The demise of the Ducks may have been overstated.

The big picture: After an improbable upset over the Ohio State Buckeyes last weekend, the team jumped from outside the top 25 to the No. 18 spot in the AP's rankings, keeping their playoff hopes alive.

ESPN's playoff predictor tool gives the Ducks a 29% chance to make the playoffs with three regular season games left, all of them against unranked opponents.

What's next: Oregon will face Michigan in Eugene at 12:30pm Saturday.
