Oregon’s CFP hopes shriveled away with its 34-31 loss to Washington in the Pac-12 Championship. Nonetheless, the Ducks are still one of the best teams in the country. Oregon finished the regular season, averaging 526.6 total yards per game, the second-most in the country.

Oregon’s defense didn’t follow far behind. The Ducks only allowed 320.3 yards per game, ranking No. 22 in the country. While Oregon couldn’t ever usurp Washington, the team still boasts three ranked victories this season. Head coach Dan Lanning knows his team still has more to prove.

“I know how hard our players work I hate to see them finish on that note,” Lanning said following the Pac-12 Championship. “I know we’re gonna get an opportunity for a great bowl game and I want to see those guys go out there and compete.”

Flames look to set college football world on fire

Only three Power Five remained undefeated through 13 games. Liberty is one of them. Despite their efforts, the Flames are still only ranked No. 18 in the AP Top 25. Now, they’ll have a chance to prove the naysayers wrong. The Flames certainly have the firepower to achieve their lofty goal.

The team rattled off a ridiculous 712 total yards in their win over the New Mexico State Aggies in the Conference USA Championship. Liberty’s explosive performance is no surprise. Liberty boasts the No. 3 offense in the FBS, averaging 514.9 yards per game. Head coach Jamey Chadwell knows his team has earned this moment.

“If you’ve watched us for 13 weeks, we are the best G5 team in this country. Six wins over bowl teams, our average margin of victory is 17 points. We have dominated our opponents. We Belong in the New Years Six,” Chadwell said.
