ALERT: Oregon Ducks FACE Playoff Danger, Looking AHEAD to USC—Is Minnesota Game a TRAP?

The Oregon Ducks cling to their College Football Playoff hopes as they face a dangerous look-ahead test against the Minnesota Golden Gophers under Friday Night Lights. Can Dan Lanning’s squad avoid a costly slip-up with a pivotal matchup versus USC looming? Key players like running backs Noah Wittington and Jordan Davison will look to capitalize after a gritty road win at Iowa, but injuries at wide receiver and a surging Minnesota ground attack led by Darius Taylor and breakout back Ijeboi Fame add intrigue.

Craig Shemon breaks down playoff scenarios, the impact of the Ducks' evolving backfield, and how the College Football Playoff rankings could shift if Oregon falters. The conversation spotlights Minnesota’s tricky profile under PJ Fleck, USC and Michigan’s playoff paths, and what Friday’s result means for the Big Ten’s postseason ambitions. Will the Ducks stay focused and protect their spot in the top 10, or does Minnesota spoil their playoff dreams?
