Oregon can assure its spot in College Football Playoff with win over Washington: Sneak peek

The Oregon Ducks are preparing for a crucial matchup against the Washington Huskies on November 29, 2025, at Husky Stadium in Seattle. Ranked No. 5, Oregon aims to secure a spot in the College Football Playoff and potentially earn a berth in the Big Ten Championship game. For that to remain a possibility, Michigan must defeat Ohio State earlier in the day.

Washington, with an 8-3 record, seeks a nine-win season and a better bowl game outcome, while also aiming to win the rivalry game. The Huskies have seen notable performances from quarterback Demond Williams Jr., who has accumulated 2,721 passing yards and 19 touchdowns, and running back Jonah Coleman, who has faced injuries but still managed 651 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns this season.

Oregon, holding a 10-1 record, has been dominant under coach Dan Lanning when rushing for over 200 yards, a feat Washington has managed to prevent against any opponent this season.
