2002 saw the Ducks accomplish one of their finest performances ever, going unbeatable at home and winning the Pac-10 title. The team went on to defeat Montana, Wake Forest and Texas in the 2002 NCAA Tournament to reach the Elite Eight and end their season with a 6 ranking.
The next year, the Ducks won the Pac-10 tournament, and received an 8 seed in the NCAA tournament behind the strong play of Pac-10 Player of the Year, Luke Ridnour. However, were defeated by Utah in the opening round of the 2003 NCAA tournament.
After disappointing 2004-2006, the team has regained its serenity and kicked off the New Year with an upset of 1 UCLA on January 6, 2007.

Baseball
Oregon fielded its first baseball program in 1876. The Ducks won the Pac-10 title 14 times and produced 22 Major League players before being lowered to a club sport in 1981. UO made one College World Series appearance, in 1954, and was removed from the tournament after losing to Arizona and Massachusetts. Oregon is the only member of the Pac-10 with no baseball team at the intercollegiate level.
Relationship with Nike
UO track and field coach Bill Bowerman transformed the athletic shoe by pouring molten rubber into a waffle iron, creating a prototype rubber sole. He went on to co-find the Nike Corporation with UO alumnus Phil Knight. Nike has maintained a close relationship with UO ever since, manufacturing all university logo clothing and uniforms for the football team, including research prototypes for high-tech "smart clothes", such as jerseys with cooling systems. Controversy surrounding Nike's labor practice precipitated protests in 2000 led by a group of students calling themselves The Human Rights Alliance. The University of Oregon joined the Worker Rights Consortium (WRC) but was quickly reproved by Phil Knight in a scathing letter resulting in the rescindence of a US$30 million dollar contribution to renovate Autzen Stadium, and a security for no more future donations should the University continue its membership in the WRC. It terminated the relationship with the WRC within a year of joining, citing "legal complications." Phil Knight later restored the donation and increased the money to over US$50 million dollars.
Uniforms
The University of Oregon football team is renowned, and even leaders and innovators of style regarding their uniforms. In the 2005 season, they used nine uniform combinations, including white jerseys and white pants, yellow and green, yellow and yellow, green and green, white and green, green and yellow, white and yellow, black and black, and white and black, which they wore in the 2005 Holiday Bowl against the University of Oklahoma.
2005-2006 football season
In 2005, Oregon had success behind senior quarterback Kellen Clemens and a new spread offense. Unfortunately, during a game at Arizona, Clemens suffered a broken ankle. At that point Oregon was 8-1, and still in the hunt for a BCS game. Oregon won their final three games and their success led them into contention for a bid to the Fiesta Bowl. The Ducks finished the regular season with a 10-1 record, their best finish since their Joey Harrington-led, Fiesta Bowl-winning 2001-2002 team. They finished 5th overall in the BCS ranking system, which have been high enough to earn them a bid to a BCS Bowl. In 2005, Ohio State finished just ahead of the Ducks, in 4th place, guaranteeing them one of the at-large berths.
Notre Dame finished 6th in the BCS and the two teams with worse records was selected over the Ducks. Moreover, for the second following year, the Pac-10 conference had a team that finished with a one-loss season snubbed by the BCS. TV ratings hurt the Ducks' BCS chances was disproved later by The Wall Street Journal, which published an article showing that Oregon drew the highest bowl ratings in college football. The situation has led to more calls for a playoff system to replace the BCS, receiving criticism from college football fans. Instead of a BCS game, they were assigned to the Holiday Bowl versus the Oklahoma Sooners. Playing without their starting quarterback, Kellen Clemons, and combined with a strong showing from the Sooners, the Ducks fell in a close game, 17-14, finishing the season tied for the second-best in school history with a 10-2 overall record.
