How the Big Ten Move Changed Oregon's Rivalries

Oregon's rivalry landscape changed forever in 2024 when the Ducks joined the Big Ten. The Civil War with Oregon State is on pause (no game scheduled in 2026 for the first time since 1944). Washington followed Oregon to the Big Ten, keeping that rivalry alive. And new blood feuds are forming: Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State. The old Pac-12 rivalries with USC and Stanford carry decades of history. The new Big Ten matchups carry the weight of conference championships and College Football Playoff implications. These are the opponents that define Oregon football, past and present.
