The list of legitimate College Football Playoff contenders is down to around 20 teams as November 1 approaches.
The Oregon Ducks are the clear No. 1 team on that list of playoff hopefuls. They are the top program in the AP Top 25 once again for Week 10.
The No. 1 contender to the Ducks in the Big Ten will be determined by the marquee Week 10 contest between the Penn State Nittany Lions and Ohio State Buckeyes.
Oregon, Penn State and Ohio State are likely locks to land in the 12-team playoff field.
