The Oregon Ducks did what they needed to do this past week to beat the Wisconsin Badgers on the road and keep their undefeated record intact. It wasn’t pretty, with a 16-13 final, but it was sufficient enough to keep the Ducks on top of the college football world in terms of rankings, as one of only three remaining undefeated teams. Now, Oregon can head into their much-needed bye week and try to get healthy.
Across the nation, we saw some intriguing results, with the undefeated BYU Cougars suffering an upset, while the Georgia Bulldogs beat the Tennessee Volunteers and got themselves back into the playoff picture.
With the chaos around the league, let’s take a look at who fell out of the playoff rankings, and who moved up after Week 11.
College Football Playoff bracket: Who’s in, who’s out
The loss suffered by BYU last week will be interesting, as the fallout is important. The Committee dropped them to No. 14 in the rankings because of the loss, while they moved the Bulldogs up to No. 10 in the rankings after a win over Tennessee. This is all important to see now while we still have a couple of weeks before the final rankings are released.
