Bo Nix Has 'No Idea' If He'll Play in Oregon's Bowl Game After Pac-12 Title Game Loss

Oregon's 34-31 loss to Washington in the Pac-12 Championship Game may have been Bo Nix's final start in college.

Speaking to reporters after the defeat, Nix wasn't ready to say if he would play in the Ducks' bowl game.

"Can we just enjoy the moment right now and enjoy our season?" Nix asked. "That's not today's decision. I have no idea."

The Ducks had an opportunity to make the top four in the College Football Playoff with a win on Friday night. They entered the game 11-1 and No. 5 in the playoff rankings, with their lone defeat coming on the road against Washington on Oct. 14.

Losing to the Huskies for a second time guarantees Oregon won't crack the top 4 in the final College Football Playoff rankings that will be released on Sunday.

Nix and the Ducks did a great job of making the game competitive in the second half. Washington dominated the first half, taking a 20-3 lead at one point before Oregon got a touchdown late in the second quarter.

Oregon scored touchdowns on two of its first three possessions in the third quarter to go up 24-20. The Huskies responded by getting into the end zone on back-to-back drives to take a 10-point lead.

After the Ducks went 75 yards in two plays to make it a 34-31 game with 2:14 remaining, Washington got the ball back and picked up two first downs to run out the clock.

Stewart Mandel and Scott Dochterman of The Athletic noted Oregon will likely play in the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 1.

Nix will likely be one of the four Heisman finalists after a fantastic season. He's thrown for 4,145 yards, 40 touchdowns and completed 77.2 percent of his attempts in 13 games.

A fifth-year senior, Nix is the NCAA's all-time leader with 60 career starts. He spent his first three years at Auburn before transferring to Oregon in December 2021. He has a 21-5 record in 26 games with the Ducks.
