Positive news emerges regarding Oregon-Oregon State rivalry

Some of the best rivalries in college football have found themselves on the chopping block due to conference expansion and realignment over the past five years.

Heck, the Pac-12 as most knew it doesn't even exist anymore. 

Speaking of the one-time "Conference of Champions," both the Oregon Ducks and the Oregon State Beavers used to be a part of the Pac-12. 

Their rivalry, typically referred to as the Civil War, dates back to 1894. These two bitter rivals have matched up 129 times in college football history. That's tied for the seventh-most meetings all time and is second-most at the FBS level.

The issue this series has run into is that Oregon has been a part of the Big Ten since 2024. Oregon State will "headline" the new-look Pac-12 in 2026 alongside Washington State.

Once a Power Five, the Pac-12 is now essentially a Group of Five conference. 

That means the civil war between Oregon and Oregon State won't continue without intentional scheduling decisions, and the good news for college football fans is that this series is expected to continue through at least 2032.

The two schools announced four future matchups on Monday.
