The Ducks have won 15 straight since and have the third longest active home winning streak behind only the Georgia Bulldogs with 32 and Washington with 20. The Ducks will look to extend that streak to 16 when they play Montana State.

Oregon Ducks Defending Big Ten Title

The Oregon Ducks joined the Big Ten conference for their first season in 2024. There were many skeptics wondering if Oregon would be able to adjust and succeed playing in the Big Ten. The Ducks quickly silenced those doubters.

Oregon went undefeated in the regular season with a record of 12-0 overall and 9-0 in the Big Ten. This included a 32-31 home win over the Ohio State Buckeyes. The Ducks then beat the Penn State Nittany Lions in the Big Ten championship. Oregon made the College Football Playoff as the No. 1 ranked team.

Unfortunately, it was a brutal ending to their season in the playoff quarterfinals at the Rose Bowl. Off a bye, Oregon played the Ohio State Buckeyes in a rematch from their regular season thriller. The Buckeyes got their revenge and put it on the Ducks right away.

Ohio State got out to a 34-0 lead in the first half and ended up winning 41-21. The Buckeyes would win their next two games over the Texas Longhorns and Notre Dame Fighting Irish to win the National Championship.
