Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted November 7, 2021 (Press Release from Oregon Athletics) EUGENE, Ore. — The Oregon football team moved up two spots to No. 5 in the latest Associated Press top-25 poll on Sunday following the Ducks’ 26-16 win over Washington in Seattle. UO also moved up one spot to No. 6 in the AFCA Coaches poll. The Ducks (8-1, 5-1 Pac-12) were No. 4 in the initial College Football Playoff rankings released last Tuesday. The new CFP rankings will be released on Tuesday, Nov. 9, at 6 p.m. PT on ESPN. Oregon is in the top five of the AP poll for the fourth time this season, and first since week four. This is the Ducks’ ninth consecutive week in the top 10 of the AP poll. Oregon remains the only Pac-12 team ranked in both the AP and AFCA polls. The Ducks return home this week to host Washington State on Saturday, Nov. 13, at 7:30 p.m. in Autzen Stadium (ESPN). Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Sousa No. 2 Share Posted November 7, 2021 The first thing I noted last Tuesday, is that, for the first time it seemed, the Playoff Committee did not play lap dog to the AP. Seems like every year the committee just follows the AP's lead. This year they bucked the crowd and put Oregon in front of tOSU while the AP had the Ducks two spots behind them. This week, it looks like the roles are reversed. The AP followed the committee's lead and put Oregon in front of the Buckeyes, ...a refreshing turn of events. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
