Oregon Ducks stay at No. 3 in latest College Football Playoff rankings, ahead of Ohio State

The Ducks stayed in the No. 3 spot in the latest College Football Playoff rankings, ahead of Ohio State.

The jump that we all knew would take place at some point has finally happened.

The jump that we all are expecting to happen at some point this year is still in the waiting.

The latest release of the College Football Playoff standings have the Oregon Ducks staying at No. 3 in the rankings, with Ohio State at No. 4

It would not have been a massive shock to see OSU jump up to No. 3, since this past week they had an impressive blowout win over No. 19 Purdue. Oregon is also coming off of a 38-24 win over Washington State.

Here is out the rest of the top-10 shook out in the third installment of the rankings:

  1. Georgia
  2. Alabama
  3. Oregon
  4. Ohio State
  5. Cincinnati
  6. Michigan
  7. Michigan State
  8. Notre Dame
  9. Oklahoma State
  10. Wake Forest

It will be hard for the Ducks to move up any further in the rankings unless one of the top-2 teams ends up losing in the coming weeks. Of course, Ohio State faces off against Michigan State this week, and Georgia and Alabama are still set to meet later this season as well.

None of it matters if the Ducks can’t take care of business this weekend against No. 23 Utah, though. So let’s start there.

REACTION: Twitter reacts to Ducks, head-to-head controversy in latest CFP standings

If head-to-head matters for Oregon vs. Ohio State, should it matter for Michigan vs. Michigan State? Twitter definitely had an opinion.

The latest batch of College Football Playoff rankings was released on Tuesday night and some drama came when it was announced that the Michigan Wolverines were ranked ahead of the Michigan State Spartans by a spot, despite the fact that Michigan State beat the Wolverines just two weeks ago.

As is the new normal, fans of college football had a field day with the new rankings on Twitter. Many found it interesting that the head-to-head victory did not matter for Michigan State, but it still mattered with Oregon and Ohio State, despite the fact that Ohio State has arguably looked better than the Ducks for much of the season.

Here are some of the best tweets and reactions from all of the action:
