he biggest matchup in Week 7 of the college football slate lived up to the hype as the Oregon Ducks and Ohio State Buckeyes delivered an instant classic.
The Ducks came away victorious on their home field thanks to a late field goal. The Buckeyes had just under two minutes to respond but Will Howard couldn't lead his team down the field. He scrambled to avoid the pass rush on the final play and didn't get down quickly enough to stop the clock.
Dan Lanning now has the signature win he's been looking for and Oregon now has the inside track to the College Football Playoff, whether as the Big Ten champ or an at-large.
But that's a discussion for the future. How does this result impact the college football rankings now?
