The Oregon Ducks are cruising right now in the College Football Playoff rankings, as they moved up one spot to No. 9 in the latest rankings release. After a close call against Iowa in Week 11, the committee clearly took into account the Ducks' big comeback in order to secure the win, rewarding them by moving up.
Moving up in the rankings is big for many reasons, but the biggest is that now Oregon is in the perfect spot to host their first-round playoff game against what would right now be No. 9 Notre Dame. A home game in Autzen Stadium is something the Ducks would love to have, especially with the help of the crowd.
