The No. 1 seed Oregon Ducks take on the No. 8 seed Ohio State Buckeyes in the annual Rose Bowl Game on Jan. 1 in Pasadena, Calif. This will be the second time these two teams have met this season, with much higher stakes at play this time around in the College Football Playoff quarterfinal.
The No. 3 Ducks beat the No. 2 Buckeyes in a 32–31 thriller on Oct. 12, which turned out to be a consequential game in the Big Ten title race.
We’ve got you covered below with everything you need to know ahead of the game so you don’t miss a second of action.
Aside from capturing a Rose Bowl title, which is one of the greatest bowls in the history of college football, this year’s edition is a little more meaningful. The winner of the New Year’s Day tilt will move on to the College Football Playoff semifinal to take on the winner of the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl between No. 5 seed Texas and No. 4 seed Arizona State.
The Rose Bowl Game between Ohio State and Oregon will be broadcast live from the Rose Bowl in Pasadena on ABC and ESPN with the commentary team of Chris Fowler (play-by-play), Kirk Herbstreit (Color), Holly Rowe and Stormy Buonantony (sideline reporters). The core broadcast team also covered Ohio State’s opening round College Football Playoff game in Columbus when the Buckeyes beat the Tennessee Volunteers on Dec. 21.
