We’re less than 24 hours away from the 2025 Rose Bowl, where the Oregon Ducks and Ohio State Buckeyes will face off to ring in the New Year. This is a quarterfinal matchup in the College Football Playoff, but it’s also a battle between the two best teams in college football.
The Ducks beat the Buckeyes, 32-31, earlier this season in Autzen Stadium as 3.5-point underdogs. This time around, Ohio State is favored once again, this time by 2.5 points.
Oregon hasn’t played since the Big Ten Championship on December 7th, when they beat Penn State, 45-37. Ohio State played much more recently, taking Tennessee down, 42-17, on December 21st in the first round of the College Football Playoff.
The Ducks have been in Pasadena for a few days, practicing, preparing, and speaking to the media ahead of the New Year’s Day game. Below are thirty images from the Ducks’ lead up to the Rose Bowl, before they take the field at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
