It’s the No. 5 Ducks against the No. 12 Dukes, each with something to prove as they begin the race to a national championship. 

Oregon lost just one game this season, coming up short against No. 1 overall seed Indiana. That sole loss was enough to keep the Ducks out of the Big Ten Championship, and thus a No. 5 seed. After last season’s disappointing playoff run, Oregon is ready to leave it all on the field.

For JMU, their inclusion in the playoffs was controversial. But the Dukes won the Sun Belt Championship for a reason, and they have nothing to lose by playing their game.

Eugene is ready to rock on December 20 when the CFP comes to town. Here’s how to get tickets for the Oregon-JMU game with prices and start time.
