Oregon's resume has been good enough to hold them steady at #6 in every edition of the College Football Playoff rankings so far. They've stayed ahead of #7 Texas (10-1) for one reason in particular, and beating Oregon State handily would solidify that case going forward.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin looks at the broader CFP landscape heading into the Civil War. Plus, some of the keys to the game as the Ducks look to avenge last year's 38-34 catastrophe in Corvallis.

Oregon State is a team that cannot accomplish some of the goals it set out before the season began, which to some makes the emotional edge belong to the Ducks in this game. There is another angle of Oregon State's season that should not be overlooked by Duck fans.
