In addition to the title game on December 18, the conference seeded all remaining teams for a game during that weekend.^[1] Rankings from AP Poll.

On August 11, 2020, the Pac-12 Conference canceled all fall sports competitions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.^[2] However, the decision was reversed on September 24, when the Pac-12 announced that they would play a seven-game schedule starting November 6.^[3]

Despite finishing in second place in the North Division during the regular season, the Ducks would represent the division in the Pac-12 Championship Game due to first-place Washington having an insufficient number of players available due to COVID-19. There, they defeated the undefeated South Division champion USC to receive the Pac-12's automatic bid to a New Year's Six bowl game. They were invited to the Fiesta Bowl, where they lost to Big 12 runner-up Iowa State.

Schedule

Oregon had three games scheduled against Ohio State, North Dakota State, and Hawaii, but canceled these games on July 10 due to the Pac-12 Conference's decision to play a conference-only schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic.^[4]^[5]

Oregon's game against UCLA had initially been scheduled for Friday, November 20, but was moved forward a day to accommodate UCLA playing California on Sunday, November 15. The change occurred after both UCLA and California had their initially scheduled games for Saturday, November 14 (against Utah and Arizona State, respectively), canceled due to COVID-19 outbreaks within the other programs.^[6]

On December 14, Oregon's scheduled game against Colorado in Los Angeles for December 19 was canceled after the Ducks were elevated into the Pac-12 Championship Game against USC. The change occurred after Washington had a COVID-19 outbreak.^[7]
