Friday night's games gave us some interesting data points to dissect when it comes to Oregon, BYU and next week's college football rankings. How could the Ducks and Cougars' Week 8 victories impact next week's AP Top 25 Poll?

The same Pac-12 schools that competed in the conference for years will participate in the same collection of bowls as in the past.

Oregon made quite the statement heading into college football's midseason junction, holding off previously unbeaten Ohio State to move up in this week's national rankings. The victory validates the Ducks as one of the College Football Playoff national championship frontrunners and puts the Buckeyes in the unfamiliar position of needing to play flawlessly over their final six games in hopes of a rematch.
