Rankings from AP Poll

The 1948 Oregon Ducks football team represented the University of Oregon in the 1948 college football season. The Ducks competed as a member of the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC). The team was led by head coach Jim Aiken, in his second year, and played their home games at Hayward Field in Eugene and at Multnomah Field in Portland. Oregon finished the regular season ranked ninth, with nine wins and one loss, and won all seven conference games in the PCC. They did not play Montana or #4 California; the Golden Bears won all ten games during the regular season.

Denied a Rose Bowl berth by a conference vote, the PCC allowed a second bowl bid this season; Oregon played SMU in the Cotton Bowl in Dallas on New Year's Day.
