## CFP rankings show three-loss teams
The selection committee ranked manufactured television narratives instead of actual on-field resumes for the College Football Playoff.
## Five teams with three losses in CFP rankings
Oregon, South Carolina, Ohio State, Ole Miss and LSU sit between 16 and 21 with three losses and a legitimate shot at making the cut.
## Ole Miss has strong quarterback and running back
Ole Miss has Trinidad Chambliss, a top quarterback, and Kewan Lacy, a strong running back, with wins over LSU and Missouri.
## LSU's recent losses weaken their case
LSU lost to Ole Miss and has a poor win record, with a recent blowout loss to Alabama.
## Ohio State's key player injured
Ohio State lost signal caller Julian Sayin for the remainder of the 2026 season and potentially beyond.
## South Carolina's star players injured
South Carolina lost dynamic QB Lanorris Sellers and big-play wideout Nyck Harbor.
## Oregon's recent performance improves
Oregon scored 41 points against Ohio State and has a strong final stretch with games against Michigan, Michigan State, and Washington.
## Oregon's potential CFP run
Oregon could enter the College Football Playoff with a blisteringly hot offense and make a deep run despite being a three-loss team.
## Oregon's CFP viability
Oregon is the most dangerous three-loss team left standing with a strong chance to make the College Football Playoff field.
## Key takeaway

Oregon, with three losses, could enter College Football Playoff and make a deep run despite recent injuries and a tough schedule.
