Oregon moves up in AP Poll, Coaches Poll following Week 13 win
After a chaotic final week of the college football regular season, the Oregon Ducks gained ground in both the AP Poll and US LBM Coaches Poll.
The Ducks benefited from Ohio State’s loss to Michigan and leapfrogged the Buckeyes in both poles.
Oregon moved up to No. 5 in the AP Poll and received 1,277 points.
In the Coaches Poll, the Ducks also climbed to No. 5 and garnered 1,274 points.
Oregon will now set its sights on Friday’s season-defining showdown with the No. 3 Washington Huskies at the Pac-12 Championship Game in Las Vegas.
“I think ultimately, every single player in that locker room knew what was in front of us,” Lanning said following the win over Oregon State. “And we knew we wouldn’t get there if we didn’t do a good job of focusing on the task at hand. That’s really what it’s been about. It’s been about each day. It’s been about each moment. It’s gonna be tomorrow, it’s not gonna be about Washington, either. It’s gonna be about the Ducks, and what are we going to do tomorrow to be better? So, we kept the focus on us and what’s in front of us, and we know we’ve got to play good teams to get where we want to be.”
