There has been only one team from the Pac-12 to make it into the College Football Playoff (CFP) in its seven years of existence, and that was in the first year when Oregon shocked Florida State 59-20 in the semifinal and then lost to Ohio State 42-20 in the national championship game. In Week 2, the Ducks got some long-coming revenge when they surprised the third-ranked Buckeyes with a 35-28 road victory to establish themselves as a CFP contender and have since replaced Ohio State at that third spot in the polls.
