Oregon Football: Twitter reactions to Ducks’ No. 3 spot in CFP rankings
Twitter was heated on Tuesday night. After the first Champions Classic game, the CFP rankings were released and Oregon football fans tuned in to see if they would move up or stay at No. 4.
The Ducks were happy to find out that they had the No. 3 spot in the latest rankings, moving up one spot because Michigan State lost to Purdue last week. Oregon is now 8-1 on the season after beating Washington and the Spartans’ loss to Purdue opened up a spot in the top-three where the Ducks took over and Ohio State jumped to No. 4.
Obviously Buckeye fans weren’t too happy with the poll because Michigan is ahead of Michigan State despite a head-to-head loss, so why is Oregon still ahead of Ohio State?
Mario Cristobal’s team took care of business in Week 10, beating Washington on the road despite not playing its best football. The Ducks have to feel good about their position and the fact that they control their own destiny with three games left int he regular season.
How did Twitter react to Oregon football’s spot in CFP rankings?
Oregon fans are happy about the one-spot jump in the playoff rankings this week, but Ohio State fans are less than pleased. The Michigan-Michigan State head-to-head matchup apparently didn’t matter while the committee still values Oregon’s win over the Buckeyes.
How did Twitter react?
Oregon > OSU

UM > MSU
Yeah so head-to-head matters, but actually no it doesn’t? Make up your damn mind lmao
There are only six teams that truly control their own destiny for making the playoff:

Georgia
Alabama
Oregon
Ohio State
Michigan
Michigan State
I actually don’t get the playoff rankings. There is zero justification to anything. Michigan State should be higher than Michigan, Purdue should be higher than Auburn, BYU shouldn’t be ranked, and Oregon should be higher than Bama.

I am fine with Ohio St being #5 & behind Oregon even with a loss to Stanford…

However, The CFB playoff always gives Bama the benefit of the doubt even with losing to a unranked Texas A&M while OSU lost to a ranked Oregon team early in the season…

The consensus reaction is that Oregon doesn’t deserve to be ahead of Ohio State if Michigan is ahead of Michigan State. What do you think?
