1 hour ago1 hr No. The Oregon effect is still alive and well in college football rankings: If you beat Oregon you must be really good, but if you lose to Oregon it's because Oregon wasn't that good.And yet at the same time, it's a bit of darned if you do, darned if you don't, if you win the ranking of the opponent drops and your schedule difficulty drops impacting your resume, and if you lose your schedule difficulty increases and your resume looks better.However, all that being said, this is the last year for rankings to REALLY matter. Ever.Next year with a 24 team playoff everyone that is halfway decent by the end of the season will be in the playoffs, and if you want to be the best you have to beat the best at that point, although if you're in the bottom half you'll have to do it in the Opponents' stadiums.
