The Oregon Ducks are now Bowl Eligible


In all the excitement in the win over U$C and the fact that ESPN Gameday is coming back to Autzen, is the fact that at 7 and 1 the Ducks are now Bowl eligible. Under the college football rules in order to go to a Bowl Game a team has to have more wins than losses. Therefor, since Oregon has a 12 game regular season they, even if they lost their last four games they would still go to a Bowl. There is an exception that allows a team to go to a Bowl to fulfill conference obligations if the team has an equal number of wins and losses if no other team is eligible to fulfill the conferences obligations to that Bowl. Of course, we now do not need to rely upon that exception Go Ducks beat ASU!
