The Oregon Ducks survived one of their biggest scares of the season over the weekend, getting out of Madison with a 16-13 win over the Wisconsin Badgers. It was a win that lacked any style points, but at this point in the season, all that’s needed is a win to keep the College Football Playoff hopes alive.
On Sunday morning, Oregon kept its No. 1 ranking in both the US LBM Coaches Poll and the AP Top 25, but the ranking that really matters comes out on Tuesday night with the third iteration of the College Football Playoff rankings.
Will the Ducks stay at No. 1, and more importantly, how will teams below them jockey for positions as we enter into the final two weeks of the regular season? Here’s how to tune in to find out.

Oregon football CFP rankings projection
After another winning week, there’s no reason to believe that Oregon will move out of the No. 1 spot, even though it was a 16-13 win over an unranked Wisconsin. What will be the most interesting thing to see is how far Georgia moves up in the rankings after a win over Tennessee, and how far the Volunteers fall. The result of that could very well determine how many SEC teams get into the playoff.
