The Oregon Ducks and Baylor Bears have canceled their future home-and-home football series, both schools announced Wednesday.
Oregon and Baylor were previously scheduled to begin a home-and-home series at McLane Stadium in Waco, Texas on September 11, 2027. The series was set to conclude at Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Ore., the following season on September 9, 2028. FBSchedules.com first broke the news of the series back in 2017.
A specific reason for the cancellation was not stated, but the termination of the agreement was mutual according to press releases from both schools.
Within its own press release, Oregon announced it has scheduled a replacement for Baylor in 2027. The Ducks will host the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers of the Sun Belt Conference on the same date, September 11.
With the changes, Oregon now has three scheduled non-conference opponents in 2027 — Eastern Washington on Sept. 4, Coastal Carolina on Sept. 11, and WKU on Sept. 18, all at home.
On Tuesday, Oregon announced a new four-game, home-and-home series with the Oregon State Beavers. The two schools will meet in Corvallis in 2028 and 2032, and in Eugene in 2029 and 2031.
With Oregon off the slate, Baylor’s non-league schedule in 2027 now includes a home tilt against Incarnate Word on Sept. 4 and a road contest at Air Force on Sept. 18.

When UCF plays cupcakes its because they're bad. When Big Ten teams do it it's because they're sooooo good.
Nah, it's because most B10 teams want (to average) 7 home games/year
The Ducks are attempting to make the SEC teams look like they have challenging OOC schedules. Good Grief! It's a sad state of scheduling affairs in college football. Perhaps if we had a 32 team playoff, some B1G/SEC teams might actually schedule P4 OOC true away games. No byes in CFP please....either 16 teams or 32 teams.
Looks like regular season games between two teams from two different P4 conferences are going to become rare. Sad times!
I am not sad at all & anyway CFB needs conference games more than ever.
so weeks 1-3 will now be cupcakes for everyone and basically a preseason? who is going to watch this trash
I rather see cupcakes games in September than in late November.
If Big Ten can do it so can SEC.
the SEC mandates one P4 game for every team. all 16 teams have one OOC game againstP4 teams this year. the BIG10 does not have the same mandated. just look at penn state, southern cal and indiana this year.
I like the required ooc 1 power 4 team . Indiana won’t play an ooc power 4 and the won the championship last year. Big 10 should make that a requirement.
