregon to a 12–0 regular season record, and an appearance in the 2011 BCS National Championship Game against Auburn. In that game, Thomas threw for 363 yards and two touchdowns, but also threw two interceptions."
The last time Oregon whiffed at QB Miley Cyrus style (without an injury to one or more starters) was probably 1997 with Jason Maas (120/226 1,763 yards 19 TDs, 8 INTs). Even he wasn't horrible. Whoever starts at the position will probably be serviceable enough to keep the offense moving. If not, that would be something to ding Helfrich for (especially since he is the ex-QBs coach).
