Oregon and Ohio State are meeting for the third time in the Rose Bowl, where Terrelle Pryor quarterbacked the Buckeyes to victory in 2010. Ohio State also beat Oregon in the first CFP championship game in 2014, but the Ducks have since beaten the Buckeyes in 2021 and again this season.

The College Football Playoff continues on New Year's Day when (1) Oregon faces (8) Ohio State in the Rose Bowl. This is a rematch of one of the best games of the 2024 college football season when Oregon defeated Ohio State 32-31 on Oct.

If the sequel is as good as the original, somebody better make sure Granddaddy doesn’t have a heart attack. Oregon’s 32-31 win over Ohio State on Oct. 12 was the game of the year in college football.
