Suddenly the Transfer Portal poses a mild danger Oregon's playoff hopes
Both were third on the depth chart and both have left the team eight games into the season. While neither has played since the blowout wins in early September, it's still a blow to the depth needed for practice reps, special teams and as insurance against injuries.
Fields and Florence will land somewhere, tall, talented cornerbacks with above average speed and good coverage ability. Fields earned a four-star rating in the class of 2024, 6-2, 200 from Junipero Serra High, straight out of Compton, California.
The loss of either is not damaging unless the Ducks suffer a corresponding run of injuries at defensive back, keeping in mind that a long season is potentially little more than half over-- it takes 16 games to win a national championship now, and Oregon is 7-1.

Why College Football Playoff projections don't amount to a hill of beans
There's little real value in anyone making a subjective guess about something that's going to be revealed in hours, and doesn't have any significance until the actual selection show, Sunday December 7 at 3 p.m. PT on the same network. That's the day that will live in infamy. The others are strictly window dressing.
Lastly, the warmup reveals are virtually useless. Whether Oregon, Texas or Louisville are in or out, whether a team is No. 6 or No. 10 or No. 18 at this stage is only mildly interesting. There's a month of the season to be played, and games like Oregon at Iowa and BYU at Texas Tech will determine who makes the cut. Conjectures and make-work assignments won't put any team in the final 12.
The Ducks have to go at least 3-1 to gain a spot in the field, and a 4-0 finish would guarantee them a home game in the first round. Until they achieve that, anyone's prediction of the seeding is 200 monkeys trying to type Shakespeare.
This monkey would rather focus on the Oregon offense and how they handle the blitz.
The Committee's first ranking is likely to follow pretty closely to the Coaches Poll:

Bye week gives Ducks new breathing room in College Football Playoff chase
When Hitler invaded the Soviet Union during World War II, Winston Churchill referenced an ancient Sanskrit proverb, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
On a much smaller scale Week 10 of the College Football season invokes the same sentiment. With a Saturday off Duck fans watched as No. 10 Miami fell out of bed against unranked SMU, No. 9 Vanderbilt lost on the road to Texas, and No. 8 Georgia Tech dropped a road game at NC State, 48-36.
Georgia needed a blown replay review to escape 24-20 against 3-5 Florida, and Notre Dame found themselves in a 12-10 game at 1-7 Boston College before pulling away with two late touchdowns.
The losses and close calls strengthen Oregon's hold on a playoff berth. Suddenly 10-2 looks pretty solid, and an 11-1 finish would guarantee a home playoff game and a seed in the 5-8 range.

Game time set for Oregon at Iowa, and it's the best-case scenario
The networks announced their schedule for the Big Ten window games Saturday afternoon, and it's perfect for the Ducks making a long road trip.
Kickoff for Oregon at Iowa is set for 12:30 p.m. PT Saturday November 8 on CBS.
That means the Ducks don't have the insane body clock challenge of a 9 a.m. road game, and they avoided the logistical nightmare of a night game ahead of a Friday game the week following. They already have a 6:00 p.m. PT kick against Minnesota in Autzen Stadium on November 14, a national TV game on Fox.
Big Noon Kickoff will be on site for Saturday's game at Kinnick Stadium, the 7-1, No. 6 Ducks versus the 6-2 Hawkeyes, who may be ranked after a shakeup in the polls yesterday. Week 10 saw losses by No. 8 Georgia Tech, No. 9 Vanderbilt, No.10 Miami, No.14 Tennessee, No. 17 Cincinnati and No. 22 Houston. Georgia and Michigan made narrow escapes.
