Oregon

Tonight, Auburn will play Oregon in the BCS National Championship Game -- which is also a UCFC game. (It's nice when it works out that way).

Oregon has only held the UCFC twice in its history. On October 23, 1954, Oregon took the crown by beating San Jose State (!) 26-7. The next week, the Ducks defended the title by beating Washington 26-7. That's it, that's the list. The next week UCLA beat Oregon 41-0, and the Ducks have never regained the title. On October 18, 1980, the Ducks tied UCFC holder USC 7-7, but of course the Trojans kept the crown. On October 2, 1993, the Ducks lost to holder Cal 42-41. That's as close as they've gotten. Their record in UCFC games is 2-13-1. But if they win tonight, these pages will be green and gold for a long time.
