Where Oregon stands in new College Football Playoff rankings after Week 13
A lot has happened in the world of Oregon Ducks’ football over the past few days. It all started on Saturday afternoon with a brutal 38-34 loss to the Oregon State Beavers, ending the chances of making it to the Pac-12 Championship. Not long after that, offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham accepted the head coaching job with the Arizona State Sun Devils, and a video surfaced of a player on the team allegedly punching a fan.
In the days since then, a couple of high-profile Ducks have entered the transfer portal, and now everyone is left wondering who will be next, and who is going to take over as the next OC for Oregon.
Meanwhile, the latest College Football Playoff rankings were released on Tuesday, offering a bleak look at the end of the season for the Ducks. Take a look at where they now stand:
