Stinging from loss to Utah, Oregon hosts rival Oregon State

By The Associated Press

Although Oregon’s chance at joining the College Football Playoff field was thwarted by a loss to Utah last week, the No. 11 Ducks can still play for the Pac-12 title and a chance at the Rose Bowl with a victory over Oregon State. If the Beavers win, they could be in position to win the Pac-12 North, but they’ll need Washington to beat Washington State in the Apple Cup. If Washington State wins, and then Oregon State wins, the Cougars will claim the division.
