CFP Rankings friendly towards Ducks, who keep #2 Ranking

Even with a bye this week, the Ducks get good news from the CFP rankings committee, with teams moving around Oregon they maintained to keep their second place seeding. As is sometimes the case the bye week was advantageous to the Ducks. Though if you will look over to the AP and Coaches Polls both have the Ducks dropping in rank, this is probably still the hangover from years of BCS bullshit. The Ducks continue to beat ranked opponents and have a classy look to their play that seems to be lacking in alot of the other teams in the discussion for the playoffs, this still is the team to beat in my mind, and we are seeing the new committee shares my view. Now that the Beavers beat Arizona St. the PAC12 south is all tied up, which makes the PAC12 championship very interesting, Oregon seems to have an easy game coming up against Colorado on Saturday, after that they play the Beavers in Corvallis and Duck fans know never sleep on the Civil War game. If the Ducks win both those games then the PAC12 championship is a win or die game basically for the Ducks, as their is no way a two loss team will get in to the playoff unless I have no fingers on the pulse of college football. So as is usually the case in college football the Ducks need to win out to make the playoffs, and if Marcus Mariota is going to get the Heisman it will be because of a Ducks three game winning streak after this bye week.
