With the Oregon Ducks' win over the Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday, their chances at making the College Football Playoff have skyrocketed. Don't look now, but the Oregon Ducks season might be back on track, with expectations returning.
After a huge blowout win over the Ohio State Buckeyes in Columbus over the weekend, Dan Lanning's team kept its season alive, with real hopes of making the Big Ten Championship and potentially the College Football Playoff. That much is reflected in the latest look at ESPN's Football Power Index.
Nothing is possible unless the Ducks win their final three games, but at this point, it's reasonable to say there is a chance. Here's a look at the new ESPN FPI numbers and what they mean for the Ducks.
