• Oregon crushed by Ohio State, ending No. 1 Ducks’ season: Previously undefeated Oregon (13-1), which prides itself in physicality and mental toughness, was punched in the mouth from the start as 90,732 attended the 111th Rose Bowl.

For decades, the Ducks have knocked at the door of becoming a desired member of college football's elite. All they're missing is the trophy.

Ohio State matchup may cause the league to push for future seeding that doesn't prioritize conference championships.
