Oregon and Liberty will meet in a collegiate postseason once again, after the Ducks beat the Flames in the Fiesta Bowl to cap the 2023 football season, 45-6.
The two squads are playing in the East Region, where the top-seed is the Duke Blue Devils.
The winner of Oregon-Liberty will face the winner of the 4-seed Arizona Wildcats and 13-seed Akron Zips in a game that will tip off earlier Friday at 4:35 p.m.
Two victories in Seattle would put Oregon back in the Sweet Sixteen in an East Region that will come out of Newark, New Jersey.
