Ari Wasserman is a national college football reporter for The Athletic. Like many, he believes the Oregon Ducks are the best team in the Pac-12. He also thinks that they are the conference’s worst candidate to break into the college football playoff. Why? Well, here’s a hint: Georgia.
Wasserman joined Sports by Northwest this week to break down Oregon’s path to the CFP and discuss his recent column in The Athletic: Oregon’s dominance and why that’s an issue for the Pac-12 in the Playoff race.
Here are some highlights from this week’s show:
· Wasserman explain why he thinks both USC and UCLA would have stronger playoff chances than Oregon if one of them wins out
· Why the Ducks did the right thing by scheduling Georgia, even though it’s hurting them now
· Discussing Bo Nix’s Heisman candidacy and why it’s not actually all that surprising
· Oregon’s final three (or four) games could give them a boost in the playoff chase, but they have to win them first
