In their first season as members of the Big Ten Conference, Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks did what few people expected, winning the conference championship with a victory over the Penn State Nittany Lions in Indianapolis. Now, they hope to follow that with another successful season in 2025.

Fornelli’s projection of 10.5 wins is in line with how BetMGM sees things in Eugene, with a relatively easy schedule lining up for the Ducks. The toughest games come on the road against Penn State and Washington, and at home against Indiana and USC.
