The Oregon Ducks football team’s Rose Bowl loss to Ohio State will sting for a bit, but that shouldn’t diminish what was a great regular season.
Oregon finished as the Big Ten champions and with just that one loss, the Ducks finished the 2024 season ranked No. 4 in the country in the last US LBM USA TODAY Coaches poll of the season.. The only teams ahead of them are the two national championship participants, Ohio State and Notre Dame as well as Texas.
As it turns out, the Big Ten was the strongest conference in the nation with the Buckeyes winning it all, Oregon at No. 4 and Penn State at No. 5. Indiana finished No. 10 and Illinois at No. 16.
The Ducks’ 2024 success doesn’t seem to be fleeting as Oregon as named as one of the top contenders to win the national championship in 2025. But that’s next season. This year is still foremost on most of the Duck fans’ mind and one can only think of what could have been, especially since the Buckeyes won it all.
There will still be plenty of happy memories associated with this season, however. The win over Ohio State at Autzen Stadium has to be No. 1 on most lists.
