Is Oregon Bowl eligible?

For a team to be bowl-eligible, they need to secure at least six wins in the regular season. The Oregon Ducks secured theIR sixth win of the 2023 campaign when they defeated the Washington State Cougars 38-24 last month. Thus, with that win, they qualified to be eligible for bowl games.

Various credible sites predict the Ducks will be one of the four teams in the playoff semifinals vying for a national championship. Dan Lanning and his team are coming off a 49-13 victory over Arizona State in Week 12.

Now, if they can go on to win next week against Oregon State, then they will face the Washington Huskies in December in the Pac-12 championship game and the winner will secure a berth in the College Football Playoffs.

With the kind of performance quarterback Bo Nix has been putting up, the Ducks are favorites on paper to win in Week 13 and clash with the Huskies for the conference title and a playoff berth. So far, Nix has gone on to record 3,539 passing yards and 35 TD passes. Can he continue this dominant performance for his team?
