Where Did Oregon Land in Latest CFP Rankings?

After taking down the Ohio State Buckeyes last week, the Oregon Ducks are on track to potentially make some history this season.

While the year hasn't gone the way that the Ducks would have hoped for, the team is still alive in the race for the College Football Playoff. Oregon's win over the Buckeyes has the team sitting with a record of 6-3 on the year, with three games left to go.

In the latest ranking for the playoff, the Ducks came in at No. 16 in the new bracket, following the win over Ohio State. Oregon has a manageable final few-game stretch, giving the Ducks an outside chance at the playoff.

No team in the history of the playoff has ever made the tournament with three losses, but the Ducks could become the first. With the committee ranking the Ducks at No. 23 last week, they gave life to the Oregon chance to make this happen.

Of course, Oregon still has to win the last three games on the schedule, but after taking down Ohio State, they should be favored. The Ducks have the Michigan Wolverines at home this weekend, giving the team a chance to add another Big Ten win.

Oregon will then head out on the road to take on the Michigan State Spartans, before they return back to Eugene to face the rival Washington Huskies. The game against Washington could be tough, especially with it being a rivalry game.

With starting quarterback Dante Moore out for the rest of the season, backup Dylan Raiola will continue to lead this team. Raiola has been good for the Ducks this season, providing the team with a massive spark.

In seven games this season, Raiola has thrown for 1,354 yards with 11 touchdowns and two interceptions. Raiola has brought a sense of calm to the Ducks' offense, following the brutal loss of Moore earlier in the season.

Head coach Dan Lanning understands what is at stake the rest of the way, and he should have his guys ready to go. The year hasn't been what Oregon expected, but this season has tested the Ducks in different ways.

The Ducks have no margin for error the rest of the way, but this team has been playing like this over the last few weeks. Oregon will try to stay focused the rest of the way, not overlooking any of the teams left on the schedule.
