Projected seed: 2 (automatic qualifier)
Oregon has demonstrated a strong season with key victories, particularly against ranked opponents like Alabama and Texas A&M, which bolsters their credibility as a contender. The win against Oregon State was a solid boost, given their strong ranking. However, the narrow loss to UCLA raises concerns about consistency, especially considering their defensive ranking, which has room for improvement. The remaining schedule offers opportunities to solidify their standing; winning against teams like Illinois and Maryland would enhance their resume, while slip-ups against lower-ranked opponents could jeopardize their seeding. Their ability to close out close games will be crucial as they navigate this challenging stretch.
