Oregon will probably drop even lower in the subjective polls when they come out.

And I DO think being IN the championship game gives teams a boost. Purdue is going to get a jump. LSU got a jump up. etc etc etc.

The argument that a team shouldn't be punished for losing in the champ game to a team just sitting at home DOES carry sway in alot of AP and Coaches voting.... it will be interesting to see if it does in the CFP committee or not.
