As for Oregon's 2027 recruiting class, Rivals currently ranks it No. 4 in the country and No. 1 in the Big Ten. They have received 24 total commitments, 16 of them being from recruits rated as either four or five stars.

The top rated Oregon recruit in the class of 2027 is wide receiver Dakota Guerrant. Guerrant is a 6-1, 200 pound wide receiver out of Harper Woods, Michigan. Rivals rates him as a five-star recruit and rates him as the No. 5 wide receiver in the class of 2027. Guerrant committed to Oregon back on June 16.

Oregon's 2026 season will get underway on Saturday, Sept. 5 at Autzen Stadium when they take on the Boise State Broncos. Oregon is coming off back-to-back seasons in which they made the College Football Playoff. They'll aim for three playoff appearances in a row this season.

In 2024, Oregon made the playoff as the No. 1 ranked team in the country. They were bounced right away in the quarterfinal by the eventual national champion Ohio State Buckeyes.

In 2025, Oregon made the playoff as the No. 5 ranked team in the country. They won their first round and quarterfinal playoff games to earn a spot in the semifinal. They would lose in this spot to the eventual national champion Indiana Hoosiers.

Oregon will now try to become the fourth different Big Ten team in as many years to win the national title. The Ducks are tied for the fourth best odds to win the national championship with Indiana per DraftKings Sportsbook with odds of +800. Ohio State is the betting favorites with odds of +600.
