Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.Oregon was one of the biggest disappointments in last year’s College Football Playoff, as the Ducks lost to Ohio State during the Rose Bowl in their first game of the Playoff.Therefore, the Ducks are looking to avenge their loss this year. After finishing the season with an 11-1 record, with a lone loss to Indiana, Oregon couldn’t crack the Big Ten championship, which means that Ohio State and Indiana have likely secured higher spots in the ranking than their conference rivals, regardless of this weekend’s results.Still, Oregon could finish the year with a top-four ranking, which would give the Ducks a second-straight year with a bye. However, if the Ducks finish with a ranking outside the top four, they will get to host a Playoff game for the first time.A home game in Oregon would surely be one of the most hostile in the first round, as whichever team the Ducks play will travel a good deal just to face a fierce environment. Over the last three seasons, the Ducks’ only home loss came this year vs. the Hoosiers.Here’s a breakdown of Oregon’s path in the College Football Playoff, including the team’s next opponent.MORE: Oregon has strong signing day as one of the biggest winnersCollege Football Playoff bracket*This section will be updated*MORE: Where will CFP games be played this year?Who will Oregon play next?Oregon’s CFP opponent will be determined on Dec. 7, when the committee reveals the bracket for this years College Football Playoff.MORE: Should Notre Dame or Miami be in the CFP?When does Oregon play again?Oregon will most likely play in the first round of the College Football Playoff on either Dec. 19 or Dec. 20 as the Ducks host a game in Eugene.MORE: Who makes up the 12-person CFP committee?College Football Playoff schedule 2025DateRoundMatchupTime (ET)TV ChannelDec. 19First RoundTBD vs. TBD8 p.m.ABC/ESPNDec. 20First RoundTBD vs. TBDNoonABC/ESPNDec. 20First RoundTBD vs. TBD3:30 p.m.TNT/truTVDec. 20First RoundTBD vs. TBD7:30 p.m.TNT/truTVDec. 31QuarterfinalsTBD vs. TBD7:30 p.m.ESPNJan. 1QuarterfinalsTBD vs. TBD12 p.m.ESPNJan. 1QuarterfinalsTBD vs. TBD4 p.m. ESPNJan. 1QuarterfinalsTBD vs. TBD8 p.m.ESPNJan. 8SemifinalsTBD vs. TBD7:30 p.m.ESPNJan. 9SemifinalsTBD vs. TBD7:30 p.m.ESPNJan. 19National ChampionshipTBD vs. TBD7:30 p.m.ESPN
