Ducks Finish CFB Playoff Rankings No. 1
There was no suspense to where Oregon would finish the college football playoff rankings today. Oregon is the only undefeated team and ended the season with a strong win over rival Washington in Eugene.
With Oregon playing for a Big Ten championship this Saturday, the only real impact of the rankings was to give Oregon fans some insight as to who Oregon could potentially face in the college football playoffs after the conference game. Even should the Ducks lose to Penn State, they will still be in the playoffs just in a different spot.
