The Hurricanes initially got off to a bad start to the 2021 season, where they sat with a 2-4 record after their first six games of the year. Now, they have won five of their last six meetings, including back-to-back wins against AP Top 25 teams in North Carolina State and Pittsburgh.

Oregon State hold a 7-4 record entering their rivalry week game against the No. 11 Oregon Ducks. They are on a two-game winning streak after defeating the Stanford Cardinal and Arizona State Sun Devils.

If McMurphy’s projections turn out to be true, then the Hurricanes and Beavers will be heading to El Paso, TX for the New Year’s Eve game. As is the case every year, keep your eyes peeled following the conference championship games to see which teams will play in which bowl games.
