Oregon Ducks drop while controversy explodes at top of final 2023 CFP rankings

It was all sitting there for Dan Lanning and the Ducks, ready for the taking. A Pac-12 Championship, a Heisman Trophy, and a spot in the College Football Playoff.

They couldn’t get it done in the end, though, with a 34-31 loss to the Washington Huskies, who made history by going undefeated in the Pac-12 for the first time ever, and becoming the first team from the conference to make the playoff twice.

On Sunday morning, the final CFP rankings came out, with a ton of controversy swirling at the top. There was some minor chaos on Saturday, with No. 1 Georgia losing to No. 8 Alabama in the SEC Championship game, opening up the door for a lot of different things to happen at the top four.

Here is ultimately who the committee let into the playoff.
