Aug. 31: Nicholls State
Oregon faces Nicholls State in a nice warm-up game in a scrimmage-like feel. The Ducks should have their way with this team and move on to the next.

Virginia is losing starting quarterback Michael Rocco and running back Perry Jones which makes the offense look a bit grim in 2013. Coming off a 4-8 record in 2012 just means that they have the possibility of finishing even worse without some key offensive players.
PREDICTION: Oregon 42, Virginia 14
A showdown with a lesser SEC team will prove to be a good tune-up game for the start of the Pac-12 season. Tennessee finished 1-7 last season in the SEC and proved that they had trouble beating top teams.
PREDICTION: Tennessee 24, Oregon 45
California had just an overall awful 2012 season. Finishing 3-9 was an underachievement, to say the least, but hiring former Louisiana Tech head coach, Sonny Dykes, was a step in the right direction. Too bad they will need some time to adjust to the new coach.
PREDICTION: Cal 21, Oregon 42
Oregon will make the Colorado Buffaloes look pretty silly in this matchup. The Buffs were just awful last season and although they are returning 17 starters and under new leadership, there won't be a significant improvement from their 1-11 mark.
PREDICTION: Oregon 52, Colorado 10
Washington proved it can beat the best last season in their upset win over Stanford. They will be playing at home, but I just don't think their defense will be able to stop the potent Oregon attack.
PREDICTION: Oregon 31, Washington 27
Oregon will likely have its way with yet another team as Washington comes to Eugene to take on the Ducks. The Cougars haven't been a solid football program in a while and they are hoping new head coach Mike Leach will turn them around.
PREDICTION: Washington State 15, Oregon 45
Jim Mora put UCLA on the map last season with a 9-5 record and yet another appearance in the Pac-12 title game. However, they won't be able to keep up with the Ducks in what could end up being a shootout.
PREDICTION: UCLA 31, Oregon 41
The Stanford Cardinal may be the only true tough test on the season for the Ducks. It will be tough to take down the reigning Rose Bowl champs on the road and with a devastating defense from the Cardinal, this could be the Ducks most frustrating game all year.
PREDICTION: Oregon 21, Stanford 24
The Utah Utes had a disappointing 5-7 season in 2012. However, they will likely be a bit improved with a returning starting quarterback in Travis Wilson and running back Kelvin York. Not enough firepower to take down the dangerous Ducks.
PREDICTION: Utah 13, Oregon 43
This game will definitely be a high-scoring one. Arizona is coached by the infamous Rich Rodriguez and he has turned the Wildcats into a legitimate offensive power. Both teams are fun to watch and this could be a scary road game for the Ducks.
PREDICTION: Oregon 37, Arizona 31
Oregon State will go into this in-state rivalry ranked higher than they have been in a while. The Beavers will likely put up a good fight, but quarterback Sean Mannion and running back Storm Woods will likely fall a bit short when the game enters crunch time.
PREDICTION: Oregon State 24, Oregon 35
Oregon finishes 11-1 and makes their second straight BCS bowl game.
