    College football bowl projections: Oregon supplants Washington in playoff field

     

    Doing bowl projections is easy when the four teams in the College Football Playoff all win on Saturday. This, however, is not a normal week because there is going to be a change among the top four.

     

    Oregon is moving up and replacing Washington as the fourth member of the semifinal field. The change might raise some eyebrows as the Huskies defeated the Ducks earlier this month and are still unbeaten. But after two lackluster performances by Washington against Arizona State and Stanford - the two worst teams in the Pac-12 - the expectation is that a likely rematch in the conference title game will go a different way.

     

    The change is all about the Huskies. Oregon looked dominant in its thrashing of Utah last week, and only home games against Southern California and Oregon State appear to be possible obstacles to reaching the Pac-12 title game with one loss.

     

    Another result working in the Ducks' favor was Oklahoma's loss to Kansas that ensures no team in the Big 12 will finish unbeaten. That means a one-loss champion from the Pac-12 should be in the field, given the overall strength of the league this season.

    None of the teams projected to be in the College Football Playoff last week lost. However, there is a major change with Oregon passing Washington.

    I'm not too worried about the future.  Look at all the freshmen, RS Frosh, sophmores who are playing now and having an impact.  Too many for me to list or try to spell.

     

    In addition we have the transfer portal which the coaching staff does a good job of evaluating.  Then we also see the incoming committments from the HS recruiting.  Coach Dan Lanning and staff will continue to create a complete elite team of Ducks!

    Agree!  Dan Lanning and company are doing this correctly.  Bringing in top higt school recruits, mixing in with the right amount top transfers.  This is the correct way to do things in building, maintaining top caliber teams year in year out.

     

    Wow, great take from Joe Klatt.  He's gushing over Oregon's team.

    There were about two hours remaining until kickoff on Saturday in Salt Lake City. It was a bright and sunny morning, but the air was still crisp and cool in Rice-Eccles Stadium. While event staff milled about, preparing for a top-15 matchup between the Oregon Ducks and Utah Utes, Dan Lanning walked alone up and down the home team’s sideline.

     

    Still wearing the dark-blue sports jacket he donned on ESPN’s ‘College GameDay’ a couple of hours prior, the 37-year-old head coach was subdued. Ahead of him was among the biggest tests of his young head coaching career; a road matchup against a ranked opponent in a brutal environment — the type of game that Lanning has yet to win in his two years with the Ducks.

     

    After his quick field walk, Lanning went back into the locker room with his team. It would be several hours until he would walk back into that locker room again, high-fiving the Oregon faithful while carrying the biggest win of his coaching career in hand.

     

    35-6 was the final score. It was a total annihilation, one that Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham said was far more lopsided than the scoreboard would suggest.

     

    35-6 was the final score, though Whittingham thinks even that is underselling the Oregon dominance.

    “The score wasn’t indicative – the game was a mismatch. It was worse than what the score indicated.”
