Here is the latest Oregon news from The Associated Press

UNDATED (AP) – Pac-12 champion Oregon and Big Ten champion Ohio State will meet in Arlington, Texas, at the home of the Cowboys on Jan. 12 to decide the national title in the first year of the new postseason system. The Ducks and Buckeyes last played in the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, in 2010. Ohio State won that game 26-17. This time, the national championship for college football will be at stake. It would be the first for Oregon.

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — Marcus Mariota and Oregon turned an avalanche of Florida State mistakes into a mountain of points and the Ducks rolled past the defending national champions 59-20 yesterday to turn the first College Football Playoff semifinal into a Rose Bowl rout. Mariota and the second-seeded Ducks scored six straight times they touched the ball in the second half, with five of the touchdowns covering at least 21 yards and the last four coming after Florida State turnovers.

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) – Several Oregon football players are facing team discipline after celebrating their Rose Bowl win by mocking Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston. Video taken from the field as Oregon celebrated its 59-20 win at the Rose Bowl showed at least three players chanting “No means no!,” referring to sexual assault allegations against Winston.

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) – Two teachers from Eugene, Oregon, decided to get hitched yesterday during a tailgate party before the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. Both Steven Twomey and Lisa DeFluri are big fans of the Oregon Ducks. There were plenty of Oregon fans stopping to congratulate the happy couple when they saw the green and gold arch and ‘just got hitched’ sign.
