Oregon Duck fans are likely feeling a bit confused after some recent news. The latest deep dive into the upcoming College Football 25 video game by EA Sports had fans excited, especially when Kirk Herbstreit revealed the College Football Playoff feature and showed an example playoff bracket with the Oregon Ducks winning the national championship against the Ohio State Buckeyes. However, the score of that game was Oregon 42, Ohio State 20, which brought up some difficult memories for Duck fans.
The question on everyone’s minds is whether this is just a massive trolling job from EA Sports. The score of the game mirrors Ohio State’s victory over Oregon in the 2014 National Championship game, leading some fans to wonder if there is a curse at play. Is this a foreshadowing of things to come, or just a warning for fans not to get too excited too soon?
It’s impossible to say at this point, but regardless, it will be interesting to see how it all plays out. Oregon fans will have to wait and see if this virtual matchup holds any significance for the real upcoming season.
