Without playing over this past weekend, the situation for the Oregon Ducks has not changed. They are still the best team in the Pac-12 right now and flat-out dominating the competition. A well-deserved rest doesn’t change their standings in the Pac 12 Power Rankings. <p>And now, in firm control of their own destiny for a spot in the College Football Playoff, they have to stay focused and dominate the competition.</p> <p>Marcus Mariota might go down as the most efficient quarterback in college football history, and the offense as a whole has been on a dominant streak ever since the offensive linemen missing against Arizona got healthy. That was such a fluke loss, and this team is back in the mix for the national championship. The defense has played well also. Goinf forward, though, they can’t take Pac-12 games off.</p> <p>Colorado at home and Oregon State on the road are both games that should be wins. But Oregon State is a road game, so don’t count that as a win yet considering what the Beavers just did to Arizona State. And then they have to get a win in the Pac-12 Championship game. Their College Football Playoff spot is not reserved just yet.</p>. 9-1 (6-1). Previous: 1st. Oregon Ducks. 1. team. 105
