6. Oregon Ducks
In all honesty, Oregon is a tough selection to add to this list. Sure the Ducks were the only undefeated team last year entering the College Football Playoff, but everyone saw the true Oregon against Ohio State in the Rose Bowl.
So what version of Oregon will the country see this season?
There’s no denying that Oregon will be a great team this year once again, but will they be as strong as last season? That’s pretty unlikely to happen.
The good thing for Oregon is that their schedule might be the easiest out of all the power four teams in the country. Oregon doesn’t play any non-conference teams worth mentioning, and their only tough Big Ten game is a road date with Penn State.
So Oregon not only is nearly guaranteed to make it to the Big Ten Championship game, but they are a near lock to make the playoff as well. So that means there is a chance they could beat Georgia if they face off in the CFP this season.
