​Oregon has to like that it has an opportunity to make the College Football Playoff after the start of the season that it had. There were some questions about whether Oregon was going to turn its season around, as it looked like this one was going to be a failure. Oregon entered the year with just as expensive a roster as any team in college football, a ton of returning talent, and what many regard as an elite head coach in Dan Lanning. Unfortunately for the Ducks, things didn’t necessarily go as planned to start the year, and as a result, it seemed like they had no chance of making the College Football Playoff. Fast forward about a month and a half, and Oregon now looks to be a team that not only has a chance to make the College Football Playoff, but win a national championship if things go their way.The question now for Oregon is whether it can take care of business over the next few weeks and put the committee in a position to have them in the field when the time comes. I almost feel safe saying that if Oregon wins out, it’s going to be in a position to make the College Football Playoff. While there are teams in front of them, now sitting at No. 16 in the country in the College Football Playoff rankings, there’s a great likelihood that multiple of those teams are going to lose at least another game or two.College GameDay host Rece Davis had some more thoughts about the possibility of Oregon making the CFP, noting that he believes the Ducks have a real opportunity to make the dance.“They’re the highest-ranked three-loss team, and I think the door is open to them on a couple of fronts,” Davis said, H/T Bri Amaranthus. “One is the one you mentioned. You keep winning, all of a sudden it looks as if you’ve righted the ship and you get one of the last at-large bids…“Even if that doesn’t happen, with the way we’ve seen all of these teams falling and Oregon ascending and playing well and the Boise win is going to look good for them, I think there is a possibility that they could be a three-loss at-large team by the end of it. They’ll need some things to fall their way. They’d probably be better served if it went their way in the Big Ten and they just won the conference.”As Davis touched on here, multiple things are going to have to go Oregon’s way. As we’ve spoken about a few times now, the reality is that Oregon is going to have to take care of its own business before any other decisions get made. If the Ducks lose a game, they’re going to get knocked out, barring something drastic happening.
