CFP selection committee's Hunter Yurachek breaks out awkward '6-7' jokeJohn Leuzzi, USA TODAY NETWORKWed, November 26, 2025 at 1:51 AM UTC·2 min readOne of the bigger changes to the projected 12-team College Football Playoff bracket that came out of the fourth top 25 rankings reveal was Oregon moving ahead of Ole Miss.
However, the biggest takeaway from the CFP rankings reveal show was provided by CFP selection committee chair Hunter Yurachek.

The "6-7" trend dates back to the song "Doot Doot," released by rapper Skrilla in December 2024, and has become a TikTok viral trend in recent months. It was recently named as the "Word of the Year" by Dictionary.com and means either "so-so" or "maybe this, maybe that" and is an example of "brainrot slang" per Dictionary.com.

The Ducks picked up their biggest win of the season in the selection committee's eyes in Week 12 with a 42-27 win over USC. The win for Dan Lanning's squad not only keeps them in the mix for a spot in the Big Ten championship game but has them well-positioned to host a first-round home game in Eugene, regardless of whether they make a trip to Indiana to defend their Big Ten title.
Ole Miss dropped down a spot to the No. 7 seed despite being on bye. Both Ole Miss and Oregon have the same number of wins at 10, though the Ducks have one more ranked win than the Rebels at three, which includes their Sept. 27 win over then-No. 3 Penn State.
Yurachek was also asked whether the Rebels could be penalized depending on Lane Kiffin's upcoming decision of whether he's staying at Ole Miss after the 2025 season or leaving for LSU or one of the other open head coaching vacancies that are still open.

Their strength of schedule continues to climb but they've been dominant on the offense and defense side of the ball,(and are) really good on special teams," Yurachek said.
"The committee had been waiting for them to have this signature win to really put in what we thought they deserve to be."
