The Oregon Ducks face their most dangerous game of the season Saturday at Iowa, and a loss could knock them out of College Football Playoff contention entirely. The newly released CFP rankings have Oregon at No. 9—lower than expected—while Iowa checks in at No. 20, setting up a must-win showdown at Kinnick Stadium that could reshape the entire Big Ten playoff picture.

We break down why the committee punished Oregon despite their strong play, examine Iowa's suffocating defense and special teams prowess, and explain why this game carries massive implications for both programs. The Hawkeyes nearly upset No. 2 Indiana at home, and their run-heavy attack matches up perfectly against Oregon's 125th-ranked run defense. We also analyze the latest CFP rankings across the conference, discuss injury updates for Indiana's crucial matchup at Penn State, and reveal our updated Big Ten power rankings with several surprising moves after this week's action.

Watch now to understand why Saturday's Oregon-Iowa game might be the most consequential matchup of the entire Big Ten season and what it means for the conference's playoff hopes.
