Three Make-Or-Break Games To Contend for CFP
Can the Oregon football team control their playoff destiny with wins in three of the toughest games on the 2024 schedule?
There is no doubt the Ducks have the talent to be a contender for the Big Ten Conference championship. That said, there are three opponents that will have something to say about that, starting with Pac-12 conference rival turned Big Ten rival, Washington.
3. Washington Huskies travel to Autzen Stadium in Eugene on November 30
While there are other teams that may present a challenge to the Ducks, this matchup continues a rivalry from the old Pac-12 and is always a hard-fought game. Oregon has the advantage of a bye week before this game, giving the Ducks a chance to get healthy as they look to avenge two losses to the Huskies last year, including the Pac-12 championship game.
2. Oregon travels to Ann Arbor and the Big House on November 2nd to face the Michigan Wolverines
Michigan is coming off a tremendous 2023-2024 campaign as they went undefeated and bested Washington for the national championship. The Wolverines face the upcoming season with a new head coach, starting quarterback and running back with other assorted fresh faces on both sides of the ball. The question is, how fast can Michigan bring this team together so that they are playing with talent rather than relying on a storied culture of top-notch football.
1. The Ohio State Buckeyes travel to Autzen Stadium Eugene on October 12
The biggest game on the Ducks’ schedule is no surprise. It’s the game that could go a long way in determining a Big Ten champion. The Buckeyes have added significant talent this off-season through the transfer portal and success in recruiting high quality players.
If the talent matchup alone wasn’t enough, consider that former Duck coach, Chip Kelly, is the new offensive coordinator at Ohio State. Kelly will again walk the Oregon sideline. Suffice to say, Kelly will have some surprises for the Ducks and they will have some twists of their own for Kelly’s offense. These two teams have met 10 times, with Ohio State winning nine. Oregon looks to use the Autzen Stadium advantage to start a new rivalry with a Ducks’ victory.

Oregon State Police seek witnesses to Hwy 20E crash involving black Chevy Silverado
DESCHUTES COUNTY, Ore. — Oregon State Police are asking for additional witnesses to come forward after a three-vehicle crash on Highway 20E in Deschutes County left two people seriously injured.
Troopers responded at 12:47 p.m. Friday, July 10, to the crash near milepost 41. A preliminary investigation found a westbound 2013 black Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck pulling a single-axle utility trailer attempted to pass a black Dodge 4500 towing a trailer. Police said an eastbound Hyundai Elantra tried to avoid a collision with the Chevrolet, lost control in the gravel on the eastbound shoulder, veered into the westbound lane and collided with the trailer pulled by the Dodge 4500.
The driver and passenger of the Hyundai were flown by air medic to a local hospital with serious injuries.
The crash affected traffic for about five hours. The driver of the Chevrolet was cited for careless driving and unsafe passing.
OSP is asking anyone who may have seen the Chevrolet driving westbound on Highway 20 at the moment of, or prior to, the collision to contact the OSP Northern Command Center dispatch at 800-442-0776 or *OSP (*677) from a mobile phone. Callers should reference case number SP26-255130.

Oregon Supreme Court Rejects Appeal of Multnomah County’s Flavored Tobacco Vape Ban
The Oregon Supreme Court on Thursday declined to review the Oregon Court of Appeals’ decision upholding Multnomah County’s ban on flavored tobacco and nicotine products.
Legal challenges have so far delayed the ordinance from taking effect since it was passed four years ago. It was not immediately clear when the ban would go into effect.
“Flavors are one of Big Tobacco’s biggest tricks to hook the next generation of Oregonians on their deadly products,” Christina Bodamer, who leads the Western states region of the American Heart Association, said following the court’s decision.
The Board of County Commissioners originally approved the ordinance banning flavored tobacco and nicotine products in December 2022 to take effect Jan. 1, 2024. But the ordinance hit a roadblock: a court challenge by the 21+ Tobacco and Vapor Retail Association of Oregon, e-cigarette retailer No Moke Daddy LLC, and vape shop owner Paul Bates.
It has been working its way through the state court system since. The Multnomah County Circuit Court upheld the ban in September 2023. The state Court of Appeals continued the pause on implementation February 2024, before upholding the ban in an April 2025 decision. The Supreme Court’s denial of review marks the end of the saga.
The Supreme Court rejected a challenge to a similar restriction in Washington County in May. That now sets up both ordinances to go into effect, which will together ban flavored tobacco and nicotine for one-third of Oregonians. A similar ban failed in the Oregon Legislature in 2025, dying in committee.
Tobacco use is the top cause of preventable death and disease in Oregon, according to the Oregon Health Authority. More than 8,000 Oregonians die from tobacco use each year.
Supporters of the ban argue that flavored tobacco acts as a gateway for underage use. According to Flavors Hook Oregon Kids, a coalition of more than 60 organizations that support the ban, 81% of Oregonian kids who’ve used tobacco started with flavored products. And flavored products are much more popular among kids and young adults than older adults, OHA says.
Richard Burke, executive director of the 21+ Tobacco and Vapor Retail Association of Oregon, tells WW the group is disappointed that the Supreme Court did not take up the case. He argues that banning flavored tobacco “has effectively granted a monopoly to the black market,” where flavored products are often laced with more dangerous substances.
“We agree with the goal of keeping these products out of the hands of minors,” Burke says. “But this is an overcorrection that will result in unintended consequences as has been shown by attempts to institute flavor bans in other parts of the country.”
Willamette Week’s reporting has real-life impact that changes laws, forces action by civic leaders, and drives compromised politicians from public office.
