Will Oregon Ducks have pair of Top-25 non-conference matchups?
How many Top-25 non-conference games will the Oregon Ducks play in 2026? The Boise State Broncos and Oklahoma State Cowboys are prime candidates.
The Oregon Ducks enter the 2026 season with high expectations of winning the national championship, following a year where they reached the College Football Playoff semifinal. They have a challenging schedule, facing strong opponents such as Ohio State, Michigan, and Washington in their closing games. Preseason polls suggest that Boise State and Oklahoma State could be ranked in the Top-25, making their non-conference matchups potentially significant for the Ducks.
If both Boise State and Oklahoma State end up ranked, Oregon would face two Top-25 non-conference games, adding to their busy schedule. Other ranked opponents include USC, Ohio State, Michigan, Washington, UCLA, and Illinois, bringing the total to potentially seven or eight ranked opponents in the Ducks' 2026 season.
