Just two weeks ago, the Oregon Ducks were left for dead with a lost season on the docket.
But after two impressive come-from-behind victories over the Northwestern Wildcats and Ohio State Buckeyes, the Ducks find themselves with an outside chance of making the Big Ten title game, giving themselves a shot at making the College Football Playoff. It's funny how fast things change, isn't it?
Before we get ahead of ourselves, Oregon still has three regular-season games that they have to win. They'll host the Michigan Wolverines and Washington Huskies, games sandwiched around a trip to East Lansing to take on the Michigan State Spartans. They're certainly winnable contests, but with how inconsistent the Ducks have been at times in 2026, they can't be considered
gimmes.
Final three games aside, Oregon's odds to make the CFP in the aftermath of Week 10 have risen exponentially. Last week, they had over +1000 odds to make the 12-team playoff, as they held a 5-3 record and were two-score underdogs on the road against Ohio State. But after taking care of the Buckeyes, the Ducks have cut those odds down to +310, bringing themselves within striking distance.
With three weeks to go and Oregon's supposed "toughest" game of the season in the books as a win, let's take a look at where the Ducks land in the CFP odds compared to the rest of the teams competing to make the playoff.
