I have spent since Saturday night analyzing and figuring out the potential path for the Oregon Ducks to make the College Football Playoffs and I have found one. I don't understand why no one on the big sports stage is talking about this potential path given it could certainly add to the hype and coverage of the PAC-12 Championship game on Friday night.
But all that needs to happen is the following and it isn't that absurd to see any of this happening. Currently Oregon is #10.
Georgia beats Alabama
Iowa beats Michigan
Houston beats Cincinnati
Oregon beats Utah
That happens and the 2 loss PAC-12 champ Oregon is in. They would certainly jump any of the 2 loss non conference championship teams. Georgia is favored over alabama, so that isn't a shock. Houston is #16 so them beating Cincy is a real possibility and the big upset here would be Iowa over Michigan, but it's possible as Iowa has looked good this year.
Why is no one talking about this possibility? It isn't far fetched, if the above outcomes happen, I dont know who would get that 4th and final spot, if it wasn't Oregon.
