Oregon Ducks climb back inside Top 10 of College Football Playoff Rankings
After notching a win over Utah last Saturday, the Oregon Ducks have climbed back inside the top 10 of the College Football Playoff rankings.
The CFP Selection Committee released its updated rankings Tuesday afternoon. While the Ducks fell out of contention for the top four following their Week 11 loss to Washington, there is still plenty at stake this season.
In the latest rankings, Oregon moved up three spots to No. 9 following Saturday’s win over the Utes.
The Ducks are one of six Pac-12 teams that cracked the top 25.
USC (No. 6), Washington (No. 13), Utah (No. 14), UCLA (No. 18), and Oregon State (No. 21) all made the cut as well.
Oregon owns victories over the Utes and Bruins and will have an opportunity to capture another top 25 win this Saturday when it faces the Beavers in Corvallis.
A win there would guarantee a trip to the Pac-12 title game against USC on Dec. 2.
“It doesn’t take any extra juice for our guys,” Oregon coach Dan Lanning said on Monday. “I think they appreciate this game and knows what it means. I love rivalries when it comes to rivalries in college football. So, this is certainly one of the great ones and I think our guys are excited and ready to go play.”
