The Ducks await the end of the Sugar Bowl to find out their opponents in Arlington, Texas.
On Monday, January 12 at 8:30 p.m. ET, the No. 2 Oregon Ducks will be in Cowboys Stadium to play in the first-ever College Football Playoff final. The Ducks clinched their spot by embarrassing defending champion Florida State in the Rose Bowl, 59-20.
Oregon's opponent will be determined by the Sugar Bowl between No. 1 Alabama and No. 4 Ohio State, to be finished later New Year's Day. (It's on ESPN!)
This will be Oregon's second appearance in an officially ordained national championship game. The Ducks' first came in the 2010 season's BCS Championship, when they lost, 22-19, to Cam Newton's Auburn in Arizona. A new era, and the Ducks are back at the top.
According to odds released before the Playoff began, Oregon would be a 6.5-point favorite against Ohio State and a 2.5-point underdog to Alabama. We'll wait to see both the opponent and the actual spreads, after Vegas gets another look at the team facing Oregon. You gotta think the Ducks just moved the needle themselves a little bit.
A win in Arlington would be Oregon's first-ever national championship.
