Ohio State vs. Oregon score: Live game updates, College Football Playoff scores, Rose Bowl 2025 coverage

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Conference realignment has forever changed the landscape of college football, and the Rose Bowl is no longer be played between the champions of the Big Ten and Pac-12 because the latter no longer exists (at least not in a recognizable form).

Yet, in the first year of the 12-team College Football Playoff this season, we get a classic Rose Bowl matchup. We also get a rematch of one of the best games of the season after 1-seed Oregon outlasted 8-seed Ohio State in a 32-31 thriller at Autzen Stadium on Oct. 12. It’s the third time the programs have met in the Rose Bowl with Ohio State winning both the previous matchups in 1958 and 2010. It’s also a rematch of the very first College Football Playoff National Championship (2014).

However, while so much about this seems familiar, every other time these two met in the postseason, it was their final game of the year. This time, that will remain true for only one of them. The winner moves on to the Cotton Bowl and keeps its national title hopes alive. The loser goes home.

It’ll all play out in the most bucolic setting in college football on the first day of a new year, and we’ll be here with you for every snap.
