Oregon Ducks Clinch Big Ten Title Game Spot

The Oregon Ducks have officially clinched a spot in the Big Ten Championship Game set for December 7, 2024, in Indianapolis. This decision follows a comprehensive evaluation by the Big Ten Conference, which confirmed that the Ducks, with an 11-0 record, are guaranteed to finish as either the first or second seed, irrespective of the outcomes of the remaining games. The conference initially misinterpreted its tiebreaker rules, suggesting Oregon needed other teams to lose, but later affirmed the Ducks' championship berth. Oregon's impressive season, led by coach Dan Lanning, features a victory over Ohio State, cementing their position in the title game. The Ducks' opponent is yet to be determined, with Indiana, Ohio State, and Penn State still in contention. This marks a significant achievement for Oregon, now ranked No. 1, as they continue their pursuit of a College Football Playoff berth.
