With the Pac-12 North lead at stake, the Ducks traveled to Seattle to square off with arch-rival Washington. The game started as a back and forth battle, with both teams trading touchdowns in the first half. Washington built a 28–14 lead in the 3rd quarter thanks to three touchdown passes by Jacob Eason. Down a few scores late in the 3rd, the Ducks got a touchdown from Cyrus Habibi-Likio to cut the deficit to seven. After a Washington field goal, the Ducks responded with a 4th-down TD pass from Herbert to Mycah Pittman to end the 3rd Quarter that would cut Washington's lead to three. Midway through the 4th Quarter, still down by a field goal, the Ducks went to the ground attack to get close enough for Justin Herbert's five-yard TD strike to Jaylon Redd to give the Ducks the lead. Washington wouldn't bow down as they sustained a good drive late in the 4th, but an incomplete pass on 4th and 3 with a minute to go gave Oregon the win. The Ducks would take a three-game lead in the Pac-12 North with only five games to go.

Many believed this matchup to be Oregon's final test before reaching the College Football Playoff as the Ducks visited the USC Trojans. While USC was 5–3, they hadn't lost a home game all season – including an upset win over #10 Utah in Week 4. In a high-scoring game, Juwan Johnson scored three 3rd Quarter touchdowns and Oregon's defense frustrated the USC offense by getting sacks and turnovers en route to a 56–24 victory at the LA Coliseum. The Ducks fell in an early 10–0 hole, but held the Trojans to 14 points the rest of the game and scored touchdowns on defense and special teams to pick up the win.

On a Saturday night in the desert, the Ducks struggled to stop Jayden Daniels and his group of wide receivers throughout the game. Oregon trailed Arizona State 24–7 in the 4th Quarter, but Herbert and Johnny Johnson III hooked up twice for touchdowns to pull Oregon within three. But on the next possession for the Sun Devils, Daniels hit Brandon Aiyuk on 3rd and 16 for an 84-yard touchdown to seal the deal late in the 4th quarter. The Ducks would get one more touchdown from Johnson but it would not be enough as they suffered a 31–28 loss in Tempe. It would eventually knock out any chance Oregon would have to make it to the College Football Playoff.

Oregon squared off with the Utah Utes, the Pac-12 South champions, in the Pac-12 Championship.

Oregon started off fast, stopping Utah on two 4th and 1's, forcing an interception, and scoring 20 points in the 1st half. C. J. Verdell scored on Oregon's first drive while Herbert hit Johnny Johnson III for a 49-yard TD strike in the 2nd quarter. Utah would respond in the 2nd half.

Following a field goal by Camden Lewis, the Utes would get a touchdown and two-point conversion from Samson Nacua to make it 23–15 Oregon. The Ducks would put the game away midway through the 4th quarter when Verdell rushed for a 70-yard touchdown to give Oregon a 15-point lead late in the game.

Game information

The Ducks would meet the Big Ten runner-up, the 10–3 Wisconsin Badgers, in the Rose Bowl in Pasadena for a rematch of the 2012 Rose Bowl. The game started out well for Oregon as they scored a touchdown on their opening possession from Justin Herbert on a QB run. The Badgers would return the ensuing kickoff for a touchdown to tie it up. After Wisconsin kicked a field goal to make it 10–7, Herbert ran for his second score of the game to give Oregon the lead, 14–10. Wisconsin would respond as Jack Coan found Quintez Cephus for a short touchdown to give Wisconsin a 17–14 lead at halftime. Wisconsin did not get much going on their first drive of the 3rd quarter, leading to a punt. But Oregon's special teams managed to block the punt and Brady Breeze took the blocked punt to the end zone to put Oregon up 21–17. Wisconsin's defense held off the Ducks offense and put up the next 10 points to go up 27–21 in the 4th quarter. But during a possession late in the game, Wisconsin RB Jonathan Taylor fumbled the football, which was recovered by Oregon. On the next play, Herbert would keep it himself for a 30-yard touchdown run, his third of the game, to put the Ducks up 28–27. The Ducks defense would stop the Badgers on their final two possessions and Oregon ran out the clock to secure the win. The Ducks won their first Rose Bowl since 2014 and finished the season 12–2 and Rose Bowl Champions.
