Kirk Herbstreit thinks the No. 6 Oregon Ducks should be in the College Football Playoff
While we all wait for the official College Football Playoff rankings to be released on Tuesday night for the second time this season, don’t be surprised to see endless predictions for what the top half of the top 25 will look like.
Here at Ducks Wire, we already gave our prediction for what things will look like after a wild weekend of football that saw three teams in the top 6 get beat. Until the rankings are released, everyone will offer their opinion on how things will shake out.
We like to look at some of the industry leaders to see what they think. Earlier on Sunday, we looked at what FOX Sports’ Joel Klatt thinks the top of the rankings look like, and now we look to ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit to see his opinion.
Oregon Duck fans, you may like what you see. Here is how Herbstreit thinks the playoff will shape up when the rankings are announced on Tuesday:
