Record (AP rank): 9-1 (6)
Last week's result: Beat Arizona 34-6
Last week's playoff rank: 6
Key games remaining: Pac-12 title game
The outlook: A first-week loss to Auburn may be enough to keep the Ducks out of playoff contention, but they still have a decent shot at making it in. If we assume three spots will be allocated to the SEC champion, Big Ten champion, and an undefeated Clemson, the fourth spot will be a toss-up between one of the remaining SEC powerhouses, the Big 12 champion, or the Pac-12 champion. A few decisions need to fall in Oregon's favor, but a Pac-12 championship — likely over the one-loss Utah Utes — will give them a substantial claim to a College Football Playoff bid.
