College Football:

Oregon is the Big 10 Champion and number 1 seed in the College Football Playoffs. That means a New Year’s Day Rose Bowl date with the winner of Ohio State vs Tennessee. The Ducks are 13-0 for the first time ever, tying the program record for wins in a single season. When asked on the ESPN Playoff matchup selection show about potentially having to play the Buckeyes again head coach Dan Lanning said the team would focus only on things they could control. A lot of pundits are saying it isn’t a fair draw, and the Ducks have a harder path to the championship than Penn State. Hear more from coaches and players on the championship win over the Nittany Lions on the Oregon Ducks Insider daily podcast at KBND dot com.

The Trail Blazers were doomed by a lop-sided second quarter where they were outscored by 20 and fell to the Lakers 107 - 98 last night. Portland is off until Friday.

NFL: Week 14

The Seahawks tightened the lead in the NFC West after taking down the Cardinals yesterday. Geno Smith was an efficient 24 of 30 for 230 yards with a touchdown in the 30 - 18 win where the rushing game was also effective without injured starting running back Kenneth Walker III. Seattle has won 4 straight to get to 8 - 5 a game ahead of 7 - 6 Los Angeles with Arizona slipping to 3rd at 6 -7 with the 6 - 7 49ers still technically alive to win the division after a 38 - 13 victory over Chicago which snapped the three game losing streak. Next it's a quick turn around and another potential divisional shake-up when the 9ers host the Rams Thursday.
