What Happens if Oregon Loses the Big Ten Championship Game? Oregon Ducks Mailbag
Still a Rose Bowl Team?
Oregon all but clinched a Rose Bowl berth with its dominant win over rival Oregon State last weekend.
A loss to Utah in the Pac-12 Championship Game would have put the Ducks on the outside looking in for the Rose Bowl.
However, with the win, Oregon is now guaranteed a spot in the Granddaddy of Them All regardless of what happens in Las Vegas on Friday.
New Year's Eve in Pasadena
The Ducks will face the winner of the Big Ten Championship Game between Purdue and Michigan on New Year's Eve in Pasadena.
Oregon has not played in the Rose Bowl since the 2019 season, when they lost to Wisconsin 28-27.
The Ducks have a 5-2 record in their last seven Rose Bowl appearances.
Finishing Strong
Oregon will be looking to finish the season on a strong note after losing two of their last three games.
The Ducks have not lost three straight games since the 2016 season.
A win in the Rose Bowl would give Oregon a 10-3 record on the season, which would be their best record since going 12-2 in the 2019 season.
