I know people are in love with the idea of a home playoff game, but at this point I think we're as likely to have a first-round bye. It probably would just take a loss by either Texas Tech or Georgia in their league title games.

Good point, RichardDuck! There are any number of possibilities that can play out.

We will have to see how the CFP Rankings roll out on Tuesday. See who might be positioned to jump OBD's if they win their conference championship game.

No matter how it goes down DL, staff and players will be ready to play the hand they are dealt.

Not sure about other forum members but Sunday morning is so much better after we beat the huskies.

Go Ducks......

No, because I believe the layoff is too long (it would be a month before Oregon would play again) and teams lose their rhythm, especially on offense, but I think it’s more important what side of the bracket Oregon is on and who they would have to face on the way to the national championship game.

FWIW, George Wrightster, on his post game podcast, said that he believes that Ohio State, Texas Tech and Georgia probably match up best against the Ducks.

There is a path that only involves us playing 3 more games and winning a title, which is crazy if you think about it.

There will absolutely be at least one SEC in the top-4 imo, I have no doubt. So for this scenario to happen it is probably more likely with Georgia staying put and smacking Alabama down. I think given where the ACC is at, it’s pretty safe to say Indiana and tOSU stay in the top-4. The real key is Texas Tech imo. If they lose, and Lane is gone to LSU, someone has to be at 4, and it would probably be us at that point.

That being said, I’ll be shocked if Tech loses. They’re legit and I think BYU is solid, but not really on the same level.

Nothing we can do about it at this point but embrace the chaos.
