Coming off of a historic season in which they won the Big Ten Championship and entered the College Football Playoffs as the No. 1 team in the nation, the Oregon Ducks bring some high expectations into the 2025 season. Dan Lanning’s squad is going to have a lot of opportunities to prove themselves throughout the year, too, with some high-profile games that put them up against some of the best teams in the conference.
Over the years, we’ve seen these high-profile games get the ESPN ‘College GameDay’ treatment, hosting the flagship show a dozen times over the last few decades. The Ducks are also typically a prominent team to be featured on ‘GameDay’ when on the road, being featured 19 times outside of Eugene.

It will also be the first meeting between the two teams since 1994.
