Oregon had already clinched its spot in the Big Ten championship game ahead of its game with Washington. Duck fans had an extra week to prepare for the game if they were/are going to travel for it.

What we didn’t know on Saturday was who Oregon would face. Ohio State seemed like the most likely opponent. The Buckeyes were a 20+ point favorite over Michigan. But as we know, they lost and that opened up the door for Penn State and Indiana.

Next was Penn State who had to beat Maryland and they were in. Well James Franklin and his squad took care of business and they are in.

This will be the first meeting between Oregon and Penn State since 1995. The two teams have only met five times in history.

The game will be played in Lucas Oil stadium in Indianapolis next Saturday, December 7. Kickoff is set for 5 PM PST. It will air/stream on CBS.

Earlier Sunday FDSportsbook.com opened betting with the Ducks being a 3.5 favorite in this championship game.

The winner of this game will have a first round bye in the upcoming college football playoffs.
