Rivalries take a lot of different forms in the world of college football. I could reasonably argue that the Oregon Ducks have a handful of rivals, and each answer is respectable.
If you’re talking about the team that Duck fans despise the most, it’s probably the Washington Huskies. The team that it hurts most to lose to is probably Oregon State. Off the field, when fighting for national recognition and, more recently, recruiting success, USC is Oregon’s biggest rival. If we’re talking about the team that has gotten in the Ducks’ way the most over the past half-decade, I’d say it’s the Utah Utes who are Oregon’s biggest foe.
The Ducks have many rivals in the Pac-12, and heading into our final year of the conference as we know it before USC and UCLA take off for the Big Ten, we wanted to answer the question once and for all…
Who is Oregon’s biggest rival?
