The No. 8 Ducks get one final game at Autzen Stadium in 2011 for the right to win their third straight conference title and earn a second trip to the Rose Bowl in three years on Friday night at 5:00 against a 6-6 team from UCLA in the inaugural Pac-12 Championship game.

The last time the two met was last October at Autzen when the Ducks smashed the Bruins 60-13.

UCLA is coming off their largest margin of defeat to their crosstown rivals at USC since 1930, 50-0.

It is basically all or none for UCLA, which fired head coach Rick Neuheisel on Monday. A win and the Bruins return home to play on January 2nd, a loss and it's another losing season and likely missing out of a bowl game.

Neuheisel's final game will be against the Ducks.

Oregon is an early 30 point favorite to take home the Pac-12 crown.
