Why don't the Ducks get enough credit?

What is it with the University of Oregon Ducks Football team that turns people off? Is it the yellow jerseys? Whatever the reason, oh well. They have a nicely rounded team, a few minor tweaks were needed, but still, they can compete.
They have a QB that is considered to be one of the best in school history, behind Joey Harrington.
They have a rotation of HB's that can pound the line and razzle-dazzle any team.
Their WR corps can out jump and out run any team.
Their Defensive line is tough, its considered to be one of the best lines in the nation, its anchored by haloti ngata, a 300+ lbs, samoan who can scare the crap out of even the most experienced QB's, he is teamed up with Devan Long who can be a monster.
Their linebackers are decent, they stuff the run easily.
According to the last i heard, the ducks will be at full strenght, no one on DL. My assumptions seem to be correct, that generally there is a bias concerning certain teams. In 2001, the Ducks, undefeated, got "kicked in the groin", and passed over for Nebraska, which, turns out, got their butts handed to them by Miami, and on a silver platter. The ducks pasted Colorado, period. Why were they passed over? I don't know...but i have my assumptions.
The main weakness is the Secondary, although the leader, Aaron Gipson is an interception machine. Its going to show next week versus USC. They're coming to our house, autzen stadium; where great teams come to die.
