The College Football Playoffs are finally here for Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks, and with the James Madison Dukes on tap, Autzen Stadium prepares for its first postseason game in program history.
It should be an incredibly fun weekend of college football, with playoff games across the slate as the first round got underway on Friday night between the Alabama Crimson Tide and Oklahoma Sooners. Oregon enters its game as a massive 21.5-point favorite and will advance to the quarterfinals against the Texas Tech Red Raiders with a win on Saturday night.
