Dan Lanning: ‘A lot more pros than cons’ for No. 1 Oregon football playing in Big Ten Championship game

Dan Lanning believes there are many more benefits to Oregon competing in the Big Ten Championship than there are to other coaches speculating about the risk-reward of being in their league’s greatest event, especially those who do not compete in conference championship games.

As the only unbeaten FBS team, the top-ranked Ducks (12-0, 9-0 Big Ten) have topped the College Football Playoff standings for all four weeks and will undoubtedly be doing so going into Saturday’s game against No. 4 Penn State. While the loser will probably host a first-round match two weeks later as the No. 5 or 6 seed, the winner receives a first-round bye and will play in the Rose Bowl in a quarterfinal match, most likely as the No. 1 or 2 seed.
