Oregon Ducks odds to make College Football Playoff, per ESPN FPI

The Oregon Ducks are heading into their first bye week of the season with some wind under their wings.

After a 49-14 blowout over the Oregon State Beavers, Dan Lanning and his squad got their season back on track despite two frustrating wins over the Idaho Vandals and Boise State Broncos. The offense looks vintage, the defense is aggressive, and the special teams are more explosive than we’ve seen in Eugene for quite some time.

The national perception of the Ducks seems to have changed a bit as well.

Once a trendy pick to win the national championship in 2024, Oregon dropped nearly outside of the top 10 after the first two games, but their get-right game against the Beavers has many fans and analysts believing again.

Here’s a look at how ESPN’s Football Power Index ranks the Ducks in terms of the possibility of making the College Football Playoff this season.
