The Oregon Ducks and Ohio State Buckeyes had a large viewing audience for their Rose Bowl matchup in the College Football Playoff Quarterfinals on ESPN. It was the most watched non-NFL American sporting event since last year's national championship.

The Ducks will once again be expected to contend for a Big Ten title in 2025, but Dan Lanning has plenty of holes to fill in the offseason.

The No. 1 Ducks were pummeled 41-21 by No. 8 Ohio State on Wednesday at the Rose Bowl, eliminating them from the College Football Playoff in the quarterfinal round. Oregon went down by as much as 34-0 in the second quarter, amassing just 139 yards to Ohio State’s 390 in the first half alone.
