Oregon will face the winner of No. 8 Ohio State vs. No. 9 Tennessee. The first round matchup kickoff is scheduled for 5 p.m. PT on Dec. 21 at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio. The game will be the first for Tennessee ever at Ohio State. The loser's season comes to an end while the winner faces Oregon.

How will Lanning prepare his team, when they don't know who their opponent will be until December 21?

"I think we have to look ahead and find issues through common opponents that could be potential issues for us down the road," Lanning said. "So, we're gonna have to look at more than just one team as we prepare and then have some periods within those practices where it focuses more onoverall scheme within those issues - Whether that's quarterback runs or empty packages or unbalanced and blitz packages that we might see from different groups of opponents down the stretch. And then spend a lot of time just focusing on our improvement."

QUOTABLE: The Ducks' path through the College Football Playoff bracket is more tumultuous than others' path due to a possible looming rematch with Ohio State and then potentially the No. 5 Texas Longhorns. What does Lanning think about the tough bracket for Oregon?

"An opportunity, right?" Lanning said on the College Football Selection Show. "In our world, we always talk about red light, green light. Focus on the things you can control, right? That's what we're gonna focus on. And winning a national championship isn't supposed to be easy. You can ask coach Nick Saban. It's not supposed to be easy. So if our path's a little bit tougher, kudos to us if we go through it and take care of business."
