The Oregon Ducks are ranked fourth in SB Nation's final preseason BlogPoll of 2012 after garnering one first-place vote. Chip Kelly's team heads into the first regular season game behind the No. 1 USC Trojans, No. 2 Alabama Crimson Tide and No. 3 LSU Tigers.

The most noticeable movement from the previous BlogPoll came from the Tigers, who dropped from first place to third after cornerback Tyrann Mathieu was dismissed from the squad. The Ducks stayed steady at fourth place.

Stanford was the only other Pac-12 team to make the Top 25, as the Cardinal came in at No. 21.
