Oregon is also coming off a successful 47-19 victory over in-stat rivals, Oregon State Beavers.

Arizona

The Arizona Wildcats must do one thing against the Oregon Ducks in the Pac-12 Championship. They must put pressure on Marcus Mariota.

In the last matchup between these two — an upset Arizona won at Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Ore. — the Wildcats were successful in their pursuit of the Heisman candidate. They forced him into a crucial fumble late in the contest — a fumble that proved to be the deciding factor in a game that went to the underdogs.

Entering this contest, Arizona is finding success through the air offensively. This team is just 44th in terms of rushing the football, but it’s 18th when it comes to passing yards per contest.

The team is giving up 25.5 points per game, which is only good enough for 57th in the nation, but it’s racking up 36.7 points per contest of its own, which is good enough for 20th in the nation.

Oregon

The Arizona Wildcats arguably control their own destiny. Many believe that if they beat the Oregon Ducks, they will be elected into the first-annual College Football Playoffs.

The Oregon Ducks, however, are definitely in the first-ever College Football Playoffs if they win this contest.

As the No. 2 team in the country, Oregon has the vote of everyone that counts if they win this matchup. The team is 11-1 on the year, but the irony here is that their only loss is the team that they’re double-digit favorites to with one win separating them and the College Football Playoffs.

Arizona is averaging 11.2 more points per game compared to what they’re giving up. That’s a strong mark that goes in their favor, but they’re going up against a team that is averaging 22.6 more points per game than their opponents.

Week 15 NCAA Football

The Oregon Ducks look primed for revenge. Expect this one to be a decent contest through one half, but the second half should belong to the team primed for an appearance in the College Football Playoffs: The Oregon Ducks.
