Ohio State-Oregon football history: All-times series record between Buckeyes, Ducks

When the 2024 college football schedule was released over the summer, Week 7 was circled as a potential massive weekend, with several potential top-25 conference matchups.

One of those circled games is taking place in the Pacific Northwest in a town with a population of 177,923 people, with No. 2 Ohio State and No. 3 Oregon squaring off inside Autzen Stadium. But while Saturday's contest is the first official Big Ten game between both programs, it isn't the first the Buckeyes and Ducks have faced off on the gridiron.

In fact, both programs have quite the history against each other over the years, including a College Football Playoff national championship game.

Ohio State-Oregon series history

According to Ohio State football's record books, Saturday's Big Ten matchup will be the 11th time both Ohio State and Oregon have played each other.

It will be the first time that both programs have played each other since a 2021 nonconference game at Ohio Stadium, when the 11th-ranked Ducks upset No. 3 Ohio State 35-28 in Columbus. Behind running back CJ Verdell's big day on the ground of 161 yards and three touchdowns, the Ducks handed the Buckeyes their first loss in the regular season under Urban Meyer since 2018.

Ohio State has traveled to Autzen Stadium and Oregon just once in the previous 10 meetings between both programs, coming in 1967, when the Buckeyes shut out the Ducks 30-0.
