Good

• Oregon landed its first wide receiver of the 2014 recruiting class, as four-star wideout Jalen Brown made his intentions clear via Twitter on Monday evening. The senior out of Mountain Point High School (Phoenix, Ariz.) tweeted, “QUACK, QUACK” with an accompanying photo of himself in an Oregon jacket at Autzen Stadium, making him Oregon’s fourth four-star recruit of this year’s class. Brown stands at 6-foot-2, weighs 185 pounds and was targeted by several other schools, including Arizona, Oregon State, Stanford, UCLA, USC, Washington, Ohio State and Michigan. Brown is the No. 15-ranked wide receiver according to Rivals.com and the third-best player out of the state of Arizona.
• CBS Sports released its Top 25 (And One) Men’s College Basketball Rankings on Monday, and the panel of analysts collectively ranked Oregon No. 16. The highest of the panelists on Oregon was former ESPN analyst Doug Gottlieb, who ranked the Ducks at No. 8 overall. Oregon was the second-highest ranked team in the Pac-12 behind Arizona, who was ranked No. 6. Also representing the Pac-12 was UCLA at No. 19 and Colorado at No. 25. Kentucky was determined to be the No. 1 team by the CBS panel.

Bad

• The Oregon men’s golf team faded to a sixth-place finish at the Alister Mackenzie Invitational after a disappointing final day of action. Oregon was 14-under after the first two days of play, tied for second overall with Arizona State in the team scoring but shot a 292 (+4) on Tuesday. Sulman Raza led the way for Oregon, shooting a 74 (+2), which left him for 12th over the three rounds. The Ducks will have a couple weeks to recuperate before heading to Newport Beach, Calif. to wrap up fall play at the Gifford Collegiate.
• When two top-25 teams, one of which is the No. 2 team in the country, meet for a matchup so highly anticipated that ESPN College GameDay covers it, you might expect it to be one of Saturday’s most-watched games. That wasn’t quite the case this past weekend, as the Oregon-Washington game drew just the fifth-highest overnight rating among college football tilts on Saturday. Oregon-Washington drew 1.76 million viewers, the second most by a Fox Sports 1 program since the channel’s launch in August and beat out the Fox game, Baylor-Kansas State head to head. However, the Pac-12 showdown was overshadowed and drew a lower overnight rating than Texas-Oklahoma (ABC), Florida-LSU (CBS), Texas A&M-Mississippi (ESPN) and Michigan-Penn State (ESPN).

Ugly

• Oklahoma wide receiver Trey Metoyer was charged with two felony counts of indecent exposure on Tuesday at the Cleveland County Courthouse. Metoyer reportedly exposed himself and performed lewd acts in front of women on two separate occasions, the first occurring on Aug. 29 and the second taking place on Sept. 17. Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops stated that he does not anticipate that Metoyer will return to the team. The sophomore wide receiver caught two passes for 18 yards this season and recorded one touchdown.
