Projection: likely out

Oregon’s profile has flashes that a committee would notice but far more blemishes that weigh it down. They have resume-relevant wins such as victories at USC and at Maryland and a notable home result over Wisconsin, yet most of their triumphs came against weak opponents and do little to offset the damage. Neutral-site losses to Auburn, San Diego State, Creighton and Gonzaga and heavy defeats on the road at Nebraska and Illinois plus tough losses at home to Michigan and Michigan State underline a lack of consistency, especially away from friendly confines. With a final opportunity against Washington remaining, the Ducks can still improve their case, but they need a clean finish because those severe losses are the reason their current projection looks bleak.
