List Of Oregon Ducks Bowl Games
The Oregon Ducks college football team competes as part of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), representing the University of Oregon in the North Division of the Pacific-12 Conference (Pac-12). Since the establishment of the team in 1893, Oregon has appeared in 25 bowl games. Included in these games are 8 combined appearances in the traditional "big four" bowl games (the Rose, Sugar, Cotton, and Orange) and 3 Bowl Championship Series (BCS) game appearances, including one in the BCS National Championship Game. Through the history of the program, 7 separate coaches have led the Ducks to bowl games with Mike Bellotti having the most appearances with 12. In March 2009, Chip Kelly was hired as head coach, and has led the Ducks to BCS bowl appearances in each of his three seasons at Oregon. After losses in both the 2010 Rose Bowl and the 2011 BCS National Championship Game, Kelley led the Ducks to a victory in the 2012 Rose Bowl over Wisconsin 45–38. A victory in that game brought Oregon's overall bowl record to 10 wins and 15 losses, placing the Ducks 32nd among all FBS schools for bowl appearances.
