Week 8 did not shake up the top teams in the bowl projections like last week did. The big winner of the week may end up being Oregon, who picked up a nice 45-30 victory over UCLA. The Ducks lost in week 1 to Georgia, but have been perfect since then. The schedule lays out nicely from here for Oregon to reach the Pac-12 title game if they can get past Utah on November 19th. That very well could put them in a position to reach the playoffs heading into Championship Week.
