Projection: likely out

Oregon’s profile reads like a team that has flashed enough to keep hopes alive but not enough to vault into the field because its best moments are a road victory at Maryland and comfortable home wins over teams like UC Davis and Portland, while its worst moments include heavy neutral-site and road defeats to premier opponents such as Gonzaga, Auburn, San Diego State and Creighton plus lopsided losses at Nebraska and multiple setbacks at UCLA and Washington that expose an inability to win away from home. The remaining slate presents a mixed bag where home dates against Penn State and Minnesota and a chance against Iowa offer clear opportunities to add meaningful wins, but daunting trips to places like Purdue and Illinois and additional road tests at USC and Northwestern make significant upward movement unlikely. With few signature scalps, a roster that has routinely faltered on the road, and a string of damaging losses to top teams, the committee would view Oregon’s resume as more vulnerable than secure.
