Oregon’s Win Revives Playoff Hopes

Oregon’s win over Ohio State moved the Ducks to No. 16 and revived their playoff hopes; they need to win their remaining games and get favorable results elsewhere to reach the Big Ten title game. Baylor is 6-3 and bowl-eligible after two wins under interim coach Joe Klanderman, and its game against BYU carries major playoff implications for both teams. Conference title races remain unsettled, with late-season results, head-to-head outcomes, committee rankings and league-specific tiebreakers shaping who reaches championship games. Miami, Utah and North Texas are among the teams leading their respective conference races.
