Autzen Set For First CFP Game
Oregon earned a spot in the College Football Playoff field for the second year in a row after a terrific 11-1 regular season, and the No. 5 Ducks will make history on Saturday when they host No. 12 seed James Madison in the first-ever CFP game in Autzen Stadium. Oregon is making its third CFP appearance overall and is one of just four teams (Georgia, Indiana, Ohio State) to make the field each of the last two years. The Ducks will look for their first CFP victory since beating Florida State in the CFP Semifinal at the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1, 2015. This will be the first meeting on the gridiron between Oregon and James Madison, the Sun Belt Conference champion. The winner of Saturday's contest will advance to face No. 4 Texas Tech at the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day.
A Win Would...
» Give Oregon its first CFP win since Jan. 1, 2015.
» Make Oregon one of three teams (Georgia, Ohio State) to reach the CFP Quarterfinals each of the last two years.
» Send UO to its first-ever Orange Bowl appearance.
» Secure a third consecutive 12-win season for the second time in program history (2010-12).
» Give Oregon its eighth all-time 12-win season, all since 2010.
» Extend the nation's longest active home nonconference winning streak to 38 games.
Setting The Standard
Oregon has been one of the nation's best teams since head coach Dan Lanning took over, reaching double-digit wins in all four seasons under Lanning and each of the last five. The Ducks' 46-7 overall record since 2022 is third-best in the nation, and they lead the country in winning percentage (90.0) since 2023 while tying for second in wins (36) in that span. Oregon is one of three teams (Georgia, Ohio State) to reach 11 wins in each of the last three seasons, and the Ducks, Bulldogs and Buckeyes are the only teams to reach double-digits wins every season since 2021.
Every Phase of the Game
Oregon has established itself as one of the nation's most well-rounded teams once again in 2025. Entering the College Football Playoff, the Ducks are one of only three FBS teams (Indiana, Texas Tech) in the top 15 nationally for scoring offense (9th, 38.2 PPG), total offense (13th, 465.2 YPG), scoring defense (8th, 14.8 PPG) and total defense (4th, 251.6 YPG). Additionally, UO owns the nation's No. 3 passing defense at 144.3 yards allowed per game, and ranks 14th in rushing offense at 218.42 yards per game. Oregon has also been the nation's most balanced team in terms of explosive plays, leading all FBS teams in plays of 20-plus yards allowed (24) while ranking third in offensive plays of 20-plus yards (82). Oregon's overall team grade of 94.1 by Pro Football Focus is fifth-best nationally and third-best in the Big Ten.
If You're Good Enough, You're Old Enough
It's been a youth movement for the Ducks in 2025 as their last two recruiting classes have taken on prominent roles early in their careers. Oregon ranks second behind only North Texas in touchdowns scored by both true freshmen (23) and freshmen overall (25). UO has had 35 total true or redshirt freshmen see the field at some point this season, and true freshman DB Brandon Finney Jr. has started all 12 games. WR Dakorien Moore started each of the first eight games before missing the last four due to injury. Redshirt freshman DB Aaron Flowers has also started all 12 games, and fellow redshirt freshman DB Ify Obidegwu has made nine starts. Oregon has played 10 total freshmen in all 12 games as well as a pair of true sophomores in DB Peyton Woodyard and TE Roger Saleapaga, and 29 total freshmen (12 true, 17 redshirt) saw the field in the season opener vs. Montana State.
Home Cookin'
Oregon has been one of the most dominant teams in the nation at home over the last decade-plus, and the Ducks put together a perfect 7-0 home slate for the second year in a row in 2024. It was Oregon's fifth undefeated regular season at home since 2019 and 12th in program history. The Ducks extended their home winning streak to a FBS-best 18 games with a 3-0 start in 2025 before suffering their first loss at home since 2022 in Week 7 against then-No. 7 Indiana, ending the nation's longest regular-season win streak at 23 games, but they got right back in the win column with a 21-7 win over Wisconsin on Oct. 25. Oregon completed a 6-1 home slate during the 2025 regular season with back-to-back wins over Minnesota and USC. UO is 44-2 (.957) at home since an overtime loss to Stanford on Sept. 22, 2018, a span that included 23 straight home wins to match the longest home win streak in program history. Oregon is 53-4 (.930) at home since the start of the 2017 season, boasting the nation's fourth-best win percentage and tied for third-most wins during that time. Oregon owns a stellar 25-2 (.926) record inside Autzen Stadium under head coach Dan Lanning since the start of the 2022 season.
Oregon's success at home against nonconference opponents extends even further, as the Ducks own the nation's longest active nonconference home winning streak at 37 games after dominant wins over Montana State, Oklahoma State and Oregon State. UO has not lost a nonconference home game since Sept. 20, 2008 - a 37-32 loss to Boise State - and has been dominant overall in Autzen Stadium in that span with an 100-12 (.893) record at home since the start of the 2009 season. Oregon's win over Oregon State in Week 4 was the 100th nonconference victory in Autzen Stadium history, and the Ducks will have a chance to extend their streak to 38 games with a win over James Madison in the first round of the College Football Playoff.
