“It’s going to be crazy,’’ Ducks quarterback Jeremiah Masoli said. “It’s going to be one of those Autzen nights times 100.’’

Oregon (6-1, 4-0) sits alone atop the conference standings, threatening the hold the Trojans (6-1, 3-1) have had on the Pac-10 title for the past seven years.

The Ducks have won six straight since a season-opening 19-8 loss at Boise State, a game that got uglier when running back LeGarrette Blount punched a Broncos player as he was leaving the field. Blount was suspended for the season but Oregon moved on, its biggest win a 42-3 victory over then-No. 6 California Sept. 26 in Eugene.

Masoli has recently answered critics who claimed he was too dependent on his rushing ability. He’s passed for 905 yards and five touchdowns, with just two interceptions. Freshman running back LaMichael James, who replaced Blount, is averaging 105 yards per game.

There’s no drop-off on defense, either. Oregon has allowed just three touchdowns to Pac-10 opponents this season.

In Athens, Ga., top-ranked Florida will take on the Bulldogs, but the Southeastern Conference rivalry has lost some of its luster as Georgia (4-3, 3-2) could be headed to its worst season of the Mark Richt era.

Being the fourth-best team in perhaps the nation’s best conference is nothing to be ashamed of, but it’s a little tough to stomach in these parts. After all, this is the team that reached the SEC championship game three times in Richt’s first five seasons as coach, winning two of them.

An upset over Florida would go a long way toward turning around the image of the program. Don’t think the Bulldogs haven’t considered the possibilities, though the Gators are a 15-point favorite to extend their domination of the rivalry with a 17th win in the last 20 meetings.

Richt and Florida counterpart Urban Meyer will have to be careful of what they say about the officiating.

After two weeks of high-profile criticism of officials by SEC coaches, the conference is cracking down, announcing yesterday that commissioner Mike Slive has been given full discretion to hand out fines or suspensions.

Three SEC coaches in two weeks received reprimands for ripping officials, and an officiating crew was suspended for calling penalties not supported by video evidence. But Slive said the criticism by coaches has to stop.

“We fully expect and anticipate that we will have the full cooperation of our coaches from this day forward,’’ Slive said.
