The Oregon Ducks are in Atlanta and ready to avenge their one loss from earlier this season. While the Chick-fil-a Peach Bowl is played inside Mercedes Benz Stadium, you still get a forecast. It will be perfect inside. The temperature at kickoff will be just about 67 degrees. There will be no wind inside.

Oregon and Indiana will play for a trip to Miami and the College Football Playoff Championship. The Ducks and Hoosiers met in October at Autzen Stadium, and Indiana won 30-20. I think Oregon has figured out what happened and won't make those same mistakes. If you are at the game, or just watching on ESPN, make sure to wear GREEN. Lets cheer on the boys to another playoff win, and let's head back to Hard Rock Stadium. Go Ducks!

Happy New Year Duck fans! The DuckCast is ready to start 2026 off in style with a big Oregon football game! The Ducks arrived in Miami on Monday and are ready to take on Texas Tech in the Capital One Orange Bowl at Hard Rock Stadium.

The weather in Miami Gardens, Florida, will be absolutely perfect for a College Football Playoff game. While the stadium has a roof, it is actually an open air venue. The temperature at kickoff at Noon eastern will be just about 63 degrees. A very light wind will blow through the stadium. There is not threat of rain, so the weather will be the least of anyone's worries. If you are going to game or watching on ESPN, make sure to wear GREEN. Let's cheer on the boys to victory.

The DuckCast is on site at Autzen Stadium. It was a lovely drive down from Portland this morning. Higher clouds are slowly giving way to more mid-level as the next incoming system approaches, however, the saying that "It never rains at Autzen Stadium" will hold true today.

The temperature at kickoff will be a nice 44 degrees. There is a very slight breeze from the southwest and the flags around the stadium are slowly moving. It will be an absolutely amazing day for football here in the southern Willamette Valley. With the playoff era upon us, I'm okay with the idea of a home December game at Autzen. There is no better place for college football than here.

The stadium will be packed as the Ducks and Dukes take the field at 4:30 p.m. If you're here at the stadium, cheer loudly. If you are watching on TV or listening to Jerry and Jorgy, cheer loudly too. Let's get this playoff going in the right direction. Go Ducks!

The Oregon Ducks have one game left in the regular season. While we used to be ready to head to Eugene or Corvallis tomorrow, with the new conference alignment, our true rival is our new last game. Oregon is in Seattle to take on the University of Washington.

Nothing more needs to be said about this game, so we will get right into the DuckCast.

The temperature at kickoff will be right about 47 degrees. A very light northeast wind will come off of Lake Washington, and won’t make much of an impact. It will be mostly cloudy on Saturday. Any rain will likely hold off until well after the game. It will be a perfect fall day for college football in the Pacific Northwest.

If you are headed to the game or just watching on TV, make sure you wear GREEN. Let’s cheer on the boys to another win and we will see what awaits in the College Football Playoffs. Go Ducks!

P.S. Kenny Wheaton is gonna score.

The Oregon Ducks remain home this week as another large matchup looms. The University of Southern California comes to Autzen in a pivotal Big Ten contest that has major playoff implications.

Oregon took care of Minnesota last weekend. The Golden Gophers were a good warm up for a team from Los Angeles that is starting to remind college football fans of past Trojan strength. USC will be looking to upset the Ducks, but Oregon will be ready. Some are calling it a rivalry, and I think it is. Oregon fights for recruits in USC’s backyard and the Trojans have stolen a lot of talent from Oregon over the years.

These two teams respect each other, but that is as far as it goes. Onto the DuckCast and what will happen weather-wise at Autzen.
We have entered the foggy season in the southern Willamette Valley. Fog forms early and burns off late. Temperatures don’t usually move all that much. On Saturday, fog will form and it will be slow to burn off. Above the fog, partly cloudy skies will be the call. The temperature at kickoff will be in the upper 40s. A very light wind won’t move the fog around very much and shouldn’t really make it feel colder. The temperature will rise only a few degrees during the game. If you are headed to the game, make sure to wear BLACK. Let’s cheer on the boys to a BIG WIN. Go Ducks!

Bonus DuckCast: College Gameday on the quad.

The temperature on campus for the start of ESPN’s College Gameday will be a few degrees above freezing. It will be downright cold when the show goes live at 6 a.m. It will be foggy around campus, adding to the magic that is one of the best campuses in the world. Oregon fans will show up, there is no doubt about that. I can’t wait to see what happens on TV and on the quad. Go Ducks!

The Oregon Ducks welcome the Golden Gophers of Minnesota to Autzen this afternoon. The forecast has been wild all week. It started out with a complete downpour and washout of a game to now looking perfect for a game in Eugene.

Last week in Iowa was one for the history books. Oregon adapted to the conditions and took care of business. Minnesota Coach PJ Fleck would've done well there with all the boat rowing he does.

At kickoff, the temperature will be in the mid 50s with a very light wind. The rain will hold off until after the game and it will feel like fall in the Willamette Valley. If you are going to the game, make sure to wear GREEN. Let's cheer on the boys to another BIG win. Go Ducks!

This is one of the most challenging forecasts the DuckCast has ever had. The first big winter-like storm is taking shape over the state of Iowa as we speak. Temperatures have fallen into the upper 30s and will continue to fall throughout the game. Winds have switched from the east and are now coming from the north. Winds will be sustained 15-20 mph, with gusts in the upper 20s.

It has been raining on and off in Iowa City, and there is a chance that rain turns to snow later this afternoon. It's truly BIG TEN Football weather. We're lucky we don't see more of it in Eugene.

If you watching the game on CBS or at Kinnick Stadium, make sure to wear GREEN. If you are at the game, make sure to wave at the kids at Iowa Children's Hospital, one of the coolest college football traditions. Let's cheer on the boys to another win. Go Ducks!

The Oregon Ducks return to Autzen Stadium on Saturday. Following a dominating win at Rutgers, Oregon will look to continue their winning ways. The Wisconsin Badgers come calling on what will be a very stormy day in the southern Willamette Valley.

Let's jump right into the DuckCast. It will be a wet, wild, and windy afternoon and evening in Eugene. The temperature at kickoff will be right about 54 degrees. The temp will hold steady for most of the day. The big story will be the wind and rain. While it never rains at Autzen Stadium, it can really pour. Winds will be out of the southwest at about 25 mph, with gusts approaching 40 mph. The wind will swirl around the inside of the stadium. There is a slight chance of thunderstorms especially in the afternoon. Rain amounts will approach roughly half an inch. If you're going to the game, wear Tie-Dye and try to stay dry. Let's cheer on the boys to another BIG victory. Go Ducks!

The Ducks look to get back to winning this weekend as they make the longest trip of the year. Raise your hand if going to New Jersey sounds like fun after a loss...Yeah I didn't think so. The Ducks travel to take on a Rutgers team that is the perfect medicine to get Oregon back on top.

The weather in Piscataway will be perfect for college football. The temperature at kickoff will be right about 60 degrees and will slowly fall into the mid 50s by the time the game is over. A slight southerly wind won't make much of a difference. Partly cloudy skies will be the call as Oregon matches up against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. If you going to the game or just watching from home, make sure to wear GREEN. Let's cheer on the boys to a rebound win. Go Ducks!

The Oregon Ducks return to the field following a much needed bye week. Following an overtime win at Penn State, the Ducks took the week to regroup and get healthy as the BIG TEN schedule settles in and good opponents come calling. A very talented Indiana team comes to Autzen with the hopes of playing a spoiler, however, they haven't played in front of an Autzen crowd that is hungry for a big win.

The weather on Saturday will be classic fall for the Pacific Northwest. While it never rains at Autzen Stadium, there will be plenty of liquid sunshine as kickoff approaches. One good thing is that any rain that does fall should be light. Forecast models say about a tenth of an inch should fall between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. The temperature at kickoff will be right about 60 degrees. A southerly wind around 7 mph will make it feel a bit crisp. Winds from the south don't really swirl around the inside of the stadium, so it shouldn't have much effect on the ball. If you're going to the game, make sure to wear YELLOW. Let's cheer on the boys to another big win. Go Ducks!
