Life’s good if you’re a Duck. Oregon sat at home and got a much-needed rest after eight straight weeks and watched two top-five Big Ten opponents clash. They still don’t know if they’ll face Ohio State again, this time in the Big Ten Championship Game, but it appears destined at this point.

Ryan Day entered the season 2-6 against top-five teams but is 2-1 against them this fall, with his only blemish being the one-point loss at Oregon. The Buckeyes can clinch a rematch against Oregon in the Big Ten Championship Game with a win this week against Michigan.
