Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks will be in action next Saturday as they take on the Penn State Nittany Lions in the B1G Championship Game at Lucas Oil Stadium.

The Ducks are the No. 1 ranked team in the country as they finished the regular season undefeated. However, there has been a lot of talk if the No. 5 seed is the best position to be in when it comes to the College Football Playoff.

For Oregon, they will be the 1 seed with a win. With a loss, the Ducks would fall out of a first-round bye but likely still find themselves hosting a first-round Playoff game in Eugene.

Lanning was asked if there was a difference in either of the 2 scenarios, and he said all he is focused on is playing football.

“Who cares? Put the ball out,” Lanning said during a Sunday teleconference for the Big Ten Championship. “Let’s go play football. You line up against who they put in the bracket. At the end of the day, you have to win your games to get to the end.”

Right now, all of the focus for everybody in Eugene is preparing for and taking care of business against Penn State in the B1G Championship. This is the first year that Oregon is in the B1G, and to cap it off with a conference championship would be the perfect ending.

Kickoff between the 2 teams will be on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT and the game will be on CBS.
