Oregon Riding 6-Game Win Streak

The Ducks opened with back-to-back non-conference wins, before downing Northwestern on the road, 34-14, in their Big Ten opener.
They then blew out Oregon State, 41-7, before returning to conference action with a big 30-24 victory at a Penn State ranked in the top three by AP at the time.
Oregon were brought back down to Earth a week later as they lost 30-10 at home to Indiana, but they issued an immediate response in the form of a 56-10 rout of Rutgers, and they have been on a roll since.
The Ducks backed up that victory with a 21-7 win over Wisconsin, and then beat Iowa 18-16 on the road before returning home to beat Minnesota, 42-13, and USC, 42-27.
They then wrapped up the regular season, and secured a playoff place, by winning 26-14 in Washington last time out.
