Formerly both members of the Pac-12 North Division, the teams were previously unable to rematch in the Pac-12 championship game. However, a 2022 NCAA and conference rule change eliminated the North versus South divisional matchup.[1] This will be the final regular season game in the Pac-12 Conference for both teams, with Oregon and Washington set to begin play in the Big Ten Conference in 2024.

Oregon Ducks

The Ducks clinched the second seed with their victory over Oregon State on November 24.[2]
