Just one week after the Oregon Ducks and Ohio State Buckeyes competed in the College Football Playoff Quarterfinal at the Rose Bowl, the iconic stadium is in danger as multiple massive wildfires rage in Los Angeles.

• Oregon crushed by Ohio State, ending No. 1 Ducks’ season: Previously undefeated Oregon (13-1), which prides itself in physicality and mental toughness, was punched in the mouth from the start as 90,732 attended the 111th Rose Bowl.

Ohio State and Oregon meet in the Rose Bowl for a trip to the semifinals. This game takes place at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. This is the 12th all-time meeting between the Ducks and Buckeyes on the gridiron.

The Ohio State Buckeyes put on a show against the Oregon Ducks in the Rose Bowl on January 1, 2025, annihilating their opponent 41-21 and taking a 34-8 lead into the half. They were led by Will Howard and Jeremiah Smith.

Despite the setback, Oregon has a bright future. The Ducks' ability to recruit and their acquisitions through the transfer portal have paved the way for long-term success.

The Grandaddy of Them All was the most-watched of them all. The Oregon Ducks’ disheartening 41-21 defeat to the Ohio State Buckeyes in the Rose Bowl drew an average of 21.1 million viewers and reached a peak of 24.
