The Oregon Ducks are set to travel a total of 15,961 miles during the 2026 season, ranking them 9th among 138 FBS teams and 2nd in the Big Ten, behind only USC. This follows their recent move to the Big Ten in 2024, which has increased the complexity of their travel schedule. Coach Dan Lanning has previously downplayed travel concerns, emphasizing the team's routine and preparations. However, the long distances and time zone changes pose challenges as they aim to compete for a national title, especially with key road games against Michigan State and Ohio State later in the season.
