In a game played on October 10, 2026, Oregon lost to UCLA 17-15 after failing to convert a crucial 2-point attempt late in the fourth quarter. The Big Ten admitted that the Ducks should have snapped the ball closer to the end zone for the attempt. Oregon's run was executed from the 3-yard line, while it should have been from the 1-yard line following a previous personal foul on UCLA. The conference's statement clarified the error in the ball placement for the final attempt.
