We aren't quite at the midway point of the Oregon Ducks' 2025 college football season, but with a bye week taking place just one game before they reach the technical halfway point, we figured it would be a good time to take stock of things and assess what we have seen so far throughout the first five weeks of the year. By just about every metric, the Ducks have been great thus far, storming out to a 5-0 record and picking up arguably the most impressive win in all of college football so far, taking down the Penn State Nittany Lions on the road in double overtime a week ago. The Ducks have climbed up to the No. 2 spot in the US LBM Coaches Poll, and they will have another test on their hands next week, with the No. 9 Indiana Hoosiers coming to town. Before we get into our deep preview of that game, though, let's take a chance to look back on the first five weeks of the year and hand out some awards, recognizing the players and positions who helped Oregon get to this point. Here are our midseason awards for the 2025 season: Handing out midseason awards for the Oregon Ducks after a 5-0 start
