Although the Ducks were winning, Oregon was moving down in the LBM Coaches poll due to the lack of style points. Those wins weren’t pretty.
That all changed with the Civil War.
Although the Ducks are still No. 6 in the poll, they received more votes, barely holding back Tennessee at No. 7. Oregon answered a lot of questions on Saturday and the perception of the Ducks have changed from “what’s wrong with the Ducks,” to “Oregon is a playoff contender once again.”
The big story is Texas, who leapfrogged Ohio State after the Buckeyes were enjoying a bye week. The Longhorns also received 10 first-place votes after Georgia escaped Kentucky with a 13-12 win.
Oregon will be in Ohio State’s spot this week as the Ducks will be on a bye week. Without playing, it’s entirely possible to move down in the poll depending on what other do around them in next week’s games.
