Is Oregon out of the College Football Playoff? Ducks on brink of elimination after stunning loss to UCLA

Oregon fell 17-15 to UCLA at Autzen Stadium, dropping to 3-2 overall and 1-1 in the Big Ten while the Bruins improved to 5-0 and 2-0 in league play. The Ducks had two chances to tie with two‑point conversions, first when quarterback Brock Thomas was stopped and again after a face‑mask penalty, but running back Jordon Davison was tackled short on the second try, and a final drive ran out of time.

The loss leaves the Ducks at the two‑loss threshold with no margin for error as they eye a daunting road game at Ohio State. Oregon entered the season ranked No.

2 under head coach Dan Lanning, but injuries have hampered them, including a concussion to backup quarterback Dante Moore, forcing Thomas to start. UCLA, coached by first‑year boss Bob Chesney, saw backup quarterback Ty Dieffenbach replace starter Nico Iamaleava after Dylan Raiola’s poor 6‑of‑19 showing against the Bruins.
