Where Oregon stands in new College Football Playoff rankings after Week 12
While the College Football Playoff may be far from many people’s minds in Eugene, it still holds a good barometer for where the Oregon Ducks are viewed in the national landscape as a whole.
After suffering a loss to the Washington Huskies over a week ago, Oregon fell out of the No. 6 spot in the nation, all the way down to No. 12. However, they were able to bounce back quickly with a win over the Utah Utes, and they now are sitting pretty with a chance to make it to the Pac-12 Championship Game once again.
So where does the CFP committee view the Ducks when it comes to the national balance of power? Take a look at the latest rankings:
