The end of November in the world of college football always is fraught with chaos, and Week 13 did not disappoint.

The morning featured the No. 5 Indiana Hoosiers getting blown out by the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes, while the No. 9 Ole Miss Rebels were upset by an unranked Florida Gators team.

Meanwhile, the No. 14 BYU Cougars are getting handled by the No. 21 Arizona State Sun Devils, the No. 16 Colorado Buffaloes are losing to an unranked Kansas Jayhawks team at the half, and the No. 4 Penn State Nittany Lions are losing to an unranked Minnesota team at halftime.

For the No. 1 Oregon Ducks, it's a great time to have a bye week.

Oregon's beloved mascot, 'The Duck,' made that abundantly clear on social media with a perfect two-word message to all of his fans going along with a picture that screams "relaxation."

What beach The Duck is at is unclear, but it doesn't matter in the end. All that matters is that everyone's feathered friend is getting some R&R while his team capitalizes on the chance to get healthy and prepare for a stretch run through the Big Ten Championship Game and College Football Playoff over the next couple of months.

The Ducks get back to action next week for a rivalry game against the Washington Huskies in Eugene. After that, they will go on the road to Indianapolis for the Big Ten Championship Game, which will more than likely be a rematch against the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Until then, don't bother the Duck. He's enjoying a well-deserved day off.
