Brad Crawford of CBS posted his bowl projection after two weeks and the Ducks made a big upward move after two convincing performances.
"The Ducks flexed their firepower and made a major move in our updated College Football Playoff projection coming out of Week 2," Crawford wrote Sunday after Oregon dispatched Big 12 Oklahoma State 69-3.
A preseason skeptic about Oregon's chances, the CBS bracket expert now has them as the No. 6 seed, hosting a first-round playoff game against his No. 11 seed South Carolina and quarterback LaNorris Sellers on December 19 or 20 at Autzen Stadium.
