Every team in the running for a College Football Playoff spot knows where it stands in the eyes of selection committee members now that the initial rankings are out.
Though the top 10 teams in the CFP rankings and Associated Press Top 25 poll are the same, the list differs and Oregon is a point of contention. The Ducks are No. 6 in the AP poll and No. 9 in the CFP rankings, and that creates an intriguing backdrop for their road game against an Iowa team outside the Top 25 but No. 20 in the CFP rankings.
