Ducks 2024 game-by-game score predictions

As we start to transition into a new season, the landscape is getting set to change for Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks. No longer will the program have the comfort of competing in the Pac-12 Conference once again, with familiar foes like Stanford, Washington State, and California on the schedule. Rather, the Ducks will prepare to embark on a new era of college football, joining the Big Ten for the first time and going up against the likes of Ohio State, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

More than just the schedule change, Oregon has new opportunities at the end of the coming season as well, working to secure a spot in the first newly expanded College Football Playoff, where 12 teams will now compete for a shot to win the national championship.

With those goals on the horizon, Lanning will work to mold his roster into a championship contender, replacing the likes of Bo Nix, Troy Franklin, Jackson Powers-Johnson, Bucky Irving, Brandon Dorlus, and many other pivotal players from last year’s team.

So how successful will they be? According to a lot of preseason projections and polls, the Ducks are being ranked among the best teams in the nation, with some great odds to win their first-ever national championship. While a lot of rankings have them somewhere in the top 5 or top 10, we wanted to take a deeper dive into things and see if we can figure out which games will ultimately be the most pivotal for the team.

We’ve done the strength of schedule rankings in the Big Ten, and projected where every team would land when bowl season came around. Now we want to get specific, and offer game-by-game score predictions for the Ducks. Let’s break down the entire slate for the Ducks and try to predict what we might see in the end.
