For the second time in three years, Oregon will finish the college football season by playing a Texas team in San Antonio.
In 2013, it was the Texas Longhorns. On Jan. 2, it will be TCU that faces Oregon in the Alamo Bowl in a matchup of programs ranked in the AP preseason poll's top seven that saw their national championship dreams fade after injuries to their star quarterbacks.
The Ducks finished 15th in Sunday's final College Football Playoff standings, while TCU was 11th.
"We always talk about ending the season on an exclamation point instead of a period," UO coach Mark Helfrich said Sunday.
