The Oregon Ducks sit comfortably at the top of the College Football Playoff rankings for the fourth consecutive week following a bye week spent observing the drama surrounding college football.
On ESPN’s live rankings reveal show Tuesday night, the CFP selection committee declared that Oregon was still ranked #1. Both the AP and coaches polls continue to rank the Ducks (11-0, 8-0 Big Ten) as the top team.
The Ducks would have an automatic berth into the 12-team playoffs and a first-round bye as the presumptive Big Ten champions after securing a spot in the conference title game last week. The victor of a first-round playoff meeting between predicted No. 8 seed Georgia and No. 9 seed Tennessee on December 20 or 21 would face No. 1 seed Oregon in the Rose Bowl.

The Ducks would almost certainly host a first-round playoff game at Autzen Stadium as the No. 5 or 6 seed, depending on how things work out, if Oregon lost the Big Ten championship game.
The five conference champions with the highest rankings automatically receive a bid under the new College Football Playoff regulations, while seven other teams receive at-large bids determined by the committee’s rankings. The conference winners’ top four teams advance to a major bowl game, which is played on December 31 or January 1, with a first-round bye. Games for seeds 5–12 in the first round are played at the home field of the higher seed.
The Ducks would have their choice of this season’s CFP semifinal locations, the Cotton Bowl and the Orange Bowl, which are scheduled for January 9 and 10 in Dallas and Miami, respectively, if No. 1 Oregon advanced past the Rose Bowl. Atlanta will host the CFP national championship game on January 20.
