No. 1 Oregon football will face Penn State in Big Ten championship game
The winner of the Big Ten championship game will receive an automatic bid into the 12-team College Football Playoff along with a first-round bye. If Oregon were to win the conference title, it would be all but assured to maintain its No. 1 ranking and be placed in the Rose Bowl to host the winner of the No. 8 vs. No. 9 seed first-round matchup.
