There are only a few weeks remaining in the college football regular season, and the first College Football Playoff committee rankings were released on Tuesday. They confirmed something we already knew:
The Oregon Ducks are really good.
Ranked No. 1 in the playoff committee rankings, the AP Top 25 and the US LBM Coaches Poll, Oregon did everything it needed to do this past week with a blowout win over the Michigan Wolverines in The Big House.
Now the Ducks return home for a game against the Maryland Terrapins. They are favored by more than three touchdowns. We know they’re good, but exactly how good are they?
One of the many reasons we go through these statistical rankings each week of the season is to get a visual look at how the Oregon Ducks compare against the best teams in the nation. In essence, we want to get to the bottom of that question.
Though we can feel confident that the Ducks are an elite team, it is still fun to look at the stats, see how they have changed from last week, and check where their ranking now is in a national point of view.
Here’s an updated look after Week 10.
