The No. 5 Oregon Ducks were improperly rated. No. 3 Washington send brought them back to reality in a second defeat of Oregon this season.
We noted this week that teams that cannot beat elite competition probably don’t deserve a chance to play elite competition in the College Football Playoff. Oregon is now 0-2 against teams with a better than 8-4 record.
Washington proved itself as a legitimate title contender in the game. Many are of the belief that its difficult to beat a good team twice. The Huskies made it happen defeating the No. 5 team two times in 2023.
Oregon’s loss likely moves Texas up to No. 6 pending Saturday’s results. A win over Oklahoma State should vault Texas to No. 5, and a Florida State loss would likely put the Longhorns into the playoff.
Here’s how social media took in the game.
An embarrassing ranking decision
Oregon played 4 teams who won more than 6 games this year.
Utah- Playing their 3rd string QB
USC- Worst P5 defense in the country
Oregon State- Game played one day before the Oregon State coach left
Washington- Lost twice
Great job, committee.

The big 12 being weak should hurt texas. They’re playing the weakest opponent in the CCG
