After many weeks of intense arguing over whether a team that opened the season with a 46-point loss deserves a shot at the College Football Playoff, Oregon went ahead and removed itself from the conversation with a 37-34 home loss to Washington.
It was an awesome back-and-forth game that featured one of the worst decisions you'll ever see (Michael Penix Jr. throwing into double coverage on 1st-and-goal from the 1-yard line early in the fourth quarter), a national-landscape-altering injury (Bo Nix got dinged up late in the fourth), a mind-boggling decision to not call a timeout to get Nix back into the game before a fourth-down attempt, a controversial "fake" injury with six seconds remaining and a flailing Hail Mary attempt as time expired.
