Committee Insights
According to Hunter Yurachek, chair of the CFP selection committee, Oregon’s rise in the rankings is a reflection of their performance, not external comparisons with other teams. The Ducks have maintained a presence in the CFP top 10 for 15 consecutive weeks. Their only defeat this season was against Indiana, currently ranked No. 2. Additionally, they have remained in the top 25 for 28 straight weeks since 2020.
As Oregon prepares for this weekend’s matchup, their focus remains on maintaining momentum and continuing to showcase their skill on the field.
